The author – Vijay Kumar was born in undivided India at a time when partition
was at its peak. The family then settled in Agra and he completed most of his
primary education in various “Madarsas” between Delhi and Meerut, hence he
was exposed to Urdu language and developed a flavour for same. This later
gave him spirit to use this language in his writing. Thereafter, when family
finally settled in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, he developed traits of a writer as most of
the time would be spent in library reading all kinds of books in many languages
including but not limited to fiction, non-fiction, Novels, Biographies, History,
etc. All this nurtured the curator and creator in him until finally he decided to
pen them down in the second innings of life after satiating all social obligations
and having time for a peaceful conversation with self.
