"Ever since I left, I never thought I'd come back. But life has a way of pulling you back to the very place you ran from."

Hi, I'm Abhinav Narula.

Data analyst in New York. Emotionally avoidant. Expert at pretending everything's fine.

I left India four years ago -- not just to chase ambition, but to outrun memories that hurt too much to carry.

Now I'm back. In a house I never called home. I find myself stuck under one roof with the family I've avoided, a father who still thinks emotional manipulation is a love language, and a mother whose silence says more than her words ever could.

My sister Vidya? Still the same firecracker -- loud, hilarious, and always ready with a punchline when things get too real.

I thought this visit would be quick. Polite. Forgettable.

But then I met Jiya -- a street-food-obsessed, camera-wielding stranger who walks into my story like she owns the chapter. And suddenly, everything I kept buried begins to surface again.

The past isn't done with me yet. And the world around us?

It's changing faster than I can run.
