The world, the universe is yours and you are free to create your own world beyond reality. You are free to touch happiness and emotions and free to mould them the way you wish, at the pace you wish.
The words, the feelings, the emotions, the drama, the thrill, the romance, the characters...all belong to you unlike the real world where at times you fail to design your own dreams too. That just doesn't happen with writing. It never lets you down.(less)

Extract 2 from 'DNA- Dad's Not Adopted'

"...Rishabh hadn’t shaved for three days and looked shabby sitting alone in the interrogation room at the Police Headquarters. He had not taken a bath that day and wore the same black shirt which he was wearing a day before. The room was dark with only a tube light on the ceiling facing the table and three chairs placed in the centre of the room. He occupied one of those chairs.

Quotes by Shikha Kaul  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You know marriage is like hunger. You yearn for it till you don’t get the food. Once the stomach is full, you don’t want more on your plate. But then hunger can subside only temporarily. It keeps coming back and that’s how exactly a happy married life keeps going on, with all ups and downs.”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“How could God design millions of new faces each day, keeping in mind the resemblance to the progenitor, who in turn was His genesis?”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“If God granted me a wish today, I would ask for a talent to read, write and speak all languages of the world!”
Shikha Kaul

Polls

What kind of love marriages face worst challenge in Indian society and why? Can you share some examples.

I have excluded gay marriages from this list as it has almost zero tolerance in India, although the times will change for better.

“A life-mate is supposed to fulfil the basic standards of a life cycle and a soul-mate is the one purely connected to your heart.”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“They say you should never hide anything from your doctors and lawyers. Hiding from a doctor could lead your way to heaven (or hell). Hiding from a lawyer could land you behind bars. Doctors give you the right direction to your present and lawyers give a picture to your future. They need to know more than what you could share with your best of friends.”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“You know marriage is like hunger. You yearn for it till you don’t get the food. Once the stomach is full, you don’t want more on your plate. But then hunger can subside only temporarily. It keeps coming back and that’s how exactly a happy married life keeps going on, with all ups and downs.”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“How could God design millions of new faces each day, keeping in mind the resemblance to the progenitor, who in turn was His genesis?”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband

“Sometimes you have to leave yourself to the mercy of someone else. Not because you are weak or less powerful, but just because nature wants it that way.
The earth revolves around the sun; even its ego can’t change that as it’s the very basis of its survival. I had left myself to the mercy of God, believing He would help keep me going and still continue to be around.”
Shikha Kaul, Hidden Husband
