    When the Night Spoke Our Names

    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…

    Unspoken Rooms

    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 Infinite Playlist of Ruhi Sen

    Aanya Deshpande Part 1 – Rooftop Strings The city was heavy with heat that night, even though the monsoon had broken weeks ago. Ruhi Sen pushed open the creaky terrace door of their old two-storied house in Ballygunge, her guitar clutched tightly against her chest. Downstairs, her father’s voice still echoed from dinner, rising above the clatter of utensils: “Focus, Ruhi. No more distractions. IIT is not a joke.” Her mother had nodded in silent agreement. But here, on the rooftop, she was free. The sky hung low, thick with stars blurred by smog, and the distant hum of traffic…

    The Window Between Us

    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…

    Velvet Nights

    Serene Kapoor Part 1 — The Invitation The city was still shimmering with the restless energy of twilight when Maya closed her laptop. The amber glow of streetlights was slipping into her apartment, mingling with the fragrance of sandalwood she had lit earlier. She leaned back in her chair, her body aching from the day, but her mind was alive with something else entirely—a message that had arrived just hours ago. The envelope had been thick, the kind that demanded attention. Inside was a cream-colored card embossed with an unfamiliar crest, edges gilded like something from another century. The handwriting—sleek,…

    Between Two Flames

    Selena Arora The rain had been falling all afternoon, soaking the city into a muted gray. Through the wide glass windows of the café, Ananya watched the drops streak down in endless lines, blurring the streetlights into ribbons of amber. She stirred her coffee slowly, not because it needed stirring but because her hands needed something to do. Her wedding ring caught the glow of the lamp above, a delicate reminder of promises once made with fire in her chest, promises now grown pale with repetition. It was on afternoons like this that loneliness pressed the hardest, despite the fact…

    রক্তগোলাপের গন্ধ

    নিলয় সেন পর্ব ১ রুদ্রর চোখে ঘুম নেই। জানলার ফাঁক গলে ঢুকে পড়া মধ্যরাতের নিঃশব্দ হাওয়ায় বুকের ভেতরটা যেন হালকা হালকা ব্যথা করছে। ঘরের অন্ধকারে হঠাৎ চাদরের ভাঁজে শাড়ির পাড় উঁকি দেয়। দেয়ালের ছায়ার মতোই এখনো রয়ে গেছে অনন্যার উপস্থিতি—তার গন্ধ, তার শরীরের ঘাম, চুলের ভেজা ছোঁয়া। এই কক্ষ, এই বিছানা, এমনকি বাতাসও যেন অনন্যায় মাখা। অথচ সে নেই। চলে গেছে কিছুক্ষণের মধ্যেই, যেমনটা সে সবসময় করে। শরীর দেয়, কিন্তু নিজেকে নয়। আর রুদ্র? সে সব জেনে বুঝে তবু বারবার জড়িয়ে ধরে তাকে, যেন আগুনকে ঠোঁটে ছুঁয়ে রাখা যায়। আজ দুপুরে হঠাৎ করেই এসেছিল অনন্যা। দরজায় কোনো শব্দ না করে…
