Arjit Anand Talks About His Book “Pulaavi Khayaal”
About the Author:
Arjit is from Bihar, but his childhood carried him to the quiet charm of Ranikhet in the Himalayas and later to Bokaro—where he met his high school sweetheart, now his wife and the mother of their twins. By profession, he is a product manager who enjoys turning problems into possibilities, always looking for creative ways forward. That same creativity flows into writing, and this book is one such attempt. Off work, you’ll often find him playing or watching cricket, going for a run, or lost in a good biography—constantly searching for stories that move and inspire.
