THIRTY DAYS NOTICE EPISODE 6 — “WHO ARE YOU”
NAINA Day nine. Milan had started to feel familiar again in the way that places do when you stop noticing them and start just — living in them. I arrived at Ghar at five as usual. The kitchen smelled like cardamom and the particular warmth of a stove that had been going since Papa arrived…

THIRTY DAYS NOTICE
EPISODE 5 — “FRIDAY” NAINA Day seven. Friday. The word has been sitting in my chest since Wednesday like something I swallowed wrong. I’ve been at Ghar since 4 AM. Not because there was work to do at 4 AM. Because lying in bed thinking about whether forty-seven thousand followers would translate into actual human…

ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED — EPISODE 8
TERMS AND CONDITIONS ANAYA There are three kinds of bad mornings. One — you wake up late. Two — you wake up to bad news. Three — you wake up, and the bad news has been sitting in a group chat since 4 PM yesterday, and everyone assumed you already knew, because you’re supposedly engaged…

ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED — EPISODE 7
THE FIRST TEST ANAYA I woke up to forty-seven notifications. Forty-seven. Not because something had gone wrong. Because something had gone right. Which was somehow worse. I stared at the ceiling for a full minute before picking up my phone. A mistake. The photograph was everywhere. Instagram. WhatsApp. Family groups. Three separate aunties. Someone’s mother.…

ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED EPISODE – 5
CAN WE FIND THE BALANCE? ANAYA There are very few things worse than accidentally getting engaged. Finding out the internet is invested in it was one of them. I had barely slept. Not because of Veer.

ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED — EPISODE 3
TOO LATE. ANAYA There are mistakes. Then there are situations. And then— there are situations that become public. Mine became public at 8:17 AM. The rush of emotions thinking through the current situation was baffling. Veer Malhotra had the audacity to reject me. Get it together Anaya, he didn’t reject you, you created a mess.…

OFF THE RECORD EPISODE- 10 (FINALE)
KAIA The office felt unfamiliar. We had changed. The conversation was so sharp that I knew there was no coming back after this. I didn’t look at him. This time— I chose not to. NEIL She walked in. Same pace. Same control. Less cheerful. Disappointed and from the circles she was trying to hide beneath…

OFF THE RECORD EPISODE -9
NEIL The office felt the same. Nothing had changed. Same desks.Same screens.Same rhythm of people pretending to be busier than they were. And yet— something was off. I didn’t look at her. I didn’t need to. The silence where there should have been tension— was worse. KAIA I reached before thinking. Adjusted a file on…

OFF THE RECORD EPISODE- 8
KAIA Mornings were supposed to reset things. Same roads. Same signals. Same unnecessary traffic that never moved when it should have. Predictable. I liked being predictable. The one thing that baffles me is when predictability is my trait, why am I not able to predict what happens after yesterday? I wanted to replace my mind…
