About the Author :
The author was in the eleventh standard when he first attempted to write a short story. When he went to his art teacher with his, presumably, a masterpiece. The teacher's first comment was "You are overusing the word 'said'." And ever since then he determined to write his first novel without using the word 'said' even once. And here it is! The Other Class Of Human Beings; the author's first novel. The author considers himself lucky to have been born in a small village in Rajasthan state, India, without which, he says, he wouldn't have been able to learn to love mother nature and go deep down in people's lives. Photography and writing, he feels, are integral parts of his emotional world. The author generally writes about politics and social issues on many independent platforms. Although, the author does not consider himself a complete writer yet due to his own unique definition of 'a complete writer', what, the author believes, stands him in the center of a specific class of writers' society is his own unsteady, challenging, and a wanderer kind of life which, he says, provides him the best tool to know more about people and their lives.
