    September 21, 2025 - By 

    Srirupa Deka The story begins in the sprawling tea gardens of Assam, where the rolling hills are carpeted in green, and the morning sun often struggles to pierce through a shroud of heavy mist. For the laborers who spend their days plucking delicate tea leaves, the mist is more than just a veil of nature—it is the cloak of a tale whispered across generations.

By day,…

The air in Goa was thick with the scent of wet earth and salt, a combination that seemed to cleanse the dust and stress clinging to her from months of relentless deadlines. The usual din of Delhi—honking cars, shouting vendors, and the unending pulse of urgency—was replaced by a soft, hypnotic symphony of raindrops pattering on tin roofs and leaves trembling under the weight of water.

    Highway 44

    September 20, 2025 - By 

    Asit Rana Chapter 1 – The Disappearing Drivers The first whispers began as roadside gossip, exchanged over steaming cups of chai at dhabas dotting the endless stretch of National Highway 44. A driver from Punjab was said to have vanished in the dead of night, leaving behind a truck still humming on the shoulder of the road, headlights flooding an empty stretch of asphalt. Within days, another truck was found in similar fashion near Nagpur — its cabin door swinging in the wind, the driver nowhere in sight. Soon, the pattern became undeniable. Drivers who set out with their consignments…

    The Serpent Manuscript

    September 19, 2025 - By 

    Ethan Ray Episode 1: The Chamber Beneath the Library The storm over Florence had come without warning. Thunder rumbled across the Arno, rattling the glass panes of the Biblioteca Laurenziana as Professor Adrian Keller leaned over a spread of faded manuscripts. The medieval library, usually hushed in reverence, vibrated faintly with the sound of rain pounding against the roof tiles. The air smelled of ink, vellum, and age. Keller’s fingers, ink-stained from decades of work, trembled slightly as he turned the page of a sixteenth-century codex. He wasn’t supposed to be here alone. The library’s director had granted him a…

    Ria Mukherjee Episode 1: The First Beat of the Dhaak The city was already stirring with the rhythm of autumn. By late September, Kolkata had begun to smell different—air thick with the sweetness of shiuli blossoms, streets filling with bamboo scaffolds, and paints drying on vast clay structures that would soon transform into gods and goddesses.

    Arka Sen Episode 1: The River That Stopped Singing Once, there had been a sound. The elders of Sundarpur village used to say that the river had a voice—soft in the mornings, sharp in the afternoons, and almost like a lullaby at night. For generations, the people had measured time not by clocks but by the moods of the river. When its flow was full and forceful, the rice fields shone emerald green. When it slowed, the earth cracked, but never so much that hunger entered their homes. But in the present season, there was no sound at all. Only…
