ⓘ About Mainak Dhar
Mainak Dhar works in a cubicle during the day and writes at night, and he spends his time with his wife, Puja, and their son Aaditya, as well as his laptop. He has lived much of his life in India, having been born there. He has spent fifteen years outside of the country. The first work he had “published” was a stapled collection of poems and Maths solutions (he felt no one would pay for his poems by themselves). These he sold to his fellow classmates for fifty cents in Grade 7 and spent the money he made on comics and ice cream. Ever since he was a kid, he loved storytelling. He had an imaginary friend that sat next to him while he was in class and penned a diary about the end of the world and buried it in the garden, allowing future historians to find it.
