The Dry Leaves

In the quiet Kerala village of Kozhiyampara, Bhavani Nair, trapped in a loveless marriage, finds solace in a charming stranger on Facebook. Unbeknownst to her, the stranger is a cruel prank by her cousin Meenu and friend Devi. When Bhavani abandons her newborn under dry leaves, believing in a false promise of escape, a devastating chain of events unravels. As the village grapples with tragedy, lies, and betrayal, *The Dry Leaves* explores the devastating consequences of digital deception, rural isolation, and the fragile line between innocence and guilt.

Show your support

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.
