Lockdown: a much-needed sabbatical for love
Lockdown has inspired us to explore a part of life that we have probably forgotten. All these years, we have been talking about revisiting 90s and our childhood. 
During lockdown, we experienced such changes. Inspired by lockdown, 30-year-old author Arpit Vageria wrote 'The Girl Next Door', which is releasing in August. 
The storyline revolves around Ishaan and Ruhi and how lockdown takes them back to love.
It is as Vageria describes it ‘90's love story in time of lockdown’. Ishan and Ruhi move back to Bhopal from Mumbai due to lockdown. 
One is a radio Jockey and another one is a choreographer and a daughter of Chief Minister.
Ishaan returns home after 15 years after a bad rift in the family. So for him, its forced re-union for him that he never wanted.
Lockdown becomes a time to mend the old relationships and forget what happened that on a night 15 years back. Also, a third person in story has ulterior motives. 
Lockdown was the sabbatical world needed.

After 7 years, story published as we unlock
Journey of a writer is never easy and after hard work of about 7 years, 22-year-old writer Misbah Khan was able to publish her first book ‘The Blanks & Blues’. It took five years for her to write the book and another two to get it published.
But lockdown time turned out to be her bliss as her book finally debuted this month. The Blanks & Blues is a coming of age story. 
But it's not just a story for youngsters. Noor, the only child of her parents, experiences life-changing events during her childhood in circumstances beyond her control. 
Searching for answers, she finds her catharsis in storytelling in verse. Looking for answers to her devastated life, she eventually finds the courage that would help her define her destiny.
The story moves between Nainital and Delhi, and eventually to Canada, in an interesting non-linear narrative. 
The novel explores gender dynamics, orthodoxy, homophobia, plagiarism and other contemporary subjects viewed and understood from a young female character's perspective.
The book penned in English includes quotes and shayari from Urdu literature. 

Interview collection
Conceptualising on interactions with people and depicting various emotions through life stories, 26-year-old writer Rashika Joshi recently launched her second book ‘Keep It Simple’. 
The book is an attempt to encourage a change in our perception to look at life states. “Discussing the frequent states we come across in life, I tried to portray twenty five such elements described precisely for each state to make life simple rather than making it complex and entangling it more with problems,” Rashika said. 
She interviewed 8 people around her to pen down instances from their life. She had initially collected stories and then rewritten them for the book. 
Among other common people, the book also talks about the life of Bhagyashree Dassani. Bhagyashree is an Indian actress, who appears in Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Marathi, Telugu films. 
She made her acting debut with the film Maine Pyar Kiya, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
