    Chai, Sweat & Secrets

    July 30, 2025 - By 

    Sanjana Kaul 1 The Bengaluru sun pierced through the glass walls of the co-working space like a daily ritual, washing the industrial-chic interiors in gold. Tanya Rao stood at the head of the long wooden conference table, sleeves rolled up, jaw tight, the glow of her smartwatch reflecting her rising heart rate. Another pitch meeting loomed, another investor to impress, and her team was scrambling to pull the demo together. Her co-founder, Rishi, had the audacity to be late—again. “Just wait, you’ll like him,” he had texted about the new UX designer joining today. Tanya didn’t care. She didn’t have…

    Biryani for Two

    July 24, 2025 - By 

    Pramit Dutta 1 The sun peeked through the jharokhas of the old Nawabi architecture as Zoya Rehman adjusted the camera angle for her vlog, the aromatic chaos of the Battle Biryani set behind her in full swing. “Good morning from Hyderabad, doston!” she chirped, her voice crisp, her tone animated. “I’m Zoya, and today I’ve entered a biryani battle that might just change my food blogging life!” She smiled into the lens, then clicked it off as a crew member yelled for participants to gather. Clutching her notebook, apron, and an oversized cloth pouch stuffed with secret ingredients, Zoya bounced…

    Fake Date, Real Disaster

    July 14, 2025 - By 

    Aarushi Sen Rivalry on Maple Street There were only two things Maya Verma loved more than cinnamon rolls: winning and watching Theo Fernandes lose. Which is why Monday morning began exactly the way she liked it—with Theo storming out of his café across the street, scowling at a batch of sunken muffins while Maya casually sipped her soy cappuccino on the patio of Sugar & Sage, her quaint vegan café with mismatched chairs and hanging ferns. “Morning, Theo,” she called sweetly, stirring her coffee like it held all her smugness. Theo glared at her. “Your oven’s probably powered by smugness.”…

    Set Point

    Saina Rathi 1 The red clay of Delhi Tennis Academy felt like home to Ananya Rai. Every morning, at exactly six-fifteen, she’d step onto Court Four, breathe in the warm scent of sunbaked dust, and begin her drills before the city’s traffic could find its voice. She lived for the thwack of the ball against her strings, for the rhythm of her shoes sliding into position, for the moment her serve arched into the perfect curve, sharp and fast. Today was no different—except for the buzz floating around the academy like static. She bounced the ball once, twice, and then…

    Married to My Enemy’s Son

    June 27, 2025 - By 

    Sanika Mehra Part 1 – The Truce Dress The first time I saw him, he was standing at the far end of the room like a statue carved out of contempt. Arjun Singh—my husband by decree, my enemy by blood—wore a black silk sherwani that looked like it had been stitched out of shadows. His eyes didn’t flicker when I walked in, dressed in bridal red and drenched in humiliation. He didn’t reach out, didn’t smile, didn’t nod. Just watched. As if he was trying to remember who I reminded him of. Maybe a girl in a firing range. Maybe…

    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…

    Rent a Boyfriend

    June 26, 2025 - By 

    Aisha Roy Plus-One Problems Tara Sen hated weddings. Not because she was bitter about love, not even because she couldn’t tolerate rasgullas anymore—she just couldn’t stand the interrogation squad that arrived with the haldi. Her mother’s sisters. Her father’s cousins. The “So-when-are-you-next-beta?” brigade. This time, it was her cousin Sia’s wedding in Jaipur. Three days. One palace hotel. Four aunties with sharp questions and sharper judgment. Tara had already survived two of these family extravaganzas this year, but her luck was running out. She had overheard her mother whispering to Mausi on speakerphone just last week, “This time I think…

    The Contract Girlfriend

    June 24, 2025 - By 

    Priyanka Ved Part 1 The hospital smelled like sterile cotton and silent prayers. Meera sat on the cold plastic chair, her hands tightly clasped, knuckles pale. Her brother Aarav’s breathing was the only rhythm keeping her grounded. Machines beeped steadily beside him, like they were mocking her helplessness. “Miss Meera Singh?” A voice snapped her back. She looked up to see a middle-aged man in a tailored black suit—sleek, expensive, and utterly out of place in the dull corridor of the government hospital. “Yes?” she asked, standing up, instinctively wary. “I’m Mr. Pradhan. I work for Mr. Veer Khanna.” His…

    Bleeding Blue

    June 24, 2025 - By 

    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…
