    The Unseen Hour

    September 9, 2025 - By 

    Rohan A. Desai Part One – The Arrival The city was still damp from the evening rain when Maya stepped out of the cab. The streets glistened with neon reflections, every puddle a trembling mirror that caught fragments of shop lights, passing headlights, and the restless pulse of Friday night. She adjusted the strap of her bag and drew her coat closer around her body, though the air wasn’t cold so much as alive with moisture. She could feel it clinging to her skin, making her aware of herself in a way that was both uncomfortable and strangely awakening. The…

    The Wedding Guest

    September 7, 2025 - By 

    Sabyasachi Pal I The late afternoon sun dipped into the smoky Kolkata skyline as Ananya Roy’s cab crawled through the labyrinth of traffic, the air thick with the blaring of horns, the chatter of street vendors, and the aroma of frying samosas. It had been nearly fifteen years since she had last visited the city of her birth, and yet as she peered out the window, the familiar chaos carried a pulse that tugged somewhere deep inside her chest. The sari-clad women balancing baskets of flowers, the tram bells clanging faintly in the distance, the lingering scent of incense at…

    When the Night Spoke Our Names

    September 2, 2025 - By 

    Elena Das Episode 1 — The First Glance The resort stood at the edge of the sea like a secret, white walls catching the late afternoon sun, palm trees bending as if whispering to the tide. Rhea adjusted her dupatta over her navy-blue kurta as she stepped out of the shuttle van, her colleagues already scattering toward the reception desk with the restless excitement of a three-day corporate retreat. She wasn’t sure what she felt—perhaps weariness from the long drive from Mumbai, perhaps a dull ache of detachment she had carried for years in her marriage to Kabir, who hadn’t…

    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…

    The Howrah Bridge Promise

    September 1, 2025 - By 

    Anwesha Roy Chapter 1 – When the Lights Went Out The night air of Kolkata was heavy with humidity, a restless monsoon evening when the clouds hung low over the city and the streets carried the smell of wet tram tracks, diesel, and frying telebhaja from small roadside stalls. Riddhi walked briskly, her umbrella folded and damp at her side, a canvas tote bag stuffed with manuscripts brushing her hip at each step. She had spent the entire afternoon at College Street, haggling with secondhand sellers for rare copies of novels long out of print, and then at her publishing…

    घाटों पर लिखी मोहब्बत

    September 1, 2025 - By 

    प्रियांशु त्रिवेदी भाग 1 : पहली मुलाक़ात वाराणसी की संकरी गलियाँ हमेशा से एक रहस्य समेटे रहती हैं—कभी पान की लाली से सजी हंसी, तो कभी मंदिर की घंटियों में घुली प्रार्थना। सूरज जैसे ही गंगा के ऊपर लालिमा फैलाता, घाट की सीढ़ियाँ जीवन से भर जातीं। ठीक ऐसे ही एक सुबह, दशाश्वमेध घाट पर गंगा आरती की तैयारी हो रही थी। भीड़ जमा हो चुकी थी, पुजारियों के मंत्रोच्चार वातावरण में घुल रहे थे, और हवा में अगरबत्ती का धुआँ लहराते हुए अतीत और वर्तमान को जोड़ रहा था। इसी भीड़ में थी आर्या—सफेद सूती सलवार में, हाथ में…

    Unspoken Rooms

    August 28, 2025 - By 

    Elena Roy Episode 1 – The First Glance The rain had come down hard in the afternoon and left Park Street glistening like a polished mirror under the late sun. Rhea walked quickly, her sandals tapping against the damp pavement, the faint scent of wet earth and fried snacks from roadside stalls curling into the air. She had not planned to stop anywhere, but as she passed the corner café with its green awning dripping with raindrops, she slowed. She had been there a handful of times in her college years, when life was simpler and her evenings less scripted…

    The Silent Bells of Goa

    August 27, 2025 - By 

    Aarav D’Souza Part 1 – The Drummer’s Son The monsoon had begun to soften the air of Goa, the heavy rains washing the red earth until it gleamed like polished stone. Coconut palms bent with the weight of wind and rain, and the Mandovi River ran fuller than before, carrying with it the murmurs of villages and the silence of temples that had once echoed with songs. In one such village, hidden away among groves of jackfruit trees, a boy named Ananta sat with his father’s old drum resting on his knees. The drum was no longer played in public.…

    The Waiting Shore

    August 26, 2025 - By 

    Aarav Mehta The rain had already begun its ritual when Aarav stepped out of the rickety taxi, his leather bag soaked on one side, his shirt clinging to his back as if Goa itself had wrapped its humid arms around him. It was not the Goa he remembered from his childhood vacations—the postcard beaches, the neon lights of shacks, the loud laughter of tourists spilling beer into the sand. This was an older Goa, a quieter stretch where the sea met the land in whispers rather than shouts, where the narrow roads curled around forgotten Portuguese villas with cracked shutters…

    The Window Between Us

    August 25, 2025 - By 

    Elina Ray Part One – The First Glance Anaya had never thought much about the way the late afternoon light struck the tall glass windows of her office building. She had been working here for nearly seven years, and the reflections had become part of the background noise of her days—the sun falling at angles, the mirrored glow of another tower staring back at her, the distant silhouettes of people she did not know framed in their own cubicles across the street. The city moved like a restless animal outside, traffic humming below, horns breaking against the hush of the…
