Somewhere along the way, we forgot. We forgot the soul of our stories. We forgot that our past wasn’t just myth—it was memory.


The India we pass down to our children today is often filtered through foreign eyes, flattened into dates and dynasties, or dismissed as mythology.

What gets left out? The spirit. The depth. The dharma. The resilience. The truth.


That’s why I wrote The Harmony Six.

Not as a fantasy. Not as fiction. But as a call to remember.

Why did I start writing

A Story of Six Children, and a Country Remembering Itself


The Harmony Six is the story of six ordinary kids swept into extraordinary circumstances. Through an unexpected adventure, they uncover the past—not just to learn it, but to ask the right questions and become a bridge to a future that still holds dharma dear.

The series began with a simple yet powerful question:

What if children could learn history—not in textbooks, but through experience?

In the first book, the children are drawn into a world of truths the modern world often forgets or ignores. Along the way, they learn about Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the Iron Man of India. A statesman. A unifier. A hero whose story has often been pushed to the margins of our popular imagination. Through this journey, the children begin to understand him—not as a distant leader, but as a living symbol of courage, dharma, and unwavering clarity.

But their path doesn’t end there.


The next book takes them further back. Much further.

To one of the oldest times in our civilizational memory.

A time when the lines between man and divinity blurred.

When forests whispered stories of exile, ashrams, war, and the testing of ideals.


I won’t say more just yet…But if you’ve ever sat beside your grandmother as she whispered tales that began with “There once lived a prince…” — you may already know the story.


Only this time, we will not just follow the prince.

We will also follow the one who walked beside him. The one who waited, endured, questioned, and still chose grace over rage.


The Patriot Series — Restoring Forgotten Indian Heroes and Their Stories


Alongside The Harmony Six, I’m also creating a companion project: The Patriot Series.


These are the stories of Forgotten Indian warriors without swords. Saints without followers. Scientists without statues. Real people. Real legacies. And often, real silence.


Each book in this series will spotlight heroes who shaped the very soul of Bharat—through their ideas, sacrifices, and unshakable dharma.


A Story Meant to Be Told Together


I don’t just want you to read these stories—I hope you’ll tell them. To your children. To your parents. To your friends.


I hope a child reads The Harmony Six and brings it to the dinner table. I hope a mother remembers something her grandmother once told her, and tells it anew. Because when stories live in families—not just in books—they grow roots.


These books are meant to be shared, spoken aloud, questioned, and kept alive—across generations.


What You’ll Find Here


This blog is where I’ll share:

  • Reflections on the books and their deeper meanings

  • Forgotten wisdom from Indian history and scripture

  • Explorations of dharma, seva, and swatantrata

  • Thoughts for parents, educators, and young seekers


But more importantly, this space is an invitation.

An invitation to:

  • Share your own ideas

  • Co-create and co-author future stories

  • Join a growing circle of people committed to remembering what truly matters


Come, Sit By the Fire


Let’s journey together—into memory, myth, and meaning. Let’s raise children who aren’t just proud of where they come from…But who understand it. And carry it forward.


The future belongs to those who remember where they came from—and choose to carry that wisdom with grace.
