The first crack appeared on a humid April evening when Kavitha decided to surprise Rohith with his favorite fish curry.
She had spent the entire afternoon at the Crawford Market, navigating the maze of vendors with her carefully practiced Gujarati and broken Hindi, searching for the specific spices that would make the dish taste like his mother's cooking. The pomfret was fresh, silvery and firm, and she had haggled with the fishmonger until her cheeks burned with embarrassment and satisfaction in equal measure.
My goal behind receiving fan support is not just financial — though of course that helps me continue writing without as much worry about practical limitations — but also emotional and creative. Writing can sometimes feel like a lonely pursuit, and fan support, whether it comes in the form of kind words, sharing my work, or even monetary contributions, tells me that what I create resonates with people. That support allows me to grow, to take risks in my writing, and to give more back to the community that believes in me. In simple terms: fan support keeps the cycle alive. I give my stories and my heart through words, and the encouragement I receive in return becomes the fuel that helps me keep going. Ultimately, my goal is not just to ‘receive,’ but to build a relationship. I want readers to feel that they are part of the journey — that when they support me, they aren’t just helping me write another chapter, they’re shaping the existence of the story itself.
