Hello everyone, especially those who have been following Sarmaya on Scroll.

First of all, thank you so much for all the love you've shown Abandoned – The Tale of Malaal.

I've been away from writing for a while. I've been feeling very lonely and sad for quite some time. I tried everything I could to feel better and get back into a good state of mind, but it didn't work out.

I've finally been diagnosed with depression, and life has been very difficult these days.

Because of this, I've decided that I won't be posting any more stories.

There was so much I wanted to write, but my mental and physical health have taken a step back. A lot has happened over the past few months. Writing helped me for a while, but it also came at the cost of my sleep, as I would often stay up late writing.

So, there won't be any more updates on Sarmaya. I'll be prioritising my health this year.

I hope things go back to normal someday. I want to be happy and carefree again.

I also hope that next year I'll finally be able to bring all the plots and stories I've been carrying in my mind to life.

Thank you for your time and for being a part of this journey. ❤️
