Hello my readers! You must have heard the phrase: Try try but don't cry!
When you keep trying to accomplish your dreams, but you fail in your attempts, you lose hope.
What if your never-give-up attitude takes you to a point where you wear your success crown and your life gets a turning point?
Maya lives in a small apartment in Mumbai. She was away from her parents. She lives in Mumbai because of her work. She was an employee of the corporate sector with a handsome salary.
Apart from her office work, she had always dreamt of becoming an author. She used to send her manuscripts to publishers. Unfortunately, her face used to fall flat when her publishers rejected her manuscripts for some reason or the other.
That day it was raining. The rain fell in thin silver threads, tracing the window of Maya's 1 bhk flat. She was sitting at her desk with a laptop open. Her eyes were fixed on a few rejection mails from publishers on the laptop screen.
