Before the Stars Looked Back

Welcome.

This website is where I’m sharing a story I’ve been thinking about for a long time.

It’s not perfect.
But it’s honest.

And sometimes that’s enough.

About the Author

Hi, I’m Gauresh Tambe.

I’m not a professional writer.
I’m simply someone who enjoys stories.

Over the years I’ve spent countless hours watching shows, reading novels, exploring manga, manhwa, dramas, and all kinds of fictional worlds. Those stories stayed with me. They made me imagine characters, conversations, and entire worlds in my own head.

For a long time, I only consumed stories.

Eventually I started wondering:

What if I tried creating one?

This project is my attempt.

Why I’m Writing This

Honestly?

I'm doing this mostly for fun.

But also as a way to relieve stress.

I’m a computer science graduate currently searching for jobs, trying to learn something new every day. Sometimes that process becomes exhausting. Writing this story is my way of stepping out of that world for a while.

So no — I’m not a professional writer, and you shouldn’t expect me to be one.

This isn’t work for me — it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing.

So relax, and enjoy the ride.

What This Story Is

At the beginning, this story may feel simple.

Just a group of friends.
Normal days.
Small conversations and quiet moments.

But stories rarely stay simple for long.

As the chapters unfold, strange things begin to appear — moments that don’t quite make sense, questions that don’t have easy answers, and events that slowly pull the characters into something far bigger than they expected.

What starts as an ordinary journey gradually moves toward mystery, the unknown, and something that may not belong entirely to this world.

This story is meant to be a slow burn.
The characters, the secrets, and the world itself will reveal themselves little by little.

If you enjoy stories where small moments slowly lead to something much larger, you might enjoy what lies ahead.

The first book in the series is called:

We Were Still Laughing

For now, the stars are quiet.

But they won’t stay that way forever.

A Small Note

This story will grow chapter by chapter.

Some parts may change.
Some ideas may evolve.

I’m learning as I write.

If you’re reading this, thank you for being part of that journey.
