A neatly color-coded, perfectly curated, bullet-journal-approved kind of plan. The kind of plan with checkboxes, motivational quotes scribbled in the margins, and an unhealthy number of post-its. She was going to become Mumbai’s best, boldest, badass lawyer, land a coveted job at the ridiculously prestigious BR Advocates — a firm so elite it practically air-kissed lesser mortals — and slowly take over the world, one perfectly argued case at a time. Shanaya wasn’t just ambitious. She was capital-A Ambitious. And maybe a little dramatic, excessively sarcastic, and allergic to bullshit. So naturally, when she nailed every single requirement BR Advocates asked for — top of her class? Check. Ruthless work ethic? Double check. A sharp tongue capable of verbally decimating anyone who doubted her? Triple, sparkly check — she figured the job was practically hers. Until the firm pulled a surprise. A New hiring rule: Only experienced, married applicants will be considered. Married? As in, spouse? Legal binding married? She blinked. Holy crap! And sure, Shanaya might have aggressively whispered ‘burn it all down’ under her breath in the middle of HR’s lobby. And yes, she might have chucked a high heel at her vision board. But desperation breeds creativity. And Shanaya Thakur? She was nothing if not dangerously creative when backed into a corner. Which is how the idea was born. Find a husband! Any husband! In two weeks. Which brings us to Yuvaan Grewal: Six-foot-something of maddening calm, devastating looks, and a talent for making tailored suits look illegal. President of Sauvé, one of India’s most successful product companies, Yuvaan is brilliant, emotionally detached, and permanently single — by choice. A choice his mother hates. After dodging fifty arranged proposals, eighty dates, and roughly a hundred aunties armed with lovely girls from nice families, Yuvaan’s perfected the art of politely refusing romance and staying unmarried. Until one scandal, a series of hilariously unfortunate coincidences, and one very desperate law graduate with excellent cheekbones land them both in a situation neither of them asked for: A fake marriage. It’s supposed to be simple. A business arrangement. A temporary fix. But with Shanaya’s sharp mouth, Yuvaan’s smoldering glares, and a growing list of almost-kisses they both pretend not to remember — things are about to get complicated. Because what happens when the one person you swear you can’t stand starts feeling alarmingly like home? And Love ? That was never part of the plan. But then again… when is it ever? _____________________ DISCLAIMER: The book contains mature content, so please read under the parental guidance.

A Thousand Pixels Apart

Synopsis: "A Thousand Pixes Apart" "A Thousand Pixes Apart" is a poignant journey through the digital connections that shape our real lives, and the bittersweet echoes of past relationships. We meet Jiya, a spirited 19-year-old whose virtual world is as vibrant as her real one is shadowed. In the quiet solitude of a hospital waiting room, a personal tragedy unfolds, leaving her reeling. Her escape comes in the form of a popular MMORPG, where she finds solace and laughter in the unlikely companionship of Vivan, a witty and loyal archer. Their in-game adventures are filled with humorous mishaps—Jiya's accidental healing of a "stressed" NPC yak becoming a running gag—and deep, unspoken affection, hinting at a connection that transcends pixels. Years pass, and life takes Jiya on a new trajectory. Now 25 and a burgeoning model, she's more confident and grounded, her gaming days seemingly behind her. A road trip to Manali with her friends Rajiv, Hemali, and Prasad is meant to be a fresh start, a journey toward new experiences. However, a sudden car breakdown on a remote mountain road brings an unexpected encounter. Rescued by two businessmen, Abhijeet and his silent partner, Vivan, Jiya finds herself in the same car with the man who once shared her pixelated dreams. As they travel, casual conversation slowly peels back layers of the past. Vivan, now a successful garage owner, shares his journey of overcoming adversity, unknowingly echoing sentiments and aspirations he once shared with Jiya in their online world. Subtle hints—Manali being a shared dream, Vivan's past as a gamer, and the unspoken recognition in his gaze—build a quiet tension. Jiya, initially oblivious, slowly begins to piece together the fragments of memory. The climax arrives when Vivan, prompted by Hemali, reveals his name, his eyes locking onto Jiya's. The realization hits her with a profound, aching force: the silent, composed man beside them is the Vivan of her past, the loyal gamer she unknowingly let slip away. Tears well up as she grapples with the weight of missed connection and forgotten intimacy. As Vivan's SUV drives away into the night, Jiya is left with the painful truth of what was lost, and the regret of not recognizing him sooner. The story concludes with Vivan's quiet confession to Abhijeet—that he saw Jiya's happiness, and that alone was "enough"—leaving a bittersweet impression of love, loss, and the silent strength of letting go.
