Through My Lens

Jiya wasn’t looking for love. As a photographer, she was always chasing dreams—freezing emotions in frames, telling stories through her lens. But when her latest assignment leads her to Chirag Kapoor, a man who seems as distant as he is intriguing, she finds herself drawn to a story she never expected to tell—her own. Chirag has spent years keeping his heart guarded, devoting himself to his work and thinking of how he could have done better in the past. Tormented by having lost his family to his mistakes, Love was never part of the plan. But from the moment she enters his life, everything starts to shift. She transforms him in ways no one else believed. She sees him—beyond the businessman, beyond the failed father—forcing him to confront emotions he’s long kept buried. Their connection is undeniable, but their worlds are different. Jiya thrives on unpredictability, while Chirag finds comfort in control. Every stolen glance, every lingering conversation, and every hesitant touch pull them closer, even as they fight against the inevitable. But love is never simple. As Jiya wrestles with her fears of attachment and Chirag struggles to balance his responsibilities, fate forces them to confront the truth they’ve been avoiding. Can they find the courage to embrace what they feel? Through My Lens is a story of love found in unexpected places, of second chances, and of two people learning that sometimes, the most beautiful stories aren’t the ones we capture—but the ones we live.

Hello, I’m Shruti

I’m a writer who believes stories can heal, wander, and sometimes quietly change us.
I write fiction, reflections, and the in-between thoughts that make up everyday life.
Some days I chase characters, some days I chase calm.
This space is where words, stories, and a softer way of living come together.

Books

Stories I’ve written, worlds I’ve lived in for far too long, and characters who refused to stay quiet.
If you’re curious, this is a good place to begin.

Come explore the different characters and their stories!

Blog

Thoughts between drafts, fragments from the writing desk, and the occasional ramble.
Some personal, some about stories — all written honestly.

All thoughts – things too vague or sometimes too indulgent, all here to share.

Happy Living

Small pieces on positivity, spiritual reflections, and finding calm in everyday chaos.
Nothing preachy — just gentle reminders to breathe, pause, and live a little softer.

And a little reminder that you are not alone!
