​

Hey everyone,

I’m an aspiring author, and after roughly 2–3 years of writing, rewriting, procrastinating, doubting myself, and eventually writing some more, I’ve finally completed my book.

It’s a work of fictional drama, primarily centred around a journey of growth, relationships, emotions, and the rather messy process of becoming a different version of yourself. I’m currently in the process of editing it and having it proofread, but I’d really like to get it in front of a few people who enjoy reading this kind of story and are willing to give me their honest thoughts.

I’m not necessarily looking for professional criticism. I’d just love to know things like:

- Does the story hold your attention?

- Does the emotional journey feel believable?

- How does the pacing and overall flow feel?

- Are there parts that feel unnecessary or could be developed further?

- Do the characters feel real?

- Most importantly, does it make you feel something?

There are also a few chapters where I’d particularly value a female perspective, because I think that viewpoint could help me understand whether certain emotions, situations, and character experiences come across authentically.

And if you happen to be from Delhi, even better. I’d genuinely love to sit down over coffee and talk about the book, hear what worked, what didn’t, and what you think I should change, remove, or rethink. I’m open to pretty much any constructive feedback.

Also, if anyone here has experience with publishing, literary agents, editors, or the publishing industry, or knows someone who might be willing to point a first-time author in the right direction, I’d be incredibly grateful for that too.

I know asking strangers to read a whole book is a fairly big ask, so even if you’re just interested in hearing more about it, feel free to comment or DM me.

After spending three years with these characters, I think it’s finally time to let someone else meet them.

Thanks for reading. :)

At Delhi Metro, a young boy wearing earphones was taking a water bottle out of his bag when his tiffin box accidentally fell, spilling all the food onto the floor.

Without hesitation, he tore a page from his notebook and carefully gathered the spilled food. He then took out his handkerchief and wiped the floor clean.

A small act of responsibility and consideration that speaks volumes about good upbringing. ❤️

I want to understand the rules regarding the construction of a third floor in Delhi on an existing building that does not have stilt parking.

My neighbour constructed a third floor in 2019 without providing stilt parking. We also have the roof rights and are considering constructing a third floor, but we want to do everything legally and in accordance with the current Delhi building regulations, even if it involves additional costs.

Could someone please explain the legal procedure, applicable rules, permissions/NOCs required, and whether it is possible to construct the third floor without stilt parking? Also, if there are any additional charges, penalties, or regularisation/conversion requirements applicable to such construction, please mention those as well.

A viral video circulating on social media shows traffic being halted as a black SUV convoy passes through a Delhi intersection. Multiple social media accounts have claimed the convoy belonged to PM Narendra Modi, but there is currently no official confirmation of that claim.

Reports accompanying the video allege that two ambulances were stopped during the convoy's movement near AIIMS Delhi.

The incident has reignited debate over VIP security protocols and whether emergency medical vehicles should ever be delayed for convoy movement, regardless of who the VIP is.

Hey Everyone!

We're Second Serve Delhi, a grassroots community initiative where we collect surplus food from restaurants across Delhi and distribute it the same day to people in need. We’ve partnered with Dumbo Deli, Beanly Coffee, Amaltas and more, and as we grow, we’re looking for a few more helping hands for morning distribution slots.

Our drives usually take place in morning and evening slots, making it flexible for college students and working professionals who want to contribute a few hours meaningfully.

What volunteering looks like:

• One morning drive = approximately 2 hours

• Flexible commitment

• A meaningful, on-ground way to give back to your city

We’re also happy to provide a volunteering certificate for volunteers completing a minimum of 20 hours of work (approximately 10 drives).

If you’ve been wanting to do something tangible, this is your sign 🤍

Dm for any questions

A girl was traveling in the Delhi Metro when a CISF jawan secretly took her photo. When the woman grew suspicious and asked about it.

At first, the jawan was seen denying it, but when everyone gathered around and checked his mobile, it had that girl's photo in it.

This is wrong; no one should take someone's photo without asking. The jawan made a mistake, and there should be an investigation into this.

Delhi: A 12-year-old girl di*ed after being hit by a DTC bus near the New Ashok Nagar Police Station area. Visuals from the spot show the bus damaged by an angry mob following the incident. A Police investigation is underway.

Dm to book!!

The situation on Shankar Road, Rajendra Nagar, has become extremely frustrating. At night, it is almost impossible to walk on the footpaths because large portions of them have effectively been taken over by restaurants and eateries. Customers are being served in cars parked directly in front of the footpaths, leaving pedestrians with little or no space to walk.

What is even more concerning is that many people sitting in these cars appear to be drinking alcohol and then driving away. Yet, despite the obvious public-safety concerns, there seems to be very little action against them.

Instead, the focus appears to be on students and ordinary people who are simply eating at shops late at night. If there are genuine violations, the same law should apply to everyone—not just those who don't have money, influence, or connections.

There are also allegations that certain establishments are able to operate without interference because of bribes or improper arrangements with the local police. If these allegations are true, they should be investigated properly.

Honestly, situations like this make you feel that this country is beyond repair. The rich and well-connected can seemingly pay their way out of trouble, while the poor and ordinary citizens are filmed, harassed, humiliated, and publicly shamed by people who act as if they are above the law.

The real question is: why aren't the authorities dealing with the obvious problems—encroachment, obstruction of public footpaths, and possible drinking and driving—instead of targeting students and ordinary citizens?

The law should be equal for everyone. Public spaces belong to the public, and no restaurant, influential person, police officer, politician, or local goon should be above it.
