But She Didn't Come
Rashi, an intelligent and sensible girl in her mid-twenties, had been living in North Goa since birth. Being a real glass sucker and chain smoker, she was always one step ahead of teen life but shattering her adult life with over maturity and protectiveness. Living near to those exotic beaches, she had no interest in gazing at the incessant sea, the kissing couples and palm trees but when she met a near-perfect dazzling girl Nikita, with a queer plan, her life got upended with the unanticipated affairs. As the tale moves ahead, unfamiliar people make appearances with new expectations, stories, and demands.But She Didn’t Come isn’t the story of love but a pole apart anecdotes of four shattered people who were lost in their own dreams of love & life.The Gist of GoaIf someone asks us where we should go to relish our life, we may suggest Goa, the land of utmost freedom, and Bangkok, the cherry of Thailand, but man, Goa has some high-spirited feel to get rolled into the vibes of the sea and absorb it as an eternal party destination. We know people recognize Goa for pubs, bikini girls, and the perpetual exultation of beaches. You can reach Goa and you will never come back with a tedious mind. When people choose to sleep at their home, the honest-to-goodness parties start in the pubs and bars of Goa. You may see people dancing, holding beer cans, looking divergent and crossing every limit to find the amusement of life. Humans are bizarre, they can dance everywhere, open or closed sky, and nothing matters to them until they get what they want. Shack parties on empty beaches, bars flooded with couples, and some strangely lured people looking for life, exploring the sea at every best place and the shore of the sea. Goa is an exceptional & glamorous tourist place to explore love, life, beaches and monotonous shots of vodka, wine, cocktails, or maybe juices for some authoritarian people.BONUSLove happens in a moment, and it develops severely every moment. Moment after moment, we want to escape, fight over it, but never run away. With passing time, it becomes strong to possess our soul and never fade away in our hearts. How hard we try, we can’t escape, and whatever we tell people, the memories always come in front of our eyes. Love is the strongest memory of true hearts, and that’s why it is rare but irresistible too.

Santa on the Ground
'Hey, I am Kris, a twelve-year-old little boy with irresistible & invincible faith in God and humanity but have been battling my entire life since I was born. I always remember and even assume that everything was already written in our destiny, and we can't design our own life in the way we truly want. Okay, who cares when we already have an arduous life; leave it. We all build intimacy with the beauty of nature and perceive, experience & feel it naively and incessantly but when nature bursts out to torture us in the awful way, we start loathing it. We all hate things that don't come in our favour. We all want life to happen as we want but this would also tangle it because God does everything for a reason even the dreadful. I live in Oslo, Norway, in a dingy wooden house with my doddery aging mother who has been battling much in her life even before I was born. Her subtle wrinkled face with void cheerlessness can't be forgotten in front of my partial happiness.I can't even imagine my life without my mother. She's my world of love. I know, you are thinking how I can talk like a matured person but this happens in people's lives when situations forget to see your age and start making you ache and when you don't have any option, you have to thrive early to triumph over your age. We all conquer when we choose growth over pain. My mom could get married, but she accepted me as her only world and I accepted her as the entire universe of my love.'When I delineate some tales to people about magic, fantasy and art, they never put coincidence in me as they feel, magic happens on the stage only, fantasies exist in the films and art mostly crafted in the paintings but what would happen if magic starts happening in our material life. It looks like a worthwhile string of life when everything seems real and magical at the same time. I also believe the same grudge-bearing truth of life but someone said it right, your hero will not come out until you meet the biggest villain of your life. Magic happens with all of us, but most people ignore it by saying it coincidence every time. Santa on the Ground is heart throbbing, twisted, enchanting tale of a mother and son into the inky woods that would unleash classic adventure, intense emotions, soul-stirring magic spells, unexpected destiny, pure nostalgia, deep excitement, immense pain, loyal friendship and the power of God.
