Shanti's bedroom was a sanctuary of dreams and rebellion. Posters of trailblazing women in STEM adorned the walls, alongside scribbled notes on astrophysics and fanfiction stories. At 16, Shanti was a whirlwind of curiosity and idealism.
Her notebook was filled with stories of Aarya, the protagonist of her favorite series, "The man revenge". Shanti adored Aarya's intelligence but despised her ruthlessness. "Why does she have to be so cold?" Shanti would scribble in the margins.
Shanti's family had a long history with Gurukul. Her parents were benefactors, and she had access to resources most couldn't dream of. But with privilege came expectations. Shanti's parents wanted her to excel, to make a difference.

As Shanti read on, Aarya's actions grew more erratic, her desire for Naveen twisting into something darker. Shanti's notes turned critical. "Is Aarya's love turning to madness?" Her stories began to explore alternative paths, where Aarya's feelings didn't consume her.
Aarya's obsession deepened, her actions becoming increasingly ruthless. Shanti's writing reflected her unease. "Is the main character manipulating her, or is it something more?" Novel grappled with the blurred lines between love and obsession.

Shanti's emotions simmered as she read on. Naveen's bold moves, his unwavering resolve, it all infuriated her. "Why is he being so reckless?" she thought, her heart racing with anxiety. Novel took a dark turn, with Naveen facing consequences for his actions.
As she scribbled notes in the margins, Shanti's anger grew. "He's going to get himself killed!" Her parents noticed her frustration, her mom asking, "Shanti, what's wrong?" Shanti shook her head, "Naveen's just... he's being so stubborn."

Mom after some time i am going to study okay. Shanti said.

The words poured onto the page, Shanti's heart beating in sync with Naveen's struggles. She was angry, she was scared, she was devastated by Naveen nature.
Aarya's manipulative games and the naveen puppet strings pulled at Shanti's nerves. She scribbled furious notes about Aarya's next moves, novel the girl's downfall. "How can she be so blind?" Shanti wondered.
