I had someone ask me recently if I’d ever write an age-gap romance story. I always appreciate readers sharing ideas and engaging with my work, but this is one trope I personally won’t write.
          	
          	I know age-gap romances are incredibly popular, and I fully understand that many readers enjoy them. But for me, I don’t find relationships between a 35-year-old and an 18-year-old romantic. Even if it’s technically legal, it still feels deeply unbalanced to me emotionally, mentally, and in terms of life experiences.
          	
          	Personally, I believe partnerships should feel equal, and not like a dynamic between a fully grown adult and someone who is barely out of adolescence. That imbalance is something I can’t romanticize in my own stories.
          	
          	In fact, the biggest age difference I’ve written so far is four years (in Shivaani’s story), and even that felt significant to me while writing it.
          	
          	Just wanted to share my perspective out loud since I’ve been thinking about it lately. Everyone has different tastes in fiction, and this is simply one of my personal boundaries as a writer.

I've been posting new chapters in "Heirs of Mahishmati- Shivaani". Wattpad is having some issues where the readers aren't getting notifications. I hope Wattpad works to resolve this issue soon, but in the mean time, keep checking for updates from time to time.

@lonelysoul19 oh no... I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Wattpad. Not sure what's going on..

Just read beneath the monsoon sky...it was a story i might never forget
          Kudoos to you for writing so brilliantly
          Reading the last part made me bittersweet
          Because if a woman once questioned for something even after all the proofs provided of her not being guilty,it still isn't eniugh for this society
          Your determination and the way you fought against all odds is an inspiration for me

@lonelysoul19 True, nobody was born as a villain but gets made sadly. And I also think he deserves a second chance. 
            By the way, I hope in future you will make more fantastic historical stories like this

A loving husband, a good job, a perfect, beautiful family... A life that often feels like a dream.
          And yet, on nights like this, the past returns with its fangs bared, and it hurts so deeply that it drowns out everything else. It makes me wonder whether pain ever truly heals, or if it simply learns to wait.
          
          I started writing as an outlet for my emotions, but days like this are heavy. I’m not even sure why I’m putting this here. Maybe I’ll delete it in a few hours. Maybe it’s foolish. Or maybe it’s just me admitting that even in a good life, some wounds never truly go away... And it still aches...

            Author i know the emotions u must be feeling while putting it here but once u believe in god and in his decisions then pain will also feel like a phase which will pass. The most powerful element in this universe is time and it keeps on changing . So how big the pain might be but with passing of time it becomes a lesson in our life. 
            
            Agar life main struggle and pain hain toh samajhlo ki tum thik aur sahi raaste pe ho . Aur agar life main sab kuch set aur perfect ho then jan lena ki tum kuch na kuch galat kar rahe ho.
            
            Bhagwan v isliye bhagwan hain kyunki unki life main v bahut sare pain aur struggle they jinko unhone face liye and successfully bahar aaye.

@lonelysoul19 Pain doesn’t always leave, it just grows quieter until certain nights call it. Writing this wasn’t foolish, it was you listening to something that still needed air. I hope tonight is gentle with you. A good life doesn’t erase old pain, it just means we’re strong enough to carry it. Thank you for sharing something so real.
