The story Dev never told you

Paperback / Hardback

A story of love, fate and the price of loving someone

Perhaps fate didn’t allow it then, but Dev never stopped believing that it meant something.

Now, his new life awaits: the corporate job of every MBA’s dreams, with a salary to match.
But some things still follow him: a name never deleted, a number never blocked.
And fifteen months of learning to live, without ever really being able to let go.

When six words from her appear on his screen,
I wish we could meet again’
Everything he worked so hard to bury comes back.

But love, in the real world, is very different from love in college. Dev’s story didn’t end with Tanishka asking to be strangers again.

This is the rest of their story, told in the words he was never able to tell her

Shrijeet Shandilya

Shrijeet Shandilya is a writer who discovers stories in the smallest moments: lingering discussions, spoken silences, and memories that refuse to fade. He finished his undergraduate studies at Christ University and is now pursuing his MBA at Goa Institute of Management. Somewhere between surviving deadlines and making sense of life, he discovered his love for writing. His writing incorporates comedy, nostalgia, and passion, portraying the bittersweetness of growing up, moving on, and everything in between. His debut novel, Can We Be Strangers Again?, is a reflection of these emotions—of love, loss, and the spaces in between them. You may reach him via email at shrijeet104@gmail.com.
