34/100: An Edge of Almost (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789370189973)

This is the story of a boy navigating college life, shadowed by near wins and quiet losses. He is forever almost-scoring 34 out of 100, just one step short of success, recognition, or being truly loved.

He plays football, studies hard, and even falls in love-yet success eludes him. With Rohan and Nikhil beside him through bunked lectures, heartbreaks, and last-minute studies, his silent longing remains: to be seen, to matter, to finally succeed.

Football is his refuge, love is his secret, and doubt is his shadow. When he finally gathers the courage to speak his truth, it only deepens the silence around him. Why do rain and memories sting the same? Why does he always miss the mark by just one point?

He's not seeking sympathy-just one more chance. One breakthrough. One reason to believe there's life beyond being "almost."
