Saurabh Kesarwani hails from Prayagraj, the city where rivers and reflections converge. A Mechanical Engineering graduate with a Master’s in Economics, he is a civil services aspirant and is currently engaged with the Uttar Pradesh Social Welfare Department.

Temporary Death Leave is his debut work — a satirical yet deeply human meditation on stress, karma, and the search for peace in a chaotic world. Through it, Saurabh reflects on life, death, and the quiet spaces in between, exploring themes of inner calm, lifelong learning, and the courage to face impermanence.

When not writing, he spends time in quiet reflection, observing life’s ironies, and finding meaning in small everyday moments.
