"I do not write to be understood.
I write so that I may understand
what it means to be alive."
Deepak Lohumi

"बोधिपुरुष न तो संघ गढ़ते हैं और न ही संप्रदायों की परिधि रचते हैं"

Deepak Lohumi was born in the hills of Kumaon, where the Himalayan silence first taught him to listen before he learned to speak. 

He is a full time writer and a part time consultant with a background in Product Management and Learning Technology, and a strong passion for the arts. After leading teams and managing complex programs, he now writes full-time, inspired by Indian history, philosophy, and his travels.

His writing sits at the intersection of Indic philosophy, religion, and the everyday life of ordinary people. 

Deepak brings his experiences in theatre, storytelling, poetry and photography into his writing. He explores both ancient heritage and modern life, always looking at the world through a philosophical lens and a deep curiosity about people’s stories.

He is currently working on a short film screenplay and a new fictional novel set against the backdrop of recent events in Delhi, the United Kingdom, and Uttarakhand.

Purpose imposes limits, whereas possibility leads toward the infinite.

उद्देश्य सीमित कर देता है किंतु संभावना असीम की ओर ले जाती है।
In the glow of the lamps descended a skeletal figure, so emaciated that every rib could be counted. The entire machinery of Kapilavastu lived in fear of this frail, middle-aged man. The nation's greatest enemy was disappearing into the subterranean chamber.

दियों के प्रकाश में हड्डियों का एक ढाँचा उतर रहा था, जिसकी एक-एक पसली गिनी जा सकती थी। कपिलवस्तु का सारा तंत्र इस निर्बल, अधेड़ व्यक्ति से भयग्रस्त था। राष्ट्र का सबसे बड़ा शत्रु भूमिगत कक्ष में विलीन हो रहा था। 
The passage of time is peculiar; it slows in moments of waiting and hastens in moments of joy.

काल की गति भी विचित्र है; प्रतीक्षा में मंद हो जाती है और आनंद में तीव्र। 
Perhaps God is a creation of nature untouched by ego, and thus able to witness this grand dance of existence.

कदाचित् ईश्वर प्रकृति की एक ऐसी रचना हो जिस पर अहंकार हावी ना हो और वह प्रकृति के इस नृत्य को देख सकता हो।
