Piyush Mahiskey is a novelist and Technology Architect based in Nagpur, India. A graduate of S.F.S. High School, YCCE College (B.E. in Electrical Engineering), and BITS Pilani (M.Tech. in Software Systems), he blends technical clarity with literary restraint to craft fiction that listens more than it speaks. His debut novel, Durga in Nigeria, explores diaspora rituals, emotional inheritance, and the quiet reckoning of identity through a lens that refuses spectacle. Set against the backdrop of Navratri and Dusshera in a Nigerian city, the novel is a meditation on silence, memory, and myth—written with cadence, not confession. His second work, IX B – The Fragile Heart of an Achiever, turns inward to the corridors of his own school days. Set in the academic year 2005–06 at SGS High School in Nagpur, it is a coming-of-age narrative that confronts bullying, friendship, and resilience. Through ordinary scenes—chalk dust, stolen workbooks, laughter under the Reetha tree—the novel reveals how quiet courage and humour can transform trauma into growth. By day, Piyush leads digital transformation initiatives at Infosys Nagpur, where his expertise in full-stack development and software architecture informs his narrative structure. By night, he writes with emotional precision, often revising deep into the quiet hours. His creative process is iterative and uncompromising, shaped by a deep respect for earned revelation and psychological inevitability. Rooted in Nagpur’s cultural geography, Piyush sees literature not as performance but as emotional architecture. He draws inspiration from festivals like Pola, Marbat, and Navratri—not as backdrops, but as metaphors for catharsis and continuity. With Durga in Nigeria and IX B – The Fragile Heart of an Achiever, Piyush offers stories that honour silence, confront cruelty, and celebrate the fragile yet enduring heart of human resilience.
