If you do, consider giving one of my stories a read. It's a modern retelling of a minor character from the Mahabharatha - the great Indian epic. I wrote it a few months back and launched it without much fanfare. It was my first attempt at writing a short story. I'd love to write more if you folks like this one.

Counting down the last five chapters of my debut novel. Strangely, I am finishing the first arc of this novel second (after Their Wonder Years).

I will be posting every 3 days till the end of the arc from tomorrow.

Please do check it out if you haven't. It is a haremlit that has a Sports, Thriller and Mythology undertone. The MC has the same name as Their Wonder Years, but they are different people. It is set in the year 2000 in Calcutta.

Thank you for all the lovely messages and DMs folks have sent since I published the last chapter. I am almost at a 100k in terms of downloads.

If you haven't read the series, please do check it out. I really appreciate your readership. Please keep the messages and feedback coming!

It felt weird to click the Story is Finished button instead of the To be continued button.

It's finally up.

When I started Their Wonder Years: Fall 98, I honestly didn’t know how long this arc would run, or how deeply I’d end up living with these characters. What began as a simple idea about a young man leaving home turned into a long, messy, funny, sometimes uncomfortable, and ultimately very personal journey.

Tomorrow, the final chapter of Season One goes live.

I want to take a moment to thank the core readers who stayed with the story through its slow moments, its chaos, its tonal shifts, and its experiments. Your comments, messages, and even disagreements helped shape the arc more than you probably realize. This story is better because it was read, not just written.

For new readers discovering the story now, I hope you enjoy it for what it is: a character-driven, slice-of-life coming-of-age story with humor, heart, and imperfections very much intact.

Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be doing a light cleanup pass - fixing typos, formatting issues, and trimming or tightening a few scenes that didn’t land the way I intended the first time. If you spot anything wrong... please DM me.

Season Two will begin toward the end of the month, continuing the story forward with the same characters, consequences, and long-form approach. This season will focus on the harem's holiday in Gatlinburg. It will be a darker arc that will shed light on Sarah's past. Stay tuned for more.

Thank you again for reading. whether you’ve been here since the beginning or just arrived.

Onward.
