"Third Button creates commotion in social media, makes readers nostalgic about their college life."-The Tribune
Aahan, a homesick boy with a heart full of nostalgia, embarks on a life-changing journey, one that begins with excitement and ends in hardship, but ultimately brings profound self-discovery.
When his father accompanies him to a distant city for admission into a prestigious Engineering college, Aahan's dreams seem within reach. The promise of a bright future, however, is quickly overshadowed by the harsh realities of hostel life-bullying, isolation, and the relentless pressure to succeed. As he battles the emotional toll of being away from home, his desire for revenge against a ruthless senior who torments him simmers beneath the surface.
But there's also light in the darkness. Amid the chaos, Aahan finds solace in his friends-quirky, carefree, and full of infectious laughter. Still, the journey is not without its trials. Unrequited love and the complexities of his emotions leave him feeling lost and confused. One fateful celebration with his friends spirals into a nightmare, deepening his misery.
When a reckless act of vandalism puts his future at risk, Aahan realizes that the stakes are higher than ever. His future, his friendships, and even his placement prospects hang in the balance. Misery reloads, but so does his determination to fight.
Battling with the true meaning of success and failure, amidst the deep emotions evoked by love and hate, does Aahan finally learn the lesson of life?
