Down The Road
Editors: Ahmed Faiyaz and Roshini Kejriwal 

What is about our school and college days that are so amazing? Down the Road explores this very notion of campus life, the pivotal time when we are most vulnerable; when with a sense of belonging and camaraderie, we undergo the experiences that shape our lives. The various stories in the book take the reader on an emotional rollercoaster ride. They capture the insecurity, fear, need to fit in, and the desire for one look from that special someone. Characters remind you real people. Stories are rooted in real-life experiences: ‘The Music Room’ by Trivedi, for instance, explores the taboo relationship between a boy and his teacher without undue sensationalism. The characters are brought to life with vibrant details and sensitivity. All in all definitely worth a read! – By Priyanka Mehra – Rs – 192
