About the Author: Mridul Mishra jinka janm Uttar Pradesh ke Raebareli mein 1990 ke dashak ke uttarardh mein ek madhyamvargiya parivaar mein hua ek aise lekhak hain jinki lekhni dil se nikalti hai aur seedha aatma ko choo jaati hai. Bachpan se hi unhe samaj sambandhon aur maanviy bhavnaon ki gehraiyon ko samajhne ki jigyasa rahi hai. Isi jigyasa ne unhe lekhan ki or aakarshit kiya. Shabdon se khelne ki unki kala bachpan se hi jhalakne lagi thi. Lekhan unke liye keval abhivyakti nahi aatma-anveshan ka madhyam ban gaya. Unhone Jeevandhara; aur Anndata; jaise upanyaason ke madhyam se saamajik yatharth kisaan jeevan aur maanviy sangharshon ko behad prabhavshaali dhang se prastut kiya hai. Unki nai kriti Gathri; paanch naatakon ka aisa sangrah hai jo paathakon ko hansi aansoo aur aatmchintan ki ek saanjha yatra par le jaata hai. Ye naatak keval kahaniyaan nahi hain balki samaj soch aur rishhton ka aaina hain. Mridul Mishra ka maanna hai ki sahitya ka kaarya sirf manoranjan nahi balki parivartan ki bhoomika nibhaana bhi hai. Unki rachnaayein humein rukkar sochne mehsoos karne aur khud ko tatolne ke liye prerit karti hain aur yahi ek sacche lekhak ki pehchaan hai.
