At least, in imagination, we must give ourselves everything.
Intro
We write the stories we need. We dream the dreams that bring us joy. Most of the time.
My intent is to express everything is alright. What is not alright is on its way to becoming alright. Every problem can be solved and no situation is permanent. Desires can be brought to life and no achievement is unattainable.
I also believe that stories are a wonderful guiding post. Stories help us look within. Stories help us find inner strength, validation, laughter, love, romance and so much more. As long as there are stories and as long as these stories have characters, one is never alone and one is never without hope.
Books
Breaking away from lies, manipulation and control disguised as love.
He resolved to become a better man, should she ever need him. Now, she does.
The day she receives the acceptance letter from a prestigious university, Aarohi Narang has a nervous breakdown. The doctors are unable to determine why the talented singer has lost her voice.
Aarohi hasn’t lost her voice. It is the only ruse the teenager could muster.
Aarohi has lived her life walking on eggshells. She has no evidence of this, only a sneaking suspicion. A sneaking suspicion and a strong conviction that only one other family member can validate her feelings.
Tarang has spent eighteen years overcoming his own personal demons. When Aarohi reaches out to him, he vows to stand by her as she discovers the truth about their family.
The quest to know herself takes Aarohi on a dangerous journey where everything she has believed about everything is challenged.
‘In the Name of Love’ is a story about betrayal, anger, grief… and nurturing a dream.
An intense drama about family, friendship and romance (not between Aarohi and Tarang).
Nandini Vasu is terrified she will turn into her mother.
(Personality wise. This story has no witches.)
Patience is a virtue. Curiosity? Not so much. Ask Nandini Vasu. She spied on her mother when she was eight years old.
Her spying expedition led her to witness a horrific event.
Children are resilient, and so was Nandini. Until the mother of her high school love interest informed her that character runs in the family.
Nandini’s views on love remained vague and open-ended. Then, she met Vivek Mittal.
Handsome, intelligent, patient and practical, Vivek was easy to fall in love with.
Love can move mountains. Unfortunately for Nandini, that mountain happens to be fear. Fear of becoming the person who destroys a relationship.
Time cannot be reversed (yet) and Nandini does love Vivek. She is left with only one option—to overcome this debilitating fear.
Most humans, dare I say all humans, desire love, connection and companionship.
Desire is sweet when it remains a dream with the possibility of realization. When outcomes, mandates, time and opinions interfere with desire, it tends to become a painful nemesis.
‘The Right Place’ is a collection of the stories of five women who have not attained the kind of romantic love, connection and companionship everyone insists upon. Various reasons have contributed to the circumstances they are in.
-
Living six months on the road and six months at her sister’s place, Sita has no time for love.
-
Being labelled ‘unlucky’ by her family, Sakshi has to make peace with herself first.
-
Ruhi believes perfect weight is a mandatory criteria for attracting the perfect boyfriend.
-
Having her heart broken twice has made Rachael jaded.
-
The uber ambitious–uber rich Nina has spent her life believing that one has zero chances of finding love if they haven’t found it within thirty something years of their existence.
