Rajesh Joshi was born and brought up in Jhulaghat in Himalayan region of Uttarakhand state. Since his school days he has written poems and prose while being brought up alongside river Mahakali, the mountains and rich flora & fauna of Himalayas. So the nature, river and search of self have been the key themes of his poems. In his own words “poem touches a common chord when it resonates with other person’s feeling as words give similar expressions to feelings”.
