Description

Ever been in love? Ever lost in deceit? What happened after this? Got back to life or lost track of your day to those who stood against you? Eleventh Row is firstly; a novel and secondly; a wonderful gift if you look forward to convey all that you were feeling in that moment for the one who made your heart skip a beat.

How often do you find yourself looking back at that photograph that you have been carrying in your phone case? Is that from your room’s polaroid wall? How frequently does it trigger your past? Do you still carry it along? Despite the triggers? Vihaan does. Furthermore, he refuses to accept this.

He visits his ancestral house in the hills of Shimla every year. Anahita, his childhood friend hates this city for the same that he visits for. The last time Dhairya visited this place; it was in 2018 and this is also why Vihaan believes that love is abstract. That, it doesn’t exist.

Anahita believes in conviction but when this place tries to dismantle Vihaan’s every action, his every intention; she didn’t reciprocate the love which had turned profoundly political. Rather, she changed the narrative to make him accept the duality of the possibility of things not happening while navigating through his dilemma of letting himself submit to the oppressive randomness which came along his memories and this city.

Would Anahita again manipulate him into believing that love exists? After all these years, will this love again and only be discrete and occasional?
