A. S. Rajangam

A. S. Rajangam, born Arun Shourie, honors his father’s legacy by adopting his name as a writer. Raised in Villupuram, a small town in Tamil Nadu, India, he grew up with stories of resilience and adaptation, as his father was a repatriate from Sri Lanka. Inspired by these roots and a childhood fascination with flight sparked by cartoons like Talespin and Swat Kats, he pursued his dream of becoming an aerospace engineer. Today, he works at Airbus in Munich, Germany, as the first engineer in his family.

In his late teens, writing became a personal refuge. His journal, Alone in the Crowd, captured pivotal moments in his life through short stories that reflected his unique worldview. What began as a private outlet soon attracted the curiosity of family and friends, who couldn’t resist secretly reading his entries. While they teased him at first, their growing intrigue and impatience to know “what happens next” revealed the power of his storytelling. Their enthusiasm, though playful, became a source of positive energy, encouraging him to channel his introspection into fiction writing and reimagine life as a series of compelling narratives.

Living by the philosophy, “Fear Nothing! Love Everything!!,” A. S. Rajangam believes that true love and understanding thrive only in the absence of fear. His writing challenges readers to reflect deeply, embrace vulnerability, and find clarity amid life’s chaos. Through a minimalist and thought-provoking approach, he inspires introspection and a courageous reimagining of the boundaries of possibility.
