About the book
1000 Days of Love is not a love story
But, it is a story about love.
All it takes is one person. One phone call. One conversation. To change the trajectory of your life.
What happens when a young woman who has her whole life ahead of her meets an older man who is certain of his death?
Riya is 25, stuck in a job she hates, while holding onto a dream of revolutionizing education (with no one to talk to). Sri is 58, living with late-stage Parkinson’s, and somehow more alive than anyone you’ve ever met. What begins as a strange, unsolicited phone call spawns into an extraordinary bond. Riya finds the father she's always wanted, and Sri the daughter he never had.
1000 Days of Love answers the questions we spend our whole lives avoiding: what does unconditional love actually look like? How do you give someone joy, when all you feel is your pain? And, is human suffering… optional?
We all need someone. How many of us have it?
There’s a specific kind of loneliness that has no word.
You feel frozen in time, watching your life pass by like sand flowing through stiff fingers. There’s no one single villain. It’s an undercurrent of forces, all acting against you, all the time. The scariest moment is right before you close your eyes, when you see your life in perfect clarity.
Albert Camus captured this well: people don't spiral into despair because life is unbearable in every moment. They spiral because the situation feels like it has no way out.
1000 Days of Love was written for anyone who’s felt that despair—and anyone who believes human connection is the cure.
Because, while independence is the dream we all chase, in dependence lies our true reality.
“
It ain’t always easy, but neither is growing up without someone believing in you.”
— Ted Lasso
1000 Days of Love is for

About the author
5 years in the making
I’m Soundarya, and this is the book I wanted to write before I die.
I’ve written two books before. Admitted helped thousands of students navigate studying abroad. Unshackled, co-written with an immigration lawyer, became a guide for skilled immigrants in America trying to make sense of a broken system. Along the way, I built one of the largest communities for legal immigrants.
This book is different. It’s fiction, but it’s the truest thing I’ve written. It started as a single journal entry five years ago after I met Rajesh Setty, my godfather. Five years, four continents, and many drafts later, here we are.
Start reading it before anyone else.
