-----------------------------------------------

This is a story. The story of Miki, who is in her early twenties and lives in Gurgaon, far away from the small hill town where she grew up. 


Miki has a pretty normal life: she has a job she enjoys, but wonders if it's really something she wants to keep doing for years; she has friends who make up a big part of her life; she has family she likes but doesn't always agree with; she has had romances in the past but is now looking for something meaningful and lasting. She is, in a way, most of us. 


Yet she is herself. She reads romance novels, but doesn't believe in them. She is lonely, but too lazy or self-absorbed or scared to go out looking for friends. She doesn't think she's pretty, but it doesn't seem to bother her much. She has these two conflicting personalities within her that form a running commentary to her life: Miki, her rebellious, independent side and Mandakini, her conformist, sweet side.


You, yes, you who read this site or just happened to land up here, can be a part of her story. Watch it unfold, chapter by chapter. Tell me what you like about it, and what you don't. Tell me what you want to happen, and maybe I'll listen. 


Every Sunday, a fresh chapter. Read about Miki and hear the voices in her head.
