Hi, I am Nisha.
I know you are very busy in your day to day work. But please take time to read my story.

Quotes by Shiv Kumar (?)

“Love is selfless. It does not dictate terms. Expectations are natural but not compulsory. It doesn’t say I will love you as long as you will listen to me. The minute you will disobey me I will leave you. It says I will show you the right path. If you choose a path which is wrong according to me than I will not support you but I will still love you”
― Shiv Kumar, A Metro Nightmare

“Believe me there is one thing that is permanent. That is LOVE. The circumstances, beginning, ending and the protagonist all changes.”
― Shiv Kumar, A Metro Nightmare

“Life always gives option to quit. If you want to compromise you always have that option”
