In a While, Crocodile is a warm, emotionally charged contemporary romance that unfolds across cities humming with ambition, monsoon-soaked pavements, and the quiet ache of longing. Rudra Rathore, juggling the dual worlds of corporate diplomacy and grassroots politics, lives a life governed by duty and deadlines. Kavya Kapoor, a rising designer with dreams stitched in colour and courage, is fighting for her place in a cut-throat industry one artisan, one exhibition, one setback at a time.

Their worlds collide on a dating app neither believes in, yet both secretly hope will change everything. What begins as a tentative exchange of messages grows into something deeper conversations steeped in sincerity, shared vulnerabilities, and gentle humour. But love rarely comes neatly packaged. Transport strikes, jealousies, old heartbreaks, and family expectations begin to pull them apart, even as their hearts stubbornly try to mend the seams.

Tender, hopeful, and brimming with the small details that make modern love so complicated and so beautiful, this novel is a celebration of connection in an age of distraction. A reminder that sometimes, the right person arrives when life is most impossible and that love, when honest, demands courage above all.
