NOW IS NOW: When Time Spoke

About the Book

Some lives don’t shatter — they slowly drift.

Now is Now is a contemplative novel about stillness, movement, and the quiet moments that change us.

Adhira, twenty-seven, finds herself suspended between what was and what could be. After heartbreak, career uncertainty, and the quiet unraveling of her parents’ marriage, she stands at a subtle turning point — one where time no longer waits politely.

Set against the restless rhythm of Mumbai, this deeply reflective novel explores identity, pause, healing, and the courage it takes to begin again.

Inside this book, you will discover:

• A young woman learning to live in the present instead of postponing her life
• The delicate emotional space between love, loss, and self-worth
• A tender exploration of divorce, memory, and family bonds
• The silent weight of unfinished dreams
• A story about choosing presence over regret
• A journey where stillness becomes transformation

This is not a loud story.

It is a quiet one — and that is precisely its power.

If you have ever felt stuck between yesterday and tomorrow, this book will feel like a mirror.

About the Author

Aashi Gupta is a poet, author, and actor whose work explores identity, time, transformation, and the quiet emotional shifts that shape who we become. Drawn to overlooked moments and the space between who we are and who we present to the world, she writes with deep sensitivity and observation.

Her storytelling is rooted in silence, reflection, and emotional honesty. She believes that pauses carry stories of their own — and that some truths reveal themselves only when we slow down enough to listen.

Now is Now is a reflective and heartfelt novel that invites readers to do exactly that.
