Author Bio
Financial management was Rajiv Mittal’s academic pursuit, but his true passion for writing was fuelled by the rich tapestry of cultures he encountered during his extensive career in the Middle East. After years of climbing the corporate ladder, he peered over the edge and saw…well, a ladder. His two self-published novels, “Brahmahatya” and “The Panchatheertha Part 1,” received critical praise, but even his friends and family honed their skills of “polite evasiveness” when it came to purchasing them. Eight years ago, he landed in Australia. Aussie self-deprecating humour, with its quirky, offensive charm and disarming positivity, has become his unexpected muse.
