A lifetime of technology, travel, and curiosity — and the stories found along the way.
Where reason and emotion collide
V. A. Kalki was born in India and educated in England, where he cultivated a deep appreciation for both technology and the arts. Although his professional journey led him to the field of software engineering, his love for creative expression has always been a central part of his life.
For over thirty years, he has lived and worked in the United States, balancing the precision of his technical career with the freedom and imagination that comes from writing and exploring new ideas. His experiences across different cultures and environments have provided him with a rich perspective, which he weaves into his creative work.
An insatiable traveler, Kalki has covered almost three million miles over the past two decades, often drawing inspiration from the many places he's visited. Yet, it’s not just the destinations that inspire him — it’s the journeys themselves.
He finds a unique sense of calm and clarity while flying at 30,000 feet, where the constraints of the cabin allow his mind to wander freely. In those quiet moments high above the world, Kalki does some of his best thinking, transforming fleeting thoughts into stories and ideas that resonate with readers around the globe.
