About the AuthorBorn in Baramulla, Kashmir, Manav Kaul grew up in Hoshangabad, Madhya Pradesh. In 2004, a dream named Aranya was born. Under the able direction of Manav, with plays like Shakkar Ke Paanch Daane and Park, Aranya quickly carved a niche in the theater circuit in India and abroad. In the play Yellow Scooter Wala Manav, Manav adopted that poetic tone and style in his writing, which critics compared to the writing style of Nirmal Verma and Vinod Kumar Shukla. Film career started in 2003 with Jajanatram Mamantram. His performance in the film Kai Po Che, released in 2013, was highly appreciated. This year his performances on the big screen with Wazir and Jaigangaajal are being talked about. Right behind you is not only Manav Kaul's first story-collection, but also an important milestone in his creative journey.
