Title: T21 In Downs Lane Author: Utpal Kant Mishra Publisher:  The Write Place Published on: 27 May 2018 Binding:  Paperback ISBN:  978-9387282353 " We are living fiction for everyone and everybody has their own interpretations about us. Every time it is far from reality and so it is not the same.' BLURB Aashima, a young journalist, befriends Jay, a ‘differently different’ son of Ayesha and Siddhartha, who has Down Syndrome. Sid’s diary, which unfolds a completely different world, pulls her deeper into Jay’s emotional turmoil. T21 in Downs Lane is an intensive narrative about the parents' struggle to give birth and raise a child with Trisomy 21. A heart rendering account, it is also a revelation of peoples' perception about Downs Syndrome. Whether it is their disdain, sympathy or curiosity, the author has captured these emotions in a realistic semblance. The insightful and factual information on Down Syndrome adds value to the read.
