“We have no plans Mr. Turner. Each plan starts and ends with money. Right now we are trying to make our ends meet. Meanwhile we are working on some good plays. The money that we receive from the Trust keeps us afloat but for how long it will be able to do so, we are […]
Drops of perspiration appeared on Turner’s forehead and on SR’s too. “Mr. Turner are you ok? Disha please bring a glass of water for Mr. Turner. It must be the heat I guess. Sorry we don’t have an AC.” Disha ran towards the kitchen and brought a glass of water. “No no I am ok […]

Here she was, exactly where she wanted to be in her career, with a good, respectful husband and two beautiful daughters. “Dhara, are you ready to go?” Ashvin asked. Lost in her reverie, Dhara […]
Since Dhaara knew him well, he didn’t want to be the one doing this operation on Ashwin Devkar.
