A Glipmse Of Fire

               Avni Nambiar

Avni Nambiar had always been the quiet one, the type to stay late at the hospital, reviewing cases, making sure she hadn't missed anything. A second-year medical resident, she knew the grind. The 12-hour shifts. The exhaustion. The nagging feeling that she wasn’t doing enough. But beneath the scrubs and stethoscope, there was a spark—a desire to prove herself in a world where only the best made it. Still, no matter how much she gave to the job, there was always something missing. Maybe it was the pressure to live up to her mother’s legacy. Or the fear that, one day, she'd lose herself in the process. The idea of love, of someone seeing her beyond the white coat, felt like a distant dream, buried under the weight of patient charts and overnight shifts. Yet, in the midst of it all, there was a challenge she wasn’t expecting—a senior doctor whose presence made her second-guess every clinical decision she made.

Reyaansh Malhotra

Reyaansh Malhotra, a 26-year-old senior doctor from Kanpur, embodies a complex mix of traits. Physically, he stands tall at 6'1" with a lean, athletic build, perfectly styled dark hair, and piercing brown eyes that seem to bore into those he meets. His sharp jawline and small scar above his left eyebrow only add to his enigmatic presence.

On the surface, Reyaansh appears cold, calculating, and always in control, with high standards for himself and others that can sometimes make him come across as aloof or distant. However, beneath this exterior lies a deeply compassionate and empathetic individual who is fiercely dedicated to his patients. Born and raised in Kanpur, Reyaansh comes from a long line of doctors and was always expected to follow in their footsteps. He studied medicine at a prestigious university and quickly rose through the ranks to become a respected senior doctor.

Reyaansh's primary motivation is to provide the best possible care for his patients, and he is fiercely dedicated to his work. However, he also has a deep-seated desire to prove himself as a top-notch doctor and to make his family proud. Despite his many strengths, Reyaansh struggles with his own emotional guardedness, having built walls around himself to protect against the emotional demands of his job. This makes it difficult for him to form close relationships with others, and he is also haunted by a past mistake that continues to weigh on his conscience. Ultimately, Reyaansh hopes to find a way to balance his professional ambitions with his personal relationships and to learn to open up to others.
