Puru's Wisdom - Puru's Bench Paperback

Sixteen-year-old Aarav isn't failing at life.His grades are fine.
His friends are fine.
Home is fine.So why does everything suddenly feel heavier than it should?Between classrooms, football games, unfinished conversations, family expectations, and the growing pressure of the future, Aarav begins drifting through days that no longer feel as simple as they once did.Then he discovers an old wooden bench beneath a tree near the school field.What begins as a quiet place to sit slowly becomes something more-a pause from the noise, a place for conversations that matter, and an unexpected friendship with Puru, an older student who seems to understand questions nobody else notices.Thoughtful, emotionally honest, and quietly powerful, Puru's Bench is a contemporary coming-of-age novel about growing up, friendship, family, pressure, and the unfinished process of becoming who we are.Perfect for readers who enjoy reflective young adult fiction, meaningful friendships, and stories that stay with them long after the final page.
