Here it is — I'll be at the Toronto Book Fair on September 27th at David Pecaut Square, Booth 24 (BrandMyBook stall), signing copies of "The Arid Lips" in person. If you're anywhere near Toronto that weekend, come find me. I'd love to meet the people who've made this book's first few months so special.

Limited signed copies will be available at the booth — first come, first served.

See you there.

If you've ever been the one who stayed quiet and just waited — this one's for you.

Aarjay's chapter comes right after Mihika's for a reason — two people, two very different ways of loving the same person. He's steady where she's soft, certain where she's unsure.

If "It Ends With Us" wrecked you, if "Half Girlfriend" or "World's Best Boyfriend" lived in your bag for a month — "The Arid Lips" belongs on that same shelf.

Same ache. Same impossible love. Different world.

Everyone assumes this is just a kiss. It's not. It's the last one. The one before two people who loved each other honestly had to become strangers by choice — not by falling out of love, but because the world around them never let them stay in it.

"The Arid Lips" is Mihika and Aarjay's story, and once you know what the lips on this cover mean, you won't be able to un-see it.

If you've ever loved someone who felt like a feeling more than a person then this book is for you. Which line hit hardest? Tell me below. 👇

Mihika. In Hindi, it means mist — soft, elusive, impossible to hold, but impossible to ignore. She's from a small town in Uttar Pradesh, and she is the quiet center of everything that happens in "The Arid Lips."

What object would tell your life's most important story?

Imagine walking through a museum built entirely from your emotions. No expensive paintings. No famous sculptures. Only moments. A train ticket. A coffee cup. An unread message. A street corner. A melody.

Sometimes the smallest things carry the heaviest meanings.

What's one act of kindness you'll always remember receiving?

Pain has a strange habit. Sometimes it asks us to become exactly what hurt us. The real victory isn't pretending you were never wounded. It's deciding your wounds won't become someone else's. Every day, people choose kindness despite carrying invisible battles. That's a kind of courage the world rarely applauds. Maybe kindness isn't softness. Maybe it's strength under control.

What's one lesson you'll never forget, and who unknowingly taught it to you?

We often think transformation comes from grand events. But sometimes it begins with one sentence. One unexpected act of kindness. One difficult truth. One moment that quietly redirects an entire life. The remarkable part? The person who changed you may never realize they did. Maybe we're all leaving invisible fingerprints on people without ever knowing.
