About the author
The author spent part of his childhood in Kurman (Chaukhutia Ganai), Almora, Uttarakhand, where the natural beauty of the valley, surrounded by dense pine and deodar forests, left a lasting impression. He fondly recalls the saffron evenings of the village.
During his school days in Delhi, he often visited the nearby Delhi Public Library, spending hours immersed in the works of Premchand, Shakespeare, Shivani Pant, and others.
After taking voluntary retirement from his banking job, his passion for writing surged like the waves of the blue ocean. His poems were published on prominent Hindi websites like Kavya Kosh, Sahitya Manjari, and Story Mirror. His story "Chhotu Tea Corner" won first prize on Story Mirror, and he was nominated for the "Story Mirror Author of the Year Award" in 2021 and 2022.
His poetry collections "Chandni" and "Meri Deewangi" were followed by award-winning short stories. Now, Dr. Ekant Negi presents his first novel, "रेगिस्तान का कैक्टस."
