My name is Apoorv Anand.
I’m a 24-year-old student of M.A. in English.
Born and raised in Patna, Bihar
I love reading books, watching series and movies, playing badminton and creating my own literary pieces.
Here is my story :
As a child, I would enjoy my time watching cartoons and reading storybooks and then creating my versions of the stories in my notebooks. Stories about heroes, villains, wars and adventures. In my school days, English was the subject most liked by me as I could relate it to the stuff I watched. Dickens, Shakespeare, Robert Frost, etc are some names that were familiar to me since then. But before and even after all this, I maintained focus on translated works of Indian writers like Premchand and various holy texts including the Bhagavad Gita and the two great Epics, which have been major influences on my beliefs and way of thinking. Literature, to sum it up in one word, has always been more than an academic pursuit for me; it is a way of understanding the world, questioning it, and sometimes gently reshaping it through words. Like the works of Camus, Dostoevsky, Paulo Coelho, George Orwell and more, I also dwell on the meaning of life, how it works, what dangers lie in it and how to make the best of it.
So, eventually I began writing my own stories, poems, and reflective pieces that emerge from lived experiences and quiet observations. My writings explore themes of spirituality, the complexity of everyday life, and the subtle yet powerful currents of social change. I am deeply interested in how individuals grow within society — how faith, doubt, struggle, and hope shape our inner worlds. So, my stories and poems are reflections of the surroundings that I have lived in. They are about good and bad days. About ideas and beliefs that shape humanity. Some even about the tiny miracles of life that many seem to ignore.
I wouldn’t call myself a wise old man yet. Being in my twenties, I find myself constantly learning, unlearning, and rediscovering perspectives. I see problems in the world and try to understand what causes those problems, trying my best to keep every aspect behind in check, and seeing how those problems can be solved. Writing becomes my way of processing this journey. Some pieces are introspective and meditative; others question structures, traditions, and the norms we inherit. For me, there is still much to learn and see. Within me, there is a desire to seek meaning — both personal and collective.
This blog is my space to reflect, to experiment, and to connect. I keep my works here, for all to see and judge for themselves. They can question and be inspired, depending on however they feel about my writings. If my words resonate with your own experiences of searching, believing, questioning, or evolving, then I am more than grateful that you are here.
Welcome to my world.
