My Books
Medhavi believed that cooking is an overrated, unnecessary skill that has been unfairly forced upon women.
Akash is struggling to manage his married life with Medhavi, without upsetting his mother. Medhavi is trying to find her.
Women have been fooled by fairy tales and Bollywood for a very long time. It is time to rewrite the stories.
Ramya and Atul seem like a couple next door with an adorable son. Their life goes on normally until one day.
A grieving husband. A young lawyer searching for love. A simple woman tending to her ailing father.
