Once upon a time, men and women entered marriage with very clear policies regarding the division of labour: he would go to work and "bring home the bacon," while she would stay at home and cook, clean, and raise the children. Things aren't the same as they used to be. Modern Indian romance, intimacies, and marriages are far more complicated than assessments and reality television shows portray. In India, arranged marriages are an unique and complex process. People seek a 'soulmate' with whom they can spend the rest of their lives, but they also have specific expectations of the potential bride or groom. There is a strong narrative about finding love, compatibility, and connection, but what stands out is a real intent to replicate class identities beneath all of this. In a country that depends on a spending population, "middle class" is a necessary armour, a shared language, a value system, and, more importantly, a way of life. Life may be unjust, irritating, and disarmingly disappointing on most days. Being middle class, on the other hand, creates character in a culture obsessed with the need to be a part of the rat race. Marriage also places the onus of making sacrifices, concessions, and making the marriage work on the couple. This tale illuminates the unseen and underappreciated aspects of an Indian arranged marriage, the life of a middle-class wife and husband and their shared responsibilities as they navigate through life. Immense amount of desi tadka awaiting your way. *I don't own the illustration on the poster.* - Ruh [ Soul ] ( Ongoing ) Ongoing

The night echoed with the distant hum of celebration, but under the moon's soft illumination, Arjun's cold voice cut through the stillness as he entered the room. "Rhea," I barked, my tone reverberating in the quietude of the night. Her eyes met mine, a mix of fear and uncertainty reflecting in them. "What went down at the party," I stilled, taking in Rhea's tear-filled eyes and trembling form. It gripped my heart, but I refused to show it. "You terrified me. Our worlds, they're not meant to intertwine." As she spoke, I roughly pulled her towards the mirror, our reflections merging in the dim light. I sensed her plea to untangle herself from the complexities I brought, yet I wouldn't let go. The vulnerability she exposed, the power she wielded over me, left me wrestling with a force I couldn't wrap my head around. "There's something you need to grasp." Drawing her closer, her back meeting my chest, our eyes locked in the mirrored reflection. The room seemed to constrict around us, as if our connection was reshaping the very space we occupied. "I would kneel the world before you, if it meant keeping you with me. Your absence would be the destruction of everything."" I confessed, the weight of my words hanging in the air. My hands, firm yet gentle, held her close. "Rhea, the world didn't give me choices when the chaos was thrust upon me, but I choose you. You're a part of me now. You're my goddess, my diosa," I admitted, a mix of desperation and longing in my touch as if trying to bridge the gap between our worlds. ************************************************************************************************* Meet Rhea, a talented wedding planner, and Arjun, a Mafia....oops!!! businessman, whose lives collide in the most unexpected way.

How do you tell the difference between adventurous and life-threatening if you are impervious to fear?

They don’t know what to do with her, so they take her to the one man who does, Gabriel Potens. There, she discovers a prophecy - a prophecy that Gabriel is convinced is about her. He makes her an offer she can’t refuse, but accepting the offer was her third and final mistake. Gabriel begins to lead her down a path she'd rather avoid.
