Tenet

PREVAILS

"Life was never meant to be a fairytale, but still we chose to believe that ours would have a happy ending." Honest, straightforward, pretty and a hell of a temper, that was Gauhar Siddique. Passionate about serving the right cause and ensuring that nobody could defile the pure tenets of justice. She was a warrior of the law, and you were in deep trouble if you ever found yourself on the wrong side of her fist. Little does she know that trouble was brewing within the paradise her father has worked hard to build. "A little bit of deceit in the grand scheme of things never hurt anyone, especially if it were to uphold the shaky pillars of Justice." Charming, kind, friendly and handsome a deadly combination that would lure even the best in. Altamash Ahmed Quadri was a spider who's expert manipulation wove you right into his web. And once you were in, you could never escape. That was how Youngest Director of the Fairfax and Co Solicitors worked. How would these two opposites clash when Altamash forces Gauhar to marry him? There would be sparks and fireworks for sure. But why did Altamash force her to marry him? And most importantly, could these opposites ever fall in love? ••••••••••• "It's not him, it cannot be him!" I could feel the tears stinging my eyes, but his face stayed resolute. As he slowly walked towards me, I stepped away. I couldn't let him smash everything I'd known to the ground, to wreck havoc to every notion I had held as true. As the back of my head hit the wall behind me, I sucked in a breath. The sight of the animalistic smirk on his face scared me, he looked like he had won. Like I was exactly where he wanted me to be. Pushing his hands in his pockets he approached me, and stopped only when there was a hairsbreadth between us. I could feel the warmth of his breath fan my forehead. And I couldn't breathe. Leaning in his lips ghosted against the sensitive skin of my earlobe, "Deception my love." His voice was a smooth whisper against me, as warm as the blazing fire in his eyes and as smooth as the honey that reminded me of the colour of them. My pulse hammered erratically on my throat and he noticed, because he chuckled softly, "it's not easy to act in a way that is against what you actually feel Gauhar. He had you fooled, just like i have your body fooled into thinking that I am going to ravish you." "That's false." I bit out through grit teeth, my voice a vehement hiss. He placed an arm beside my head, caging me in and looking straight into my eyes, his own were dark the amber of orbs almost eclipsed. "It's not false and you know it, let's not deceive ourselves darling." Leaning in he inhaled a deep breath, "our bodies currently believe that we like eachother, when that's as far away from reality as could be." He abruptly stepped away, "it was all an illusion the same way Gauhar, he had spun a lie around you. Just like I had spun one around us." ••••••••• PS: The beginning of this book is super slow, because you guys gotta get acquainted with the characters, but I promise it'll get Interesting as the story moves on. And be warned this is a slow burn novel so if your expecting instant fireworks and sparks...this is not the book for you. But if you like to feel pain and emotions (masochistic?) and bit of solving cases of law, I'm sure you'll enjoy it. P.PS: The book is written in the POV of the four protagonists Anyways, you should go read the book cuz that's obviously what your here for. Happy Reading!

Dharma (Ik)

“Even God does not play dice with the Universe,” famously proclaimed by Albert Einstein, is one tenet, amongst others in the scientific and philosophical realm, that gets tested in the trilogy, Dharma (spoiler alert: he does - literally!). This fantasy work, aimed at teen/young adult readers, is loosely rooted in the Kurukshetera War, fought over the throne of Hastinapura, between the Kauravas and their cousins, the Pandavas in the Sanskrit epic, The Mahabharata. Both sides of the conflict believed themselves the rightful heirs to the throne (with plausible justification on either side) and their allies include kings, legendary heroes, and gods. Dharma, which roughly translates to “duty,” takes place at the Davinci Institute for Nurturing & Education (DVINE), a school for the gifted located on an idyllic Pacific island, The story closely follows the socially awkward and academically brilliant teen protagonist, EHLANA LALITA BARR, who is a female reincarnation of tragic, legendary Mahabharata hero Karna. Throughout the three books, told mainly from Ehlana’s perspective, she grows and gains awareness of her own past incarnation as well as some of the key individuals from the Kurushetra War who have also been reincarnated along with her. These others are influenced by their previous incarnations, though all come to realize and may choose their own fates to some extent, if they have the courage. Ultimately it becomes clear that Ehlana has the power to save the world, if she so chooses – the price though, is her life. While key players in the Mahabharata appear in this story, it’s not necessary for the reader to have an understanding of Indian mythology to enjoy it and understand the sequence of events, in the way that it is not necessary to have read Ulysses to enjoy Mr. Joyce’s Dubliners.

NIRVANA: Rebirth from the ashes

August 2015 marked the genesis of an event that would forever redefine the contours of our existence—the Elder Tree Disaster. It was a cataclysmic eruption, an unfathomable upheaval that ruptured the very fabric of our planet, reshaping its form and fracturing its essence. If the Earth had a semblance of stability, it would have shattered like glass under the weight of this unfathomable force. The explosion ripped through the seven continents, leaving devastation in its wake as if the gods themselves had wielded their wrath upon us. In its aftermath, a surreal phenomenon unfolded, akin to the tectonic plates of the Earth converging in a macabre dance of destruction. Mother Nature, in her stoic resilience, refused to surrender entirely, coaxing the remnants of land to converge into three main continents, divided by vast expanses of water. Amidst the chaos and carnage, a power struggle emerged—a ruthless battle for dominance in this new world order. Organizations vied for supremacy, fueled by the insatiable hunger for control and conquest. Blood was spilled, lives were lost, and the annals of history bore witness to the rise and fall of countless empires. In the wake of this apocalyptic maelstrom, three factions ascended as the de facto rulers of this fractured world, each staking claim to a portion of the ravaged land. The Luminae Dominion, steeped in the tenets of religious fervor, wielded authority over its devoted followers with the divine mandate of the Solar Sovereigns. Their rule was a fusion of spirituality and monarchy, marked by majestic temples and sacred rituals that imbued their reign with divine legitimacy. Contrastingly, the Techno Syndicate emerged as a bastion of technological prowess, a formidable alliance of corporations and innovators driven by the relentless pursuit of progress. Led by the visionary Silicon Overseers, they harnessed the power of cutting-edge technology to assert their dominance, shaping the future according to their singular vision of innovation and economic supremacy. Yet, amidst the clash of religious zeal and technological advancement, the Unity Collective stood as a beacon of hope—a diverse coalition united by a common purpose: peace and cooperation. Governed by the sagacious Unity Elders, they championed inclusivity and diplomacy, seeking to rebuild society from the ruins of the past with a steadfast commitment to harmony and prosperity for all. But beneath the veneer of stability and progress, a shadow lurked—a malevolent force that sought to exploit the fractures in this fragile new world. Dark hands moved in the shadows, their motives shrouded in secrecy as they schemed to plunge humanity once more into the abyss of darkness and despair. Yet, unbeknownst to three Great Factions, the seeds of resistance had already been sown, and the battle for the soul of our world had only just begun. Or so they thought...
