What does it mean to be 21 in the 21st century? Ayaan meets Bianca when he is four-years-old. They become the best of friends until a shattering incident pulls their lives apart, and Ayaan is sent to Northbrook College, a boarding school in Ajmer. They write letters to each other throughout their adolescence. Eight years later, he meets her again in the city of dreams. By now, Bianca’s past is an enemy Ayaan cannot defeat. She is tormented by her inner demons, which to Ayaan’s surprise, begin to arouse his dark desires. Shaken and driven by a need to distance himself from her, Ayaan travels to the West for a quest for his own identity. He traverses through the enchanting Canadian Rockies, through the glamourous New York City—through the 21st-century swamp of sex, drugs, and misinformation —and eventually returns to the pristine blue waters of the Andaman Islands. His journey leads him to a new understanding of one’s purpose in life, and what it means to come of age. What the Young Don’t Tell is a story that reveals the psyche of the new youth and bridges the communication gap with the elders. It illuminates the hidden spiritual path from the clutches of the modern-day Matrix to the bliss of Nirvana.
