Prateek Arora, an 11th standard student in DPS RK Puram recently released the Reviewer's Edition of his first book “Village No. 1104”. The book revolves around a professor- Abhimanyu and 4 students- Sid, Priya, Rishabh and Murari who face different kinds of pressures in their lives. This pressure takes them away from the path they had always dreamt of. Circumstances alter the course of their life and they find themselves in Village 1104 where they realize what they were born for. The book shows how the children turn a village that was not even significant enough to get a name of its own, into a name known by everybody in India. It demonstrates the difference between following YOUR dream and following SOMEONE ELSE’S. It shows the difference between the road YOU want to go on and the road THAT WAS SHOWN TO YOU.

Prateek is one of the youngest authors in India. His desire to voice the mindset of the children at his stage and to bring about a change in the society have been the reason for writing this book. He has been associated with NGOs working for street children and has now formed his own NGO - SPIRIT. He has also received a blue coat and a blue tie from his school for academic excellence and was recently a part of the "Runners Up" team all over Asia in the Asian Regional Space Settlement Design Competition held by ATLANTIS. Apart from his contribution to society, Prateek is also a C++ programmer and a trained Western Vocal Singer.
