In a quiet village surrounded by mountains and rivers, life moves in calm and familiar circles. Seasons come and go, work begins and ends, and everyone seems content to follow the same gentle rhythm. But for young Arin, that rhythm feels like a cage. While others find comfort in the known, he feels the pull of something far away, the whisper of the river, the shimmer of a distant star, the promise of the unknown.
One night, strange signs begin to appear: a glowing bird by the river, a falling star across the sky. They awaken something deep within Arin, a voice that urges him to leave behind the safety of his village and step into a world beyond the hills. To follow that call means walking into the wild, into silence and mystery, where every step will test his courage and his faith. To stay means turning away from the fire that burns within him.
“The Boy Who Walked North” is a story about wonder, courage, and the search for meaning. It is a journey through forests, rivers, and dreams, where nature becomes both guide and mirror, teaching Arin that the path forward is also a path inward.
Told in rich yet simple language, this coming-of-age tale blends myth, reflection, and beauty. It speaks to anyone who has ever felt the quiet pull of something greater, reminding us that every step into the unknown is also a step toward becoming who we truly are.

Kunal Tondare
Kunal Tondare, an alumnus of the Indian Institute of Management, Calcutta, has spent over 15 years working with leading multinational corporations, navigating the complex worlds of business, leadership, and human ambition. Beyond the boardrooms, he is an avid investor with a deep interest in patterns — in markets, in people, and in life itself.
The Boy Who Walked North grew from his reflections on ambition, stillness, and the search for meaning in a fast-moving world. His years of observing how people pursue success, lose balance, and rediscover purpose shaped the themes that run through Arin’s journey.
His love for storytelling comes from the same curiosity that guides his professional life: the search for meaning in motion, for wisdom in everyday choices, and for the quiet truths hidden in journeys, both inner and outer.
The Boy Who Walked North is his first major work of fiction — a meditative tale that blends mythology, introspection, and the timeless pull of purpose into one enduring story of becoming.
