The author, 64, a native of Sri Ganganagar, Rajasthan, is a B.E. (Civil) by qualification and retired as an RTS Revenue Officer. He considers himself more of a storyteller than a writer, weaving his tales and poems during the quiet hours of dawn. As he fondly says, “At wee hours of the morning, when the mind sleeps and the heart is awake, I and my characters are on the same page, talking to each other like children do. What they tell becomes my stories and poems.” Apart from writing, cycling is his second love. He believes in keeping his work simple, heartfelt, and easy to understand.
