Mr. Monish Kumar Kupendra is a conservation biologist, storyteller, and passionate field researcher who has spent years immersed in the forests of South India. His work centers on the lives of elephants and the intricate web of interactions that define the wild. Deeply committed to conservation both in practice and philosophy, Monish believes that real education begins beyond the four walls of a classroom. His motto being simple yet powerful is to drag the students out of boring classrooms and into the open fields. For him, nature is the ultimate classroom, one that opens minds, humbles hearts, and inspires responsibility. Through his writing and fieldwork, he strives to be an eye-opener for the younger generation, urging them to witness the rhythms of the natural world firsthand. Monish firmly believes that every human being on this planet has a role to play in conservation, not just scientists and activists, but each individual, in their own way. This book is an extension of that belief which is a story crafted to stir empathy, raise questions, and awaken a deeper connection with the wild.

I?m Vasudevan ? a poet, storyteller, and lifelong observer of change. I grew up in a world lit by black-and-white televisions and rooftop antennas, a time when technology was tactile and dreams had the smell of ink and paper. Today, I navigate the fast currents of digital advertising, creating narratives that cut through noise. I've been in this industry for over two decades, watching it evolve from ?idiot boxes? to intelligent algorithms. And through it all, I?ve kept writing.I?ve self-published five books ? two poetry collections in Tamil, one in English, a novel, and a short story collection, both in English. My poetry speaks from the gut, rooted in language and memory. My fiction stretches across timelines, blending ancient Indian traditions with imagined futures. In my stories, myth walks beside machine, and dharma meets dystopia. This fusion is my way of contributing to the Indic Renaissance ? not as a scholar, but as a storyteller grounded in the spirit of Bharath.Chennai is home. The city?s contradictions ? tradition woven into modern life, chaos balanced by culture ? have shaped my voice. I write for readers who still believe in rhythm, in silence between words, in meaning that doesn?t have to shout. Whether it's verse or prose, my goal is simple: to move someone. To make them stop and feel something real.I don?t chase trends, but I don?t shy away from them either. I believe in bridging worlds ? old and new, native and global, spiritual and secular. That?s the thread running through my work. From writing copy that sells products to crafting poems that speak truths, my life has always circled around words.What keeps me going? Curiosity. Wonder. The quiet belief that stories still matter ? especially in a world overloaded with information and starving for insight.I?m not here to teach or preach. I?m here to create, to remember, to imagine. Whether it's Tamil poetry echoing the voice of the land or English fiction weaving past and present, I write because I must. And I self-publish because I want control ? of my voice, my vision, and the way my words meet the world.This is my path ? messy, evolving, rooted, and reaching. If my writing finds its way into your hands and stays with you for a while, then I've done something right.
