Mayur Madhekar

Mayur Madhekar is an IT engineer from Pune. He wrote his debut novel, Life has a Song for Everyone, when he was twenty, and his second book, Journey to Rest in Peace, follows one ordinary man through the afterlife in twenty-one poems.

Music runs through much of his writing, and he often turns to poetry to say what prose can’t. Away from work you’ll find him playing guitar or picking up something new, from magic tricks to dance. He sees happiness and sadness as equal parts of growing, and his poems move between the two: love and longing, family, faith, and the lines society draws between people.
