Manoj Pandey

Manoj Pandey wears many hats.

As a literary writer, he has written three fictions and a poem collection. A atory book, written long back, is out of print. He has also written a number of short stories and poems for print and online publications.

His fiction, The Final Shot, is a crime mystery. Not a gory, blood filled novel but one that explores how relationships shatter when selfishness, greed and ego attack them. A story of betrayals, unfilled vows, and unkept loyalties.

Revenge is a novel charting an orphan's journey from a Himalayan hamlet to Delhi's underworld and corrupt businesses. He must get his challenger - an honest municipal officer - brutally murdered. Does he do it, and how?

Illusion is a paranormal novel, visiting different worlds existing in parallel to our own world when, in the words of two teenage boys, video games and black magic mix to create an illusion. An added attraction of the novel is rhymes and riddles that are clues to the solution to get out of the multiple existences.

Kalp-naad is his poetry collection in Hindi. The poems range from mundane observations to the search of the ultimate.

He is also an observer of social media and blogging from the early days when Geocities, Squidoo, Orkut and MySpace were the buzzwords. In this field, he has written: *The Manual of Social Media* and *The Manual of Blogging*. The 2nd edition of The Manual of Blogging came out in 2020.

'The Manual of Social Media' fills a big void in the field of social media as there is no reference book available on this online medium of expression and information sharing though it is more than a decade old.

All these books are available on Amazon.

PS: Manoj Pandey's co-authored book, *United Nations in the Service of the Common Man*, is also available on Amazon.
