About The Book

Once I was Alive

But now… am I even real?

Nishant had it all – a beating heart, a best friend in Isha, and love blooming with Sohali. He was alive, truly alive.

Then his world shattered.

Sohali’s betrayal left him a hollow shell, his heartbeat a fading memory. As Nishant struggles to remember what it felt like to be alive, a mysterious woman appears, promising to reignite his pulse. There’s just one problem: she might be a figment of his fractured mind.

Just when he thinks he’s lost everything, Sohali returns with secrets that threaten to destroy what’s left of his sanity.

Now, trapped in a maze of his own making, Nishant must unravel:
• Which memories are real and which are fabricated?
• Is the touch that sets his skin on fire just another illusion?
• Can he trust the beat of his own heart?

Prepare to lose yourself in a tale where love, madness, and existence collide. By the time you turn the last page, you’ll be asking yourself: Am I truly alive, or just dreaming of a life once lived?”
