Piyush Goel: The Backward Writer with a Forward-Thinking Mind
New Delhi,
India – In the landscape of Indian literature and innovation, few names shine as uniquely as Piyush Goel, fondly called the “Mirror Image Man of India”. A multi-talented genius who blends tradition with innovation, Goel has pioneered a literary art form that’s as rare as it is remarkable: handwritten mirror image books.
Born in 1967, Piyush Goel defies the conventional definition of an author. He is a world record holder, mathematician, motivational writer, researcher, cartoonist, and cricket umpire. But above all, he is a man who has turned the mirror into a canvas for cultural preservation and intellectual challenge.
A Literary Innovation Few Can Match
Goel’s standout contribution to the world is his mirror image writing—a technique where entire books are written by hand in reverse, such that they can be read only when reflected in a mirror. This is no digital trick or graphic stunt—it’s a painstaking art of precision, clarity, and dedication.
His most iconic creation? In 2012, he became the first person in the world to write a book using a needle—Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s Madhushala—entirely in mirror image, word by word, stroke by stroke. This unprecedented feat carved his name into the history of literary innovation.
India’s Sacred Texts Reimagined – In Reverse
Through his mirror image works, Goel has revived and reintroduced some of India’s most beloved spiritual and poetic texts:
- Bhagavad Gita – The eternal spiritual dialogue, transcribed in reverse with perfect clarity.
- Sundara Kanda (Ramcharitmanas) – A mirrored journey through Lord Hanuman’s divine adventures.
- Sai Satcharitra – Life teachings of Sai Baba, handwritten for a reflective devotional experience.
- Durga Saptashati – Rewriting the power of the goddess with reverence and reverse ink.
- Meri Ikyavan Kavitayein – A mirror tribute to Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s poetic soul.
Each book is handwritten, not replicated by machine—underscoring Goel’s discipline and reverence for Indian literature and spirituality.
The Many Faces of Piyush Goel
While his mirrored books have brought him international recognition, Piyush Goel’s brilliance doesn’t stop at the literary edge:
- Motivational Thinker – His original work “Sochana too Padega hi” features 110 self-written quotes that challenge conventional thinking and uplift the reader.
- Mathematics Researcher – Goel has published three international research papers in mathematics, reflecting his analytical prowess.
- Cartoonist – Through his humorous yet thought-provoking sketches, he captures the essence of social and political commentary.
- Cricket Umpire – Off the page and on the field, he is known for his honesty and discipline.
- Corporate Professional – With more than 25 years of experience in the corporate world, he harmonizes structure with creativity in everything he does.
Recognized Across Borders and Disciplines
For his distinctive and groundbreaking work, Goel has been honored with several accolades, most notably the Holder Republic Award. His story has been covered by Hindustan Times, Dainik Bhaskar, Amar Ujala, and other respected publications—each highlighting his rare mix of talent, humility, and vision.
Why His Story is Relevant Now
In a fast-paced, digital-first world where automation often overshadows authenticity, Piyush Goel reminds us of the power of the human hand and mind.
