First Novel
Truth is not always what meets the eye; it often lies deeper and murkier than we expect. Born Again is a journey into ambition, faith, love, and betrayal.
Shreya, a confident young journalist and gold medalist from Delhi University, is determined to make her mark in Indian media. Assigned to uncover the life of Arjun Kapoor—a Booker Prize–winning novelist imprisoned for the murder of his girlfriend—she steps into a world of mystery, silence, and buried truths.
As Shreya digs deeper, she must confront not just Arjun’s past, but her own beliefs about success, relationships, and truth itself.
What keeps us alive? What makes us wake up every morning and continue? Hope.
Kuttan, a young aspiring entrepreneur, has lost everything—his dreams, his confidence, and the love of his life. Feeling defeated and abandoned, he decides to end his life at midnight, the very moment he was born.
As he waits for his final moment, Kuttan looks back at his life—his failures, relationships, and the quiet ways he was unfair to himself and others. What follows is a powerful journey of self-realisation and rediscovering hope.
“Worth a read. I liked the overall feel that the book gives, especially the unexpected climax — at least I didn’t expect it that way. A thoughtful story of ambition, truth, friendship, and emotional depth.”
