Summary: “Marriages are made in heaven” is a well-known adage. The protagonists – Anjali (a beautiful Brahmin girl) and Chetan (a sensible tribal boy) – were destined to tie the knot, in spite of inherent hurdles. This fiction is based on their unspoken love. Intense love for each other was ignited through an episode of novel-exchange between Anjali and Chetan. Both were shy and therefore never expressively communicated their love. It all happened in silence and without a word of love being spoken. It was truly ‘love in silence’."

Summary: "Wanggo Socia is one of the youngest published Nocte authors. "I recalled my past" is a collection of poems categorized into three chapters: Surviving, Learning and Rising. In the Surviving chapter, he writes about the challenges he faced in his vulnerable age. He writes about surviving, about the family and love, freedom, power, rights of LGBTQ etc. In his Learning chapter, he is carrying a believe that in this life nothing has to be feared but only to be understood. He has faith in himself and believe that we can make a better place to live in. In last chapter, Rising, he rises again as the illumination of his own life. As a survivor, he believes there is no darkness in this world we cannot overcome."
