It was simply three days that he had asked for them to spend together without whining and complaining about being separated. She didn’t even think twice before she agreed. She would have done anything for him. And it was just […]

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.

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 […]

“Those three lines on your forehead, that fake smile, that twitch of your lip and this tub of ice-cream in the morning, instead of coffee – all this is not you, Nandu. These are the traits of that disturbed side of Nandini who sometimes takes over my girl!” Nandini didn’t know what to say to this. The way he had […]

After a long time, Manik and Nandini were together for the entire day. Without any stress of work. Without the rush of following the ticking clock. Without the pressure of deadlines or hurrying to the office. It was nothing less than the bliss of fresh air. Nandini helped Manik with everything that he needed. From little things to big. From […]

Thank you for all the lovely comments and messages after the last part. I am always indebted to you for being there, reading what I write, waiting when I am busy, and patiently reading every twist and turn that I add. One can never be grateful enough.

The […]

Love to all of you!!  …………………………………….   Nandini looked at them, cluelessly and waited for someone to introduce them. She didn’t say anything, so the […]

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 […]

Love you all…. always remember!!! I have the sweetest bunch of readers! *Short & Quick Update* ………………………. She grinned and giggled for the first time in so many days – “Shut up! You already know that I’ll choose you!” He couldn’t stop grinning at the way she said that. Also, she was grinning after so many days. She was bliss […]

I know each and every one of you. If you have ever left a comment here, or at Wattpad, or mailed, or messaged me at any place – remember that I cherish our interaction and you are special to me. I’m saying this because these days I am not able to reply to the comments. My kids have exams this […]

First of all, I apologize for posting so late. I was stuck in a lot of things and didn’t get time to write. But I wanted to write it, so I started writing late… School exams, clinic, some minor things are keeping me busy… I’ll be free soon, hopefully 🙂 Thank you for all the love and support… means a […]

Apologies – for not replying to each one of you( I try my best to keep up but I keep missing some of you)… – for not reading when you forward me your books (I can’t, I’m loaded with work, and writing and publishing-related stuff but […]

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. […]

Thank you for reading this story and leaving your valuable comments. I feel privileged to have you all beside me. I try my best to reply to messages, DMs, inboxes and other ways where you reach out to me. But last few months were very tough on me. So, I don’t even remember who I replied and who I missed. […]

Thank you for your responses and beautiful comments on the last part. I’m always overwhelmed and speechless. May God bless you all… Now something important – A lot of you tell me that they have exams in coming 2-3 months, esp. the people writing Boards, NEET, JEE, CLAT, CAT entrances. Wish you all the best.

It’s the last day of 2019 and I can’t help but reflect on the year that passed by… Whatever happened, good and bad, that includes this blog too… We are all fine as long as we know how to find ourselves back through the chaos. I thank each one of you for joining this blog, for having faith in me […]

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 everyone, I hope you are all doing well. Happy Sunday 🙂 ……………………………………………. “Now, Gaurvi has nothing to worry about her pregnancy and delivery. Nandini will take care of her. Right?” “Wrong! Nandini is NOT Gaurvi’s doctor,” Manik replied to her in strong words, before anyone else could speak a word. And added – “She is not THAT experienced!” ……………………………….. […]

Posting a small part today… I will update more tomorrow as it is Sunday and I am free ALL day after soooooo longggg!!! Anyway – Shorter and quicker updates suit me more…Let me know what suits you… I always ask this and always get different replies so I ask every time. These days, I am in a better space.   I […]

Manik woke up early the next day. The fact that he was alone, all night, on the couch in the living room didn’t let him sleep all night. It wasn’t like he was waiting for Nandini. He would have slept if he was alone in the house. They had decided this long back that they won’t wait for each other […]

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 […]

Sorry to keep you all waiting. And thank you for always being so kind to me. Readers maketh a story, I have always believed. Thanks for bringing this story to this far! Love you loads. ………………….   The family reached home late. They had dinner at a hotel after the shopping and then after having ice cream at a famous […]

I have replied to ALL comments on the last chapter of this story. This is the least that I can do for the overwhelming love and support I receive from you.  I am not able to reply to personal messages on Instagram, Twitter, Gmail or other places, unless urgent. If you see my social media activity, you will know that […]

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. It feels like a long time since we interacted with each other. Thank you so much for sending me messages after my last post. […]

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 […]

“I wasn’t judging you… ” “Oh yes!! You just did… My wife of 4 months just told me how she thinks that my entire life of 29 years was a lie.” Nandini was left speechless! His words. His stance. His clenched jaw, toughened face and darkened eyes spitting fire at her – Each gesture told her how upset he was. […]

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 […]

( 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 […]

Thank you for all the comments and likes on the last part. It means a lot to me. I’ve tried to reply to all, but if I have missed anyone, please do remind me. I would love to write to you! Stay blessed. Take care. ………………………………………… He grinned gloriously, “Forget that stupid game now!” “I need you to do that!!!” […]

Thank you for all the lovely responses to the last few parts of this story. I have read each and every comment and all messages… but I am not able to reply to you… I have been caught up in lot of other things, apart from my clinic, family and kids. I’m not active even on sns…except the DMs that […]

“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 […]

Thank you for reading my story. Thank you for the comments and likes too. It means a lot to me. Love you all. Apologies for posting late. It’s a long chapter… really long… :))) With lots of pictures…   They followed Nandini’s itinerary and took a bus to Zaanse Schans first. It was a village near Amsterdam famous for recreated […]

Overwhelmed with the response to the last chapter. I don’t have words to thank you. It seems easy to write chapters and updates, but I become uneasy and tongue-tied when people comment on those. I don’t know what to say – ‘So, thank you! Life is beautiful with you girls around me. Stay blessed. Stay happy. Lots of love.’ Wish […]

{ No words can suffice for expressing gratitude for the love my stories have received. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, for all your support. A really long update, double the size of usual updates. Happy Reading! } ……………………………………………     He gave her a warm squeeze before separating from her and softly murmured, “Hey! What happened? Why […]

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 […]

It was quite dark into the night. There was no sight of human habitation at a long distance. Tall trees lined the narrow deserted road till as far as eyes could see. The branches and leaves swaying due to the cool breeze made a swishing sound, chilling her blood till her bones. Other than these sounds, there were only night […]

Next Morning… The sunrays seeped inside the bedroom through fine creeks in the shutters at the tall windows along one wall. Manik was the first one to open his eyes. His body was yet to move as he couldn’t decide whether to move, at all… or forego the thought of it… Nandini had been sleeping blissfully on his left shoulder […]

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 […]

“But you smell so good!” “Why are we still smelling differently? Make me smell like you!” One word of assurance from her that he was smelling fine was enough to boost his confidence. It had been a tough call to get up from the living room and come inside to shower and change. Leaving her back there in the living […]

“Its not love!” Nandini scrolled through the websites that masi had sent the links to, with a subtle shrug and a whisper, convincing herself, ‘Of course, it is not love!’ She chose a blog where the Chef had used a lot of pictures to illustrate the simple steps for beginners to prepare quick healthy meals for working professionals. The recipes looked […]
