Dara is a story of a legendary boy, which dates back to early 1940s. He is born in a poor family, in a remote village of Vaidan Di Kotli, situated at Indo-Pak border. His life is full of struggle and adventures. He is a fortunate child born in an unfortunate family.


During Indo-Pak partition in 1947, people migrate in large volumes from either sides of the border. Dara’s family settles in a village called Khilchian, 30kms from Amritsar. A school master sees a sparkle in Dara’s eyes and convinces his step-mother to put him in a school, but he finds true friends amidst the immortal elements of nature and animals. Later, the school master encourages him to join the Army.


Dara meets a caring friend in a recruitment camp. After joining his regiment, he discovers a band of brothers…a family beyond blood.


Once, while crossing a graveyard, he gets trapped in a vicious circle. It’s a rendezvous with death. While he is away, his sister, Beero, is forcibly married. Dara sinks in a deep anguish.


Dara falls in love with a beautiful damsel and is submerged into an ocean of romance.

The author was born in a Punjabi family at a place called MHOW (Military Headquarters of War) in India. His father, Mr. Sardari Lal Kundal, was a dynamic personality and a nature-loving man. During the course of his career in the Indian Army, he was awarded with seven bravery medals by the president of India for his valor. His mother, Mrs. Sheela Kundal, a homemaker, assisted his father in all the ups and downs of life. The author has a younger brother, Mr. Sunil; and a sister, Ms. Seema. His father brought another member by train, carrying her in a small bag and feeding her with a milk bottle during the journey. The family was highly excited to welcome this new member – a cute little dog – and named her NOORI.


His father being a defense personnel, the author had a brilliant opportunity to live at several places in India in an army culture. He pursued his education in Bangalore Military School (formerly known as King George School). Here, he had access to varied sports and extracurricular activities, boxing being his favorite. Henceforth, he completed his post-graduation in Geography from HNB Garhwal University. While working for a company in Mumbai, he pursued his Business Management degree from NMIMS.


The author founded his export/import company in 2006 and began travelling to Hong Kong, China, West Africa, Europe, Russia, etc., and gradually expanded his business. Since his childhood, the author was a nature lover, with an artistic bent of mind. Although he used to sketch, paint, and write during school/college days, it was in 2018 that he discovered his hidden talent when one of his manuscripts, Dara, was accepted by world’s leading publishers, Austin Macauley, and they gave him an opportunity as a professional author.


He lives in Mumbai with his beloved mother; a beautiful wife, Purnima; and his two pretty daughters, Ginni and Nikki.
