Maharghya Manas Mandal studies in grade seven at Gujarat Public School, Vadodara, Gujarat. He has seen his father, Manas Mondal, write books, one after the other, till ten, the many that have turned into Amazon bestsellers. Creativity up close made stories seem less like something on a shelf and more like something within arm's reach.
He sat down to write his own story one evening.
In the evening, when IAA founder Sweta Samota Ma’am spoke about Likhega India Mission, Maharghya was sitting beside his father doing school homework while his father attended the session on his laptop. He heard, though he did not mean to… and something clicked. He looked up and asked his father to register his name too. That simple moment became the beginning of his path as a young author.
Maharghya doodles characters and designs worlds in the margins of his notebooks, prefers manga over anything else, disciplined, organized, follows the path of his father, an ex-Indian Navy, whose journey inspired him to think bigger. This work comprises heart curiosity, the silent confidence of someone who believes that he/she is just getting started.
