The author before the universe

Every work begins with a question one could not leave unanswered.

I am a Software Technology Enabler and Corporate Trainer by profession. As an author, I return to India's epics not to repeat familiar stories, but to examine the choices, silences and human contradictions hidden inside them.

The flagship world

The war is remembered.
The world before it is remembered.
The price it left behind is forgotten.

The Lost Epic restores the generations of oaths, ambitions and impossible choices that carried Aryavart towards Kurukshetra.
