Third Button
The atrocity of ragging and simmering desire for revenge on a bully senior. A town vandalized and the future at stake. The 'purchi' escapade and the masterplan of cheating in examination. The tough luck with placement and peer pressure. The quirky group of friends and the never-ending banters. A girl...Or wait, is it two girls? And the pursuit of love. Beset with the troubles of an Engineering College, a boy who is like a frog in the shallow pond afraid to swim in the deep ocean, takes a plunge, submerges at one time and emerges at the other time, faces his fears and embraces the tears, to at-last learn an important lesson. The lesson of life.

About the author
Rohit Dharupta
3 books6 followersRohit Dharupta was born and raised in Shimla, where he studied. He completed Engineering at the National Institute of Technology (NIT) in Rourkela, India. Presently, Rohit is working for a global company in Montreal, Canada.
Rohit’s work, particularly in storytelling, spans a range of emotions and themes, from the innocence of youth to the complexities of protecting loved ones in the face of adversity.
His debut book, Third Button, takes readers back to the carefree days of college life, narrating a story filled with humor, nostalgia, and personal growth. Rohit describes this book as a path from being a boy full of hope to a man with belief—a transformation many can relate to as they reflect on their own journeys from youth to adulthood.
In Order of the World, his second novel, Rohit shifts gears into a suspenseful and thrilling narrative, centered on the bond between a mother and her son as they get caught in the unraveling mystery of an unfamiliar world. The book delves deeply into themes of love, sacrifice, and a mother’s fierce resolve to protect her family from looming threats.
The sequel, Disorder of the World, takes the stakes higher. It explores not just love and loss but also resilience and vengeance, as the family faces even darker challenges. With a narrative that’s as emotionally complex as it is action-packed, the Order series offers a thrilling ride through the tangled threads of family, duty, and survival.

Engrossing and down to earth
Book talks about the Engineering college life of a simple boy, but leaves a big impact. Though written in sequential and linear style, very much engaging and engrossing. Not only Engineering college, this would appeal to you if you had studied staying in a campus or hostel environment. Thoroughly enjoyed it and compared & related to my college life at several instances. Kudos to the author.

I have read this in my Semester-8 of BTech. I related most parts of it: except girls and fights. The comedy parts in this book worked well. In addition to comedy there are life lessons too. In the end, our protagonist also won the heart of the most beautiful girl in his year.
