Three Flights Down

by Ajay Kumar

Three Flights Down is a pure work of fiction that bears little or no resemblance to events in real life. After all, which fiction novelist is going to say his book is based on a true story? I for example, clearly am not. But if you, the reader, have by chance picked up this book, know this. This book is about love. Not the kind of love that we see every day, but a different kind of love, a love that finds place in-between sheets and in between friendships. It is about a city and it is about a society that is yet to come to terms with the fact that its era has long gone while yet remaining hopeful for a future which is yet to come. It’s a story about people who live in a city and get trapped by the sheer emotional whirlwind that comes with it. It also has jokes.

Full Disclosure: There might be a tiny bit of bias to my review. I know the author personally.

This book is about people, inter-personal relationships and emotions. They talk, they hang out, they make mistakes and they make big life decisions. Each of the characters could be people you know, who have sat next to you on the bus or the guys smoking you have been observing in your peripheral field of vision that you think looks interesting. For a first time author, it is written well and in an easily consumable form. Overall, an enjoyable read!
