About the book These stories are not autobiographical. They are not entirely fictional, either. Like most stories worth reading, they live somewhere in between. They were written by eight people who paid close attention to the world and then made things up in the gaps. The emotions are real. The places are real. The specific sequences of events and the named characters… those are ours alone, invented or transformed beyond recognition in the way that all writing eventually transforms its sources. Each writer here came to this collection with a different question burning in their chest. Some of us wanted to understand grief. Some of us wanted to understand ambition, or cowardice, or the strange mathematics of belonging somewhere. Some of us just wanted to tell a story that had been sitting with us for too long, taking up space. We did not set out to write for a particular kind of reader. We wrote for whoever might need what we were making… and trusted that such a person existed. If you are reading this, it seems that trust was not misplaced. A note on the title: it is a provocation, not a verdict. None of us believes our stories are bad. We believe the word “bad” has been used for too long to keep certain kinds of honesty out of certain kinds of rooms. We are reclaiming it the way you reclaim any word that has been used against you… by stepping inside it and refusing to flinch. Read in any order. Come back to whatever unsettles you. We will be here. — Dweep, Agam, Aarya, Shirin, Sujaag, Kuber, Arzoo & Maulik

About the Book: Between Winter and Spring is a collection of poems about longing, heartbreak, self-discovery, healing, and hope. The collection follows the emotional journey from searching for love and belonging, through the coldness of loss and loneliness, toward healing, self-discovery, and eventually hope. Some poems were written within minutes, while others took days or even longer to take shape. Together, they preserve different moments from a journey that was never originally meant to become a book. The title reflects the central idea of the collection: even the harshest winter eventually gives way to spring. Darkness and pain may feel endless while we are living through them, but they do not have to be the end of the story. The book is ultimately a reminder that healing takes time, that we are not alone in our struggles, and that there is always a possibility of warmth and renewal beyond the coldest seasons of life. About the Author: Kishankumar Patel is a writer and poet who began writing during his high-school years, initially in Hindi and Gujarati before gradually finding his voice in English. Writing became a way for him to understand and express emotions that were often difficult to put into words. His poetry explores love, loss, longing, self-doubt, healing, friendship, and the quiet journey of finding oneself again. He writes under the name Solune, a name inspired by the Sun and the Moon—symbols of light and darkness existing together, much like the contrasting emotions that shape our lives. Between Winter and Spring is his first poetry collection.

About the Book
SOME DESIRES CONSUME. SOME SECRETS DESTROY. AND SOME LINES ARE NEVER MEANT TO BE CROSSED. Kavya Seth wore her pain like a second skin, stitched into the fabric of her being, inseparable and suffocating. A brilliant hut broken artist in her own seductive chaos, flees to Bangalore, desperate to bury the shards of her haunted past. But in the city's relentless rhythm, she plunges deeper into a treacherous world of forbidden desires, numbing substances, and dangerously obsessive encounters. Her art becomes her only lifeline a canvas where reality blurs with fantasy, and sanity dangles by a fragile thread. The shadows she tries to escape are closing in. Mysterious notes. Unsettling whispers. A stranger who seems to know her every move. The line between paranoia and reality begins to dissolve, and with it, her grip on her own mind. When Sahil Pradhan enters her life, everything ignites, His touch is fire, his gaze, a slow, erotic burn, his intensity awakens parts of her she thought were long dead. But beneath his charm lies a darkness that mirrors her own-a predator or a saviour, a lover or a destroyer. As Kavya spirals into a fever dream, passion, obsession, and terror, the boundaries of pleasure and pain, desire and fear blur into something she can no longer control. Dare to enter the darkness. But beware - it might never let you go, or worse - the pain becomes your only pleasure.
