There are some loves that refuse to fade —  They live beyond time, beyond death, beyond the fragile borders of reason. They linger in a touch remembered, in a letter left unfinished, in the fragrance of an old winter night. Echoes of an Endless Love is a tribute to such loves —  those that defy endings.

This collection of ten deeply human stories explores love in its most haunting, fragile, and eternal forms. Set across cities and mountains, across lifetimes and fleeting moments, these tales speak of the timeless human yearning to love and be loved —  even when the world, fate, and time itself stand in the way.

Each story here is a journey —  sometimes soft as snowfall, sometimes raw as truth, and sometimes devastatingly beautiful. Together, they weave a tapestry of emotions that echo across lives, reminding us that love never really dies; it only changes its form.

1. Love Beyond Time

It begins with snow —  soft, silent, and eternal. In the valleys of Manali, two souls meet again after decades, unaware that they have known each other before —  in another life, under another name. The story moves between love and loss, between death and return, until love itself becomes a bridge between two lifetimes. A tale of reincarnation, unfinished promises, and the redemption of an eternal bond, Love Beyond Time sets the emotional tone for the entire collection— where love transcends mortality itself.

2. Vows in the Snow

A broken man. A lonely woman. And a mountain that witnesses it all. He comes seeking revenge against love itself —  determined to play with another’s heart to avenge his own. But when the fragile warmth of genuine affection melts his bitterness, he discovers that love cannot be manipulated; it must be surrendered to. Vows in the Snow is a story of deception turned devotion, of how even betrayal can lead to salvation when the heart learns to love again.

3. Before the Last Goodbye

Sometimes love doesn’t need forever; it just needs one last journey. On a bus ride from Lucknow to Delhi, two estranged lovers meet again after years apart. Between small talks and silences, between memories and unspoken apologies, they relive their past —  only to realize that goodbyes, too, can be beautiful when said with love. A tender story of closure, forgiveness, and the quiet dignity of letting go.

4. When Love Returned

At a family wedding, fate brings together two souls separated by time and circumstance. He had never stopped loving her; she had forgotten how to be loved. Now, middle-aged and weary, they find in each other not the thrill of youth but the comfort of understanding. When Love Returned celebrates the second chances that life sometimes gifts to those who still dare to believe in love.

5. 7 Days of a Lifetime

In the snow-clad beauty of Sonmarg, a young man mistakes faith for identity — and love for illusion. He falls for a girl he believes to be like him, only to discover that she belongs to a world divided by religion. What follows is a journey of awakening, of realizing that love knows no boundaries — except the ones we create. 7 Days of a Lifetime is tender and tragic, a reflection on the invisible walls that separate hearts.

6. When We Paused

Some meetings happen only to ask —  “What if?” He encounters his former lover in the mountains while on a work trip. She, once radiant with ambition, is now the wife of an older man, trapped in a gilded cage. In the pause between their lives, they rediscover what could have been, what still might be, and what must be left behind. When We Paused is about unfinished symphonies and the silence between two heartbeats.

7. Chasing Shades of Love

Love, in the digital age, often begins as a username. A young man helps a runaway girl reach the boy she met online — only to find that virtual affection can hide cruel realities. In helping her, he confronts the illusions of modern love and the need to protect innocence in a world that’s forgotten sincerity. Chasing Shades of Love blends urban restlessness with old-fashioned emotion, showing that love’s purity still survives beneath all facades.

8. The Books He Never Read

At an airport, a man becomes obsessed with a girl engrossed in a book.

 He builds entire dreams around her imagined intellect, her imagined soul — until he discovers she was never reading at all. The Books He Never Read is a mirror to every illusion we fall in love with —  the fantasy of what we want someone to be, rather than who they truly are.

9. When Dreams Met Reality

She fell in love with a man she had never met — a famous writer whose words promised warmth and depth. Through her letters, she believed she knew him. But when she entered his life, she met not the man from her dreams, but the truth behind the ink. When Dreams Met Reality is about idealism shattered by intimacy, and the painful beauty of discovering that love, too, must be real to endure.

10. When the Flute Wept

In a quiet village, a boy’s flute becomes his language of love.

 The purity of his heart and the simplicity of his devotion awaken something forgotten in a rebellious girl who returns to him against all odds. When the Flute Wept closes the collection with a melody of innocence — where love, stripped of all artifice, sings in its purest form.

The Journey Within

Together, these ten stories form a circle — of beginnings and endings, of heartbreak and healing, of lovers meeting across cities, lifetimes, and silences. From the Himalayan snow to the crowded streets of Kolkata, from airports to ancestral homes, Echoes of an Endless Love speaks a language that every heart understands.

It is not just a book about love —  it is about the persistence of love. How it returns when forgotten, redeems when broken, and survives even when it seems to have died.

Because love, in the end, is not an event —  it is an echo. And echoes never really end.
