Nikhil Khare is an officer of the Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS 2019) and the author of seventeen books spanning literary fiction, philosophy, history, and contemporary affairs. His writing explores the intersection of psychology, spirituality, politics, and the quiet complexities of ordinary life. In The Insomniac's Gospel, he turns inward, drawing on years of reflection to examine sleeplessness, faith, grief, hope, and the search for meaning. His work is marked by a contemplative style that blends literary storytelling with philosophical inquiry, inviting readers to linger with life's deepest questions rather than rush toward easy answers.
