I wrote this short story in 2015. It is a busy day and you enter. I sit quietly on the rack along with the others. My eyes pop up as soon as I see you. Even the others show the same reaction.

She was speaking with her lover, Gautham, or… Continue reading You’re My Mobilentine – A Quirky Romance Short Story
I love good romance movies that treat both leads equally and give them as much screen space as possible. Usually, Indian romantic movies are replete with misogynistic dialogue, casual patriarchy, and problematic themes, but the scenario is changing these days. But you’ll be surprised to read that the first movie which I am recommending is… Continue reading #BlogchatterBlogHop – 3 Regional Romance Movies That Everyone Should Watch On This Valentine’s Day
