Loving someone is easy. But keeping them forever? That’s tough.
Vikrant Vayu is just another middle-class guy navigating college life in Delhi till one drunken night, when a dare from his friends changes everything. The challenge is to slide into the DMs of Tara Neer, the college’s reigning Instagram queen with an aesthetic feed and a vibe that screams ‘out of league’.
He’s not expecting anything. But Tara, intrigued by his charm and wit, starts chatting with him. What follows is an unexpected friendship that grows into something real. From cozy campus walks to viral couple reels and late-night chai dates, Vikrant and Tara fall in love.
For a while, it feels perfect. So perfect, they decide to get engaged. Families meet. Rings are discussed. Future feels real.
But love in the age of Instagram comes with receipts. And insecurities don’t disappear just because you say, ‘I trust you.’ Enter the red flags, the toxic patterns and online drama. And when those red flags start waving too loud, you’re forced to ask the question no couple wants to answer: Are we fighting for love—or just fighting?
Days With My Red-Flag Girlfriend is a raw, unfiltered story about modern love—the kind that’s messy, real and impossible to forget.
Hi, I’m Sitara, and just for the record: I am this close to having it all figured out.
Here’s where I am: 29, lawyer in a dead-end job, hopelessly in love with my colleague Nikhil (who sees me as a plus-one, not the one), and swimming in ideas to dig myself out of this hole—open a bakery, write that fantasy novel, start an upcycling business—without much follow-through.
Instead, I go to work every day. Like a normal, well-adjusted person.
I’m fine. Everything is fine.
And then there’s Samar. Sworn enemy, permanent headache, and charming to a fault. Annoyingly, inexplicably always around Samar, who took one look at my carefully managed life and decided it was his problem to fix. But now I can’t stop wondering if he’s onto something.
I’ve spent my whole life waiting to be chosen. But as it turns out, the only person who hasn’t taken a chance on me…is me.
Sitara is so close to having it all figured out.
At 29, she’s a lawyer with a career that’s going nowhere and a love life that’s nothing short of a nightmare. Worse, she’s slowly becoming her colleague Nikhil’s ‘uncommitted’ plus-one—all while being spectacularly, hopelessly in love with him.
It’s fine. She’s fine. This is all completely normal.
Of course, Sitara has options: she could open her bakery or write that novel she’s been penning in her head for years, or finally turn her upcycling hobby into something that could make her truly happy—and pay the bills. Instead, she goes to work.
And then there’s Samar. Her sworn enemy. The headache that just won’t go away. The man, who has decided to take Sitara on as his personal project. He’s infuriating, charming and somehow lately, always around her.
As Sitara’s constant run ins with Samar threaten the carefully curated stability Sitara keeps close to her chest, she begins to wonder if she really is wasting her life.
With her feelings in disarray, Sitara has a choice to make—keep waiting to be chosen, or finally choose herself.

Kalidasa is the greatest poet and playwright in classical Sanskrit literature and one of the greatest in world literature. Kalidasa is said to have lived and composed his work at the close of the first millennium BC though his dates have not been conclusively established. In all, seven of his works have survived: three plays, three long poems and an incomplete epic. Of these, this volume offers, in a brilliant new translation, his two most famous works-the play Sakuntala, a beautiful blend of romance and fairy tale with elements of comedy; and Meghadutam (The Cloud Messenger), the many-layered poem of longing and separation. Also included is Rtusamharam (The Gathering of the Seasons), a much-neglected poem that celebrates the fulfillment of love and deserves to be known better. Taken together, these works provide a window to the remarkable world and work of a poet of whom it was said: ‘Once, when poets were counted, Kalidasa occupied the little finger; the ring finger remains unnamed true to its name; for his second has not been found.’
Once a year, the Mumbai Marathon passes by Silverline Apartments.
This year, seven more women are racing to the finish.
Set in the heart of the city, Mumbai Marathon follows the complicated lives of seven women. An actress who will risk everything for a billboard. A psychiatrist who cannot outrun her own past. A maid who sells her grief to survive. A widow who mourns strangers. A socialite left behind by the spotlight. A woman who learns that motherhood can arrive without birth. And a rich girl who wants to matter.
Each stands between what was and what comes next, stumbling forward without spectacle or applause. Because for women, stopping is not an option.
Aarambhh M Singh’s Mumbai Marathon is a finely observed novel about identity, ambition, and desire. It is not a story of victory, but of motion—of lives lived in the long, ordinary middle. A quiet, compelling read that stays with you long after the pages stop turning.
