Subrat SaurabhAuthor of Kuch Woh PalMain chupchaap usko dekhta raha, akhir kaise bhi time to pass karna hi tha. main kafi pareshan bhi tha aur thaka bhi, office se bhi bina bataye chutti le li thi, toh wahan se bhi phone aa rahe the. Achanak us ladki ka koi rishteydar counter par aa gaya, aur usse baatein karne laga, wo shayad kisi wajah se wahan rukna chahti thi. Tabhi usne kaha "abba aap bass chaliye, hum abhi aatein hain," uski awaaz par mera dhyan gaya, wo kuch aur bolti usse pahle usne meri tarah gaur se dekha. Maine Rahat ki tasveer se uska chehra milane ki koshish ki. "Arey haan, ye to wahi hai". Lekin nishchit taur par nahin kaha sakte kyunki koi aur nikli to museebat ho jayegi.
Rohit Garg
Rohit Garg, an entrepreneur, has been an avid observer and a story creator since his childhood. He would look at life from a perspective to transform every possible moment into a story at the back of his mind. Born and brought up in Meerut, UP in semi-urban living conditions, he only had options of exploration, rather than possessing story books. The first time he read a Hindi magazine, he realized that he had found his inspiration to express his thoughts through the stories he was creating. And it was then that he wrote his initial pieces of poetry. Reading books by Ruskin Bond, Harivansh Rai Bachchan and Mohan Rakesh had given him enough encouragement to write down the emerging emotions inside him, and to fulfill a dream of being an author.
As a person, I have known Rohit since 2012. In the last five years, I have seen in him the sparks of carving out his own niche in the world through his experiences from childhood to until he grew old enough to metacognize and introspect. The best part of this book is that I knew most of the stories over these years I have known him. And that was enough to prod him to present this book to the world today.
