Thank you for being patient with me. I’ve finished most of the projects I had set out for, in this break. I will post about them soon. For now, I won’t come between you and the update 😀  I hope you all are safe, healthy, and coping well.  Love you all… a lot… ………………………………………………….. She grasped his shirt at his […]

He had never expected that she would say ‘this’. Not even in his dreams. Neither did she ever imagine that she would speak like this with anyone. With him! But such words are not planned and articulated. They just spill out. Like emotions. Like tears. Like an overwhelming surge of a deeply felt pain. The way she didn’t think even […]

I’m overwhelmed with the response to the last update. God bless you all for writing such positive and encouraging words. They make me feel blessed and motivated to write more. Thanks and lots of love to all of you. I’ve replied to most, but I apologize if someone was left as I did my best with the time I could […]

I keep mentioning my other site and new manan fic as there are many people who were busy for the last few days and have no clue about the new manan fic.  Words fall short when I want to communicate my gratitude towards all of you for your love, your patience, your encouragement, and support for my stories – each […]

I have started updating Fire & Ice and Love, Lies, etc. on my other blog where I post Manan fics.  Thank you for all the love and motivation that makes me speechless all the time.  Stay blessed. Stay safe. Love you people 🙂 ………………………. Post dinner, Manasvi sat on her bed and opened her diary to fill in the missing […]

~ ~ Updating sooner, like I had promised. ~ I haven’t replied to a lot of comments and a lot of mails and messages. I get hundreds of them every day. Trust me, I want to reply to each of you but I get very little time for myself. In that time, I prefer to deal with emergencies or try […]

Thank you for all the love in the previous parts. Apologies for not replying to you.  Love you all, you have no idea, how much!! Stay blessed. Take care. ………………………………………… Every last trace of doubt vanished the very next moment. When he perceived the sound of footsteps and realized that someone was walking towards him. When he turned to look […]

The Internet was slow yesterday, so I couldn’t upload the update at night. In case I don’t upload before 12:00 am IST, please don’t keep waiting and go to sleep. I don’t want you to spoil your schedules for updates. I will post as soon as I get time and the internet. Right now, I woke up at 4:00 am, […]

Hello everyone, I had announced a new book ‘Till Eternity And Beyond’ a few weeks back with one chapter uploaded. Due to a lot of unavoidable reasons, I have decided to shelve it temporarily. I try not to repeat myself and try my best not to write any story in a cliched manner. I have a new and different concept […]

** Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends who are observing this festival. May this month bring peace, good health, satisfaction, & inner strength to all of you and your families, and May God Almighty shower His blessings on the entire world and puts a rest to the tests He has put us through. ** Love you all for the responses […]

Thank you for the lovely comments and likes for the last part. I read all, replied to a few and will keep trying to stay in touch in every way that I can. Apologies for keeping you waiting. I wrote the update of my other story, TEAB, but wasn’t happy, so I deleted it. I will post it soon. I […]

Gratitude and loads of love for all the replies, likes and responses on all the parts. Read the last ones. Thank you. I will never forget ANY of you. You are all too special. I had some time. So, I thought that the best form of reply from the writer is the next update. So thank you all collectively. And […]

I’ve read all the responses and comments on the last update. Thank you so much for reading this story and writing back to me. It means a lot. I haven’t been able to reply to people because I’m super busy these days. I will post a separate post at ‘my corner – blog’ to write about things that are keeping […]

Thank you for responding to my updates and posts. Life is hectic and busier in the lockdown period. My laptop didn’t become fine, but I had a separate keyboard so I connected it to the laptop. Working for now 🙂 I haven’t yet replied to some of the emails and messages that I receive in the inbox. Life is crazy […]

Hey people, So I woke up early today and I was missing my story, so I decided to post the update. For now, until my laptop works fine, I will post smaller and frequent updates as and when I am able to write. Apologies for spamming your email inbox, if I do 🙂 ……………………………… Early in the morning, when the […]

Hey people, I don’t know whether to say this as urgent or whatever, but this is the first time that I am using my phone to post something. I’m a laptop-kinda person who is not usually on phone. I am not addicted to phone and usually keep it away, so that my younger one doesn’t want it. On laptop, she […]

Thank you for reading this story. I’m glad that it connects with you like my previous stories have connected with you. I hope to do justice with the story and retain your trust in me. Love you loads. My heartfelt prayers for all of you. Stay safe. Stay blessed. ………………………………………… “He was here, yesterday. Looking devastated. Searching for you.” The […]

August 2018 Military Hospital, Jodhpur Major (Dr.) Sameer Singh Rathore finished the morning rounds after examining all the soldiers admitted in the general surgery ward. He returned to his cabin and sat down on his chair as he was informed that there was a call for him at the landline phone of his office. “Haan, ma?” Sameer spoke in an […]

Hello everyone, Hope each one of you is in good health. I am really glad that our PM has announced a complete lockdown for 21 days from today. If you see the pattern around the globe, even the most developed countries which were late in doing this, lost significantly in terms of time. The corona infected count kept increasing. And […]

Hello everyone, Hope all of you are fine and safely quarantined inside your home. Please, please, please stay inside until and unless it is very very very very urgent and you have to step out. And when you do, please ensure that you and your family follow ALL safety precautions. We are going through a tough time. Hope it passes […]

Hello everyone, How are you all doing? I know the situation is tough right now and we are all in almost a state of lockdown. I just came here to tell you all that please don’t panic.

Hey everyone, Sorry, I am absent here and not even replying to people. Actually, few days back, I received the final draft of my book – The Masquerade from the publisher for Last and Final Check where I am supposed to check each and every line for the go-ahead! And you have no idea what kind of torture it is. […]

Hello People, Thank you for the tremendous response to my previous teasers. It really really means a lot since I am just doing my bit to spread around a word about my book. To all those, who think they have read Twisted Minds on wattpad – there is a surprise – The book didn’t end there and it was only […]

  Hello Dear Lovely People, A Very Happy Women’s Day to all of us! Since morning, you might have seen numerous quotes, messages, creations, and videos about women who made a mark for themselves, women who are strong and invincible, women who inspire… So, I will not write anything more about the same. We have read and written a lot […]

Hello everyone, It’s another Sunday – A day that belongs to The Masquerade Thank you for your response to the teasers. I have to admit that I love making these teasers. They keep me connected to the world of The Masquerade – The world of Rudra and Mrinalini. 2-3 more small teasers and then I will share longer trailers. Glad […]

Hello everyone, As I have already warned you before – Sundays are my shameless promotion days. Rest of the days, I try not to bug people with my promos but Sundays are The Masquerade days 😀 So, I am here again — This is the second teaser of the book- It’s about the female protagonist – Dr. Mrinalini Sengupta. The […]

Hello Everyone, I’m here for my post on #FridayConnect. I am late today as it is the MahaShivratri festival today.

Hello everyone, This is what I meant when I said that I will be posting some announcements regarding The Masquerade. As you all know, *The Masquerade* is my debut novel and I am very very very nervous as I am excited for this project. I wrote it for 4 months and and edited it for 1 year. It saw all […]

Hello everyone, As promised, I’m here with another post on #FridayConnect… A day when I try my best to connect with people who write to me and try to connect with me. I love you all dearly. Whether or not, I’m able to reply to you on my other posts, emails, messages, or on other social media, but this one […]

Hey everyone, This post is just a random post in ‘my corner’… mainly because I was missing you guys 🙂 It has been long since I actually wrote a personal post which was not an update. Every time, when I felt like writing a post, some, or the other issue arose and it got delayed. Sometimes, I try to reply […]

Hello lovely people, Apologies for the delay… It has been an overwhelming time… I started reading the book all over again because I am really nervous and jittery… I hope I haven’t spoiled it 😀 Thank you for the response to the post for inviting beta-readers. There were total of 205 people (WHOA!!!!) who volunteered ( 148 here + 57 […]

As promised, I’m here with the first installment of the journey of how my first book  came into shape. It makes me emotional as this book – *The Masquerade* – is very special to me, very precious for several reasons – One, it is my first attempt in a genre that adds mystery and thriller elements to a love story. […]

Hello dear readers, It was long back, almost a year ago, when I had invited beta readers for The Masquerade – my debut novel. But then my book took multiple revisions, faced a lot of issues and after nearly 5 edits and deletions, it is now in shape of a novel. Meanwhile, my readers got married, had babies, joined colleges […]

Hello, my dear lovely friends, It feels so good to write to you after a long gap. The last 3 months have been the most difficult days of my life but I’m glad that I am able to deal with the situations in a better manner. Every dark day teaches you something… every tough time prepares you well for the […]

Hello people, I was supposed to update the next part of Tangles & Ties on Tuesday but couldn’t. Apologies. With so much happening in the country right now, I devoted all the time I had to serious reading and research to get my facts right from RELIABLE sources like – The Constitution/ CAAct originally published in the Gazette of India/United […]

Hello friends, I am extremely sorry. The last 3-4 days were too hectic as I had to finish a project by 30th Dec, ie today and submit it. I couldn’t upload the previous chapters of Tangles & Ties. I will begin to update them now. One more thing – I haven’t replied to the hundreds of messages in my inbox […]

Hey all, I’ve been missing MaNan, Tangles & Ties and writing fiction… and basically everything that makes me smile, including all of you… As I have said before that I will start updating from December 1st, 2019…this post is simply to add the countdown on page 1 of this blog… see it here – Click Here This will remind me every […]

Hello, my dear lovely people, I’m here coz I was missing all of you and this blog, and everything that makes me smile… including MaNan and my stories. I’m missing Tangles and Ties and Manasvi-Anshuman of Beyond Every Border… Fiction is the alternate world that gives me a chance to explore my own tangled thoughts and beliefs. It is that […]

Hello everyone, Wish you all a very Happy Diwali and a beautiful new year! Hope this festival was the brightest of all. I hope it was memorable and joyful for each one of you and your families.

Hello everyone, On August 22, I wrote a post here – ‘A Ray of Sunshine’ — It was about how things were not going well on my side. I was trying to find some ray of sunshine in people close to me. It has been two months since then and the rays of sunshine have only been dimming at my […]

It was a right that he had just given her. On him! She blinked her eyes twice, wondering what she had heard was true and how profound it was for her. She had always thought about him in gratitude. Everything and anything, she was thankful for in her life, she had credited it to him. During troubles, she remembered no […]

This is for Pixie Pari –  I read each and every comment of yours, LOVED them and wait for them. Never think that I am ignoring you or not replying to you. I DID!!! Soooo many times. You didn’t get the notification, I guess. To everyone else who comments on my updates and thinks that I don’t reply to them, […]

I apologise for making you wait for this story. Actually, I have always written one story at a time and I love to give back to back updates as the story stays in my mind and moves at a fast pace. I live in that story, mostly. But to switch between Tangles & Ties and Beyond Every Border is like […]

I have been adding – ‘Next Chapter Link’ with old updates as a lot of people were having issues in finding the chapters & reading the story in a flow. Now you can click on the link at the end of each chapter to read the ‘next chapter’ An old update got reposted in the morning while doing this. Apologies […]

Some people are facing issues regarding the older chapters of Tangles & Ties. When I checked it on my phone, even I couldn’t open as it said – ‘Page Not Found’ It happened because of high traffic on the blog and the increased number of posts which clog the space, or something like that, which I could understand only in […]

  Anshuman had been looking away from the camp, towards the dry terrains, focused far away on the infinity, on the darkening sky welcoming the knock of the dusk, and the setting sun leaving subtle hues of several layers of grey and black merging with the blue, almost overshadowing it. Struggling with the gush of emotions rustling inside his chest, […]

Anshuman had his eyes fixed outside the window of the cab. Kabul was like India. Four wheelers of all brands and makes, from most expensive high-end cars to the most ancient, vintage ones. The two-wheelers with drivers without a helmet, the disregard for traffic lights and the highly congested, snailing traffic reminded him of India. The highway towards Jalalabad and […]

I have NO WORDS to thank all of you who read this story and tell me about it in some way or another. Your comments, messages, emails, DMs are precious. I may not be able to reply to all but my gratitude and heartfelt wishes are always with you! Stay blessed. Stay happy. Keep smiling. Love you! ……………………………….. I’ve made […]

    “You have no idea what a terrifying moment looks like!” Manasvi remarked. Krish smiled slightly while switching his phone on. Then he said, “Actually, I have!” “Err…?” Manasvi knew that she had spoken what she should not have spoken. Krish continued, “As a journalist, I have been a witness to unimaginable tragedies. I’ve covered Assam and Kashmir in […]

Manasvi was at the T3 terminal of Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi, with a Provisional entry permit to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan based on her application of being an Afghan resident and torn outdated hand-written passport. She knew no one with a Tazkira and now the only way to get a Tazkira made for herself was to go […]

( Old post : Just the name changed )   Hello friends, Due to unavoidable circumstances, my trip was canceled and I couldn’t go on my already unplanned vacation decided at the spur of the moment. Certain things happen and we can’t help it. Life is such! Initially, it pinched. But then, we decided that since we were already on […]

    Dear Friends, I’m going out for an impromptu holiday! Hence, taking a break from posting updates for a few days. I will not be available on social media too. Kindly do not worry, if you don’t get replies to your DMs/ messages/ or mails. I will be back on 30/06/2019… Next update of both Tangles & Ties and […]

  Mortified at being cornered so easily, and grateful for her promise that she was with him in this pursuit, Anshuman sheepishly rolled his eyes, pressed his lips, and turned to look around at the road. Then, he slightly huffed, “I’m sorry!” “It’s okay!” Softly she murmured and grinned as that subtle gesture from him was adorable. Her assessment of […]

{Thank you so much for the love and support to this story! It means so so so much to me. Love you all… Take care } ……………………………………….. After finishing the packing, Manasvi changed into a sage-green georgette, chikankari dress suit with a palazzo embroidered with mirror-work and lace dupatta with intricate lacework and threadwork. She felt heavy at heart while […]

“Yes! The SDF rescued us in Syria. After this short break, I’m commissioned to Israel.” Manasvi couldn’t move after accidentally overhearing this one sentence. As if a thick coat of fresh wet cement glued her feet to the terrace floor. Her heart was beating hard… so hard that it threatened to leap out of her throat. She chewed a part […]

Hello Everyone, It sounds funny now, as I write it. This plagiarism thing is happening at such a frequent basis that every few days, I find myself writing notes more than the updates – One note about how this stupid thing happened, followed by another note saying – “Thank you for your love and support. It means a lot to […]

Dear Reader, I won’t call you a writer as someone who can’t think of an original Book Title or New Character names for people she claims to love… CANNOT BE A WRITER!!! You follow me, read my work and have commented on my books. You clearly know of how much mental agony I went through when dealing with plagiarism not […]

{ Apologies for keeping you waiting. I had too much on my plate in last two days so I got tired. I will post a proper schedule of posting updates tomorrow. Thank you to all those who are reading my stories. It means the world to me…  A big hug for those who are liking and leaving comments. Sorry, I […]

August 2017 New Delhi, India. Preksha tried several different western outfits to be taken on honeymoon with Varun. She had ordered a few dresses online and bought a few from GK 2 last night. Most of the tops and shorts were so trendy that her face lit up when she tried them and came out of the washroom. Manasvi gave […]

Thank you for the tremendous response to this blog and my stories. It means the world to me. I have nothing but gratitude for all the love and support I have received from my readers. I hope I keep writing without any hindrance, now that I have a place of my own 🙂 I want to do something for you, […]

Thank you for the tremendous response to this story. I was skeptical before writing it as I wasn’t sure if it would be accepted. It is pretty intense and dark themed. I am overwhelmed at the love and support from you just the same way as you accepted and loved my previous stories.  Thank you! Love you all so much… […]

Why a new story?? — Because I am a writer, and an artist and have moods… hahaha!! Because this story has been nagging me strongly since few months… and vaguely since few years… I cannot ‘not write’ it… Also… whenever I write a light story, I crave to write an intense one… and when I am writing an intense one, […]

Hey there, I thought I will be able to manage so didn’t inform before but I’m just too stuck up as I’m shifting my home… too much work… Will update tonight… 💖💖💖

Hey there everyone, This is something very important. Some people said that when they tried to create a WordPress account… they were asked to pay a fee. It’s extremely shocking for me and I have been telling people from day 1 that you are NOT supposed to pay even a dime. It will be a major let down for me, […]
