Born in 1973, Dr. Aman Singh Maharaj primarily lives in Durban, South Africa, in a home overlooking the picturesque Indian Ocean. Besides spending a considerable amount of time in India, annually, he considers himself a nomad, also travelling the rest of the globe. Taking an avid interest in anthropology, he never ceases to be enthralled with the sheer kaleidoscope of cultures, diversity and architectural marvels that the world has to offer.

Having first graduated with an Honours degree in Structural Engineering, he continued with an MBA and then a PhD in Development Studies, working in a multitude of diverse professions before finally choosing to become an entrepreneur. Quite enamoured by the concept of ‘magical realism’, he also decided to enter the literary realm.

He also writes articles on various subjects for national newspapers, focusing mainly on the Indian
Diaspora, but he has now also forayed into more culturally generic topics.
