About the Author
Karthik, the author of this engaging narrative, hails from the rustic charm of Baguru, a village not far from Hosadurga Town. This scenic locale is cradled by a serene lake, verdant fields, and is steeped in history, boasting 101 temples erected by dynasties from the Cholas to the Hoysalas.
A staunch patriot, Karthik holds his country and personal ideologies in the highest regard.
During his formative years, the allure of IITs, civil services, and high-paying jobs captivated his imagination. However, it was a simple assignment from his English teacher—to pen a poem after studying “The Duck and the Kangaroo”—that ignited his literary journey in the ninth grade.
Since that pivotal moment, his devotion to writing has only intensified, with each piece aiming to eclipse the last. Karthik is currently immersed in the study of Ayurveda at the SDM Institute of Ayurveda and Hospital in Bengaluru, Karnataka.
His academic odyssey began at VVNS in Bagur, continued at SDA Hosadurga, and furthered at Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya in Chitradurga, with his collegiate chapters penned at Narayana.
Beyond academia, his interests are diverse, yet deeply rooted in Indology, history, polity, governance, international relations, and public policy, with a particular zeal for unraveling the tapestries of history.
Even with such intellectual pursuits, he finds time to indulge in various sports—a testament to his belief in a well-rounded life.
Karthik’s aspirations are as heartfelt as they are ambitious: to make his parents proud by achieving his dreams, to create a ripple effect of change through his writings, to one day be ensconced among a sea of books bearing his name, and to devote himself to the service of his beloved motherland.
A man of contrasts, he relishes gently roasting his close companions as much as he reveres the tranquility of historical sites and temples—sanctuaries where he feels a profound connection to his ancestors. Karthik’s persona is a blend of lighthearted jest and solemn dedication, embodying both the joy of life and the gravity of his commitments.
Engaging and lively, Karthik is known to be the life of any gathering. Yet, he wields a serious demeanor when it comes to his duties, the nation, and his aspirations.
