Urban Shots: Down the Road is collection of short stories and essays revolving around campus life. It captures the world of classrooms and teachers, but equally it engages with crushes and bullies; the trepidation and confusion associated with one’s first crush; and the triumphs and failures of those wonder years. In the delightful ‘Down the Road’, intimacy is not always lost with time; ‘Learning and Unlearning’ conveys that outer cheer is only a shield for inner fears; and ‘Bollywood on Campus’ is an essay of college life as portrayed by Hindi cinema. Edited by the bestselling author Ahmed Faiyaz and Rohini Kejriwal, this eclectic anthology not only paints in nostalgic colours fond memories of campus life, but also presents those unspoken realities that scar one forever
