The New Delhi World Book Fair 2026 welcomes the launch of Dreams Between Classes, a deeply relatable and honest debut by Manish Sai Venati. Tender, reflective, and quietly powerful, this book captures the unspoken emotions of teenage life—the thoughts that live between lessons, between conversations, and between who we are and who we hope to become.
This is a story for anyone who has ever felt unseen, unsure, yet quietly determined to dream.
About the Book
Between silence and noise.
Between doubt and ambition.
Between who you are now and who you might become.
Dreams Between Classes explores the invisible spaces of student life—those moments when the classroom empties, the bell rings, and thoughts finally have room to breathe. This book is not about being the best or winning at life. It is about being real.
Through simple yet evocative storytelling, the book speaks about:
- Carrying dreams that feel too heavy to share
- Holding onto hope when no one else notices
- Navigating self-doubt, ambition, friendships, and identity
- Growing quietly, without applause
Honest and heartfelt, this book gives voice to emotions many feel but rarely express. It reminds readers that even in ordinary days, something meaningful is unfolding.
