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.

Sometimes I use AI to help organize my wording or structure sentences better. But don’t worry — the story, characters, ideas, and everything that happens in this world come from my own imagination.

AI is only helping me express those ideas in clearer English.

And honestly… what would be the fun if I just told AI to generate the whole story?

That would be boring.

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

So relax, and enjoy the ride.

What This Story Is

I won’t reveal too much about the story yet.

But one thing is certain:

This is not a simple slice-of-life story.

It slowly moves into fantasy, supernatural elements, and a deeper mystery. The story is meant to be a slow burn, so things will take time to unfold.

If you enjoy stories that grow gradually — where characters, events, and secrets reveal themselves layer by layer — you might enjoy this journey.

The first book in the series is called:

We Were Still Laughing

So grab your tea, coffee, or whatever you like — and enjoy the ride.

And if you like the first chapter…

Keep coming back. Keep reading.

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.
