New Delhi, India – In an era where creativity is often measured by digital prowess, Piyush Goel dares to bring back the beauty of handcrafted brilliance—but with a twist. Known across media as the “Mirror Image Man”, Goel has carved a unique identity as a writer who doesn’t just pen his thoughts—he reflects them, literally.
Born in 1967, Piyush Goel is not your conventional author. He’s a world record holder, a mathematician, a motivational thinker, a cartoonist, a cricket umpire, and above all, a literary innovator who has taken the age-old art of writing and turned it into something never seen before.
Writing in Reverse: A Vision Few Can Imagine, Fewer Can Achieve
Piyush Goel’s extraordinary skill lies in writing entire books in mirror image format—each letter, word, and sentence reversed as though designed to be read through a mirror. His work is not just about style—it’s about pushing the boundaries of the human mind and celebrating discipline, concentration, and creativity.
In 2012, Goel accomplished a feat that stunned the literary world—he handwrote the entire “Madhushala” by Harivansh Rai Bachchan using a needle. Yes, a needle—not a pen—etching every mirrored word with precision and passion. This earned him the unique distinction of creating the World’s First Needle-Written Mirror Image Book.
A Legacy Written in Reverse – Yet Forward-Thinking
His body of work is nothing short of legendary. Among the many texts Goel has rewritten in mirror image are:
- The Bhagavad Gita – The sacred Hindu scripture, mirrored word-for-word, making it the world’s first of its kind, as noted by Hindustan Times.
- Sundara Kanda from Ramcharitmanas – A mirrored retelling of Lord Hanuman’s heroic exploits.
- Sai Satcharitra – The life and teachings of Sai Baba, mirrored for devotional readers.
- Durga Saptashati – A sacred text on Goddess Durga’s divine powers.
- Meri Ikyavan Kavitayein – A tribute to former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, by rewriting his 51 poems in mirror format.
Each book is handwritten, not digitized or graphically mirrored—every curve, stroke, and line is a labor of deep devotion.
