It was foggy in the morning in London making it difficult to travel. There is one thing about England you can't know what the weather will be, it will rain anytime and one must always wear a windcheater. Balin lived in Notting Hill which had become quite popular because of the movie Notting Hill movie of Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, his granny lived here from birth and never liked to move out even though she could more expensive house.
Balin's granny runs a fashion magazine before that she was a journalist and a news anchor, she had interviewed many famous people around the globe, also because of her profession she met his grandfather who is Indian origin. Granny Diana was also famous for her charming personality, still for her age she looked quite young compared to my maternal grandma Usha at first glance can see was a typical orthodox housewife but actually she was quite open-minded on a few things like education, profession and even love. Despite cultural differences both grandma's love their grandchildren unconditionally, making them coordinate with each other for taking care of us especially my sister as she is too young to go to hostel well she is only seven.
My younger sister is duplicate of my grandma Diana making her very special, she just looks like a doll with her bluish-green eyes and blonde hair one can't resist to pinch her chubby cheeks. I really sometimes feared how many hearts she will capture after growing up.
I reached my granny Diana's apartment where my baby sis was playing with her dolls on the sofa. Seeing me arrive she gave me a smile and called my grandma Usha who was in the kitchen preparing homemade snacks and tea for us. My grandma Usha often comes to take care of us when my granny Diana is very busy. My grandma Usha came out of the kitchen to see me her hand was full of gram flour, giving me a half hug and kissing me on my cheeks, then I went to wash myself up in my room.

When I saw they were broadcasting the game of hearts audition tapes as I started watching with my sister, my grandma Usha also joined us with our table full of all sorts of Indian snacks, tea, and milk for my sis.

The judges asked her why she joined the show, Sukhwinder Mann patted her chest and said with a resolution "I want to show my son that I also have the guts to appear on T.V.I have bet with my son that I
can survive in the show till one month."Seeing her determination the judges applauded her and gave her the invitation to the show after that I felt sweat coming out of my back I had not come out of my daze when I heard the loud bang of doors both my grandma went to their room in anger and my sis was hitting me with her small hands. Well, it was not enough I started getting calls from my whole family from India and the U.K . all yelling at him just because of his mother's statement on T.V. just broadcasted.

Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic
Xianxia, the dream of many. To be reborn in such a world so that you may make yourself a god amongst gods, so that you may rule your own fate and destiny.Well, welcome to reality, because even if you end up in such a realm, who says you get power? Who says you are the one who gets to rule as a god amongst gods? Those stories you read at home on your phone or laptop? Sadly, it just isn't so. Just like Zev, the protagonist of this novel discovered when he was dropped into a world full of Immortals, Monsters, Gods and other monstrous beings. No other worldly power, no other worldly magic, no treasure trove of knowledge or skills was given to him. He was dropped as a mere human, a slightly stronger than average human, into a world where his goal was to simply teach others upon pain of death.-----Full Name of Story [Teaching Heroes of Might and Magic: Mentor of Main Characters]And for the synopsis, I'll first of all state that I am not good at writing them, and this may not have explained the story very well. So I'll just state what the story includes, and what it doesn't. It includes Immortals, demons, gods, etc, you get the idea. What it doesn't include is an actually powerful main character. The main character has a set of unique skills, which include lying, cheating, faking, and all around poker face to get him in and out of situations.Again, the Synopsis needs to be worked on, but for now, that is what it is.
