    The Second Monsoon

    October 3, 2025 - By 

    Rajat Kapur Part 1 – The Arrival The train had been late by two hours, monsoon clouds pressing down against the old glass windows of Ernakulam Junction, making everything smell of wet earth and fried banana chips. Aarav Mehta stepped out with his suitcase in one hand, briefcase in the other, shirt collar sticking slightly to his neck from the humidity he had not yet learned to tolerate. Delhi had its own brutal weather, but this was different, a heavy curtain of air that carried salt, rain, and something he could not name. He scanned the crowded platform, searching for…

    A Hundred Steps to You

    September 16, 2025 - By 

    Saanvi Roy Episode 1 – The Photograph The city was still shaking off the heat of late afternoon when Maya pushed her way through the crowded lanes of Chandni Chowk. Dust hung in the air like an invisible veil, clinging to her hair and the white kurta she had foolishly chosen to wear that morning. She stopped at the familiar tea stall near the booksellers, a place where she often came after long days at the architecture firm. The stall was old, its tin roof dented, its wooden counter stained with years of spilled chai, but she liked the chaos…

    Burning Shadows

    September 3, 2025 - By 

    Elena D’Souza Part 1 The rain had not stopped for two days, and the city seemed wrapped in a damp, secret rhythm. Meera stood by her apartment window, forehead pressed to the cool glass, watching rivulets slip down as if they carried away thoughts she could not name. She was thirty-two, successful enough in her work as an interior designer, with a reputation for bold palettes and modern textures, but lately her life felt like a corridor with closed doors. The phone rang with client demands, emails stacked up with deadlines, yet inside her body there was a thrum that…

    साया-ए-इश्क़

    September 1, 2025 - By 

    निखिल आनंद एपिसोड 1: पहली मुलाक़ात शाम ढल रही थी। शहर की सड़कों पर पीली बत्तियाँ जल चुकी थीं और हवा में नमी का हल्का-सा स्वाद था। किसी पुराने फ़िल्मी गीत की धुन पास के पानवाले की दुकान से छनकर आ रही थी। भीड़ के बीच भी कभी-कभी अकेलापन उतना ही गहरा लगता है जितना वीराने में। और उसी अकेलेपन में वह पहली बार दिखी—गुलाबी सलवार-कमीज़ में, एक हाथ में किताब थामे, दूसरे हाथ से साइकिल संभालती हुई। आदित्य उस वक़्त कॉलेज के बरामदे में खड़ा था। वह इतिहास का लेक्चर ख़त्म कर चुका था और दोस्तों के साथ बाहर…

    Across the Courtline

    June 27, 2025 - By 

    Rhea Dutt Part 1: The First Serve The first time Aarav saw Mira, she was smashing a shuttlecock across the net with such precision that it left her opponent frozen. It wasn’t love at first sight—not yet. It was something sharper. Intrigue. Aarav, the newly recruited assistant coach at St. Augustine Sports Academy, had arrived straight from the national training camp, carrying with him the calm confidence of someone who had nothing left to prove on the court. Mira, on the other hand, was fiery, competitive, and unapologetically ambitious. She didn’t notice him at first. Her focus was the tournament…

    When Power Meets Passion

    June 26, 2025 - By 

    Ashmita Khan Part 1: The Debate The air-conditioning inside the NDTV studio was just enough to keep nerves hidden under silk and suit fabric. Aarushi Singh adjusted the collar of her rust-red handloom kurta, her fingers lightly grazing the gold brooch that bore her father’s party symbol—two clasped hands in a rising sun. It wasn’t just decoration. It was legacy. Across from her sat Ishaan Rizvi, crisp in a blue blazer, his notes neatly stacked, untouched. He didn’t need them. He never did. His reputation as the Opposition’s silent strategist had made him a reluctant star of the night’s “Youth…

    Pink Saree and a Political Murder

    June 24, 2025 - By 

    Maya Sharma Part 1: The Last Rally in Pink The rain had stopped just minutes before the rally began. A pink haze lingered over the Kolkata skyline, smeared with leftover monsoon clouds and political slogans painted hastily across aging walls. Shanti Ghosh, dressed in her signature pink Banarasi saree with gold-threaded lotus motifs, stood on the makeshift bamboo stage at the heart of Ward 34. Her voice, usually mellow and diplomatic, now sliced through the damp air like a blade. “We are not just mothers and wives,” she said, her voice echoing across the crowd, “we are builders, protectors, and…

    ঋত্বিক চৌধুরী পর্ব ১ শিয়ালদহ স্টেশন থেকে যখন দেব বেরোলো, তখন সন্ধ্যা নেমে এসেছে। কলকাতার বাতাসে পুরনো ধুলো আর সাম্প্রতিক বৃষ্টি মিশে এক ধরনের অভিমানী গন্ধ ছড়াচ্ছে—যেটা সে খুব ভালো করে চিনত, আবার ভুলেও গিয়েছিল অনেকদিন। ট্যাক্সিতে বসে সে ফোন বের করে একটা ঠিকানা দেখে নিল—বালিগঞ্জ প্লেস। এই শহরে ফিরে আসার পেছনে কারণ একটা নয়, অনেকগুলো। কিন্তু সবকিছুর কেন্দ্রে আছে একজন—অনন্যা সরকার। দশ বছর আগের সেই ঝড়, যেটা তার জীবনটাকে তছনছ করে দিয়েছিল, সেটা আজও থেমে যায়নি। শুধুমাত্র রূপ পাল্টেছে। সেই বোর্ডিং স্কুল, সেই গেটের সামনে দাঁড়ানো কিশোর বয়সের দেব আজ আর নেই। এখন সে দেবরাজ মুখার্জী, ইনভেস্টমেন্ট ব্যাঙ্কার, নামী…

    Bleeding Blue

    Ayesha Rao Part 1: The First Dive The pool was colder than she had expected. Zoya Narang stood at the edge, staring into the shimmering blue, her toes curled against the tile. The whistle had already blown. Others had dived. But she hesitated. Not because she didn’t know how to swim—Zoya could glide like a whisper—but because this was the national camp, and those lanes held sharks in Speedos. A drop of water slid from her temple to her lips. Chlorine. Fear. And something more. “Jump, wild card.” The voice came from behind her—low, amused, and irritatingly familiar. Zoya didn’t…
