Autorenporträt
The life goes on... It's a journey which every mortal takes. Many just survive. Many live it. A few attempt to understand it, a few derive a meaning out of it and a very few stop by and put it together for others to be sensitized and these very few are the revolutionaries called writers. The writer that I know is a flow which is unstoppable, unfathomable, and eternal. His being comes with a destined and predefined role for the communities and generations alike. I am humbled and pleased to introduce Sh. Shivcharan Jaggi Kussa ji, the man who is thoughtful, the writer who is bold and vociferous, and a person who is so approachable and amenable. He comes from Punjab, India, and so is the vivid reflection seen in the novels and stories written by him. The characters and incidents are portrayed as seen and observed by him, without twisting or bending them. His stories, satires and poems have been widely published internationally and they revolve around social issues, orthodox beliefs and identity sought within communities.
