Author - Dr.Rahul Bihari’s biography :

An avid story teller from the very beginning, Rahul was often invited to narrate his creations in the very popular story telling classes at school.
Under the able guidance of his litterateur Principal and outstanding English teachers, most of whom were from England, Rahul developed a special affinity for the written word.
The recipient of several accolades in English speaking and writing, Rahul
was elected President of the Literary Society.
He soon became editor of the school magazine and was inevitably the Master of Ceremonies at all school functions

Dr.Rahul Bihari graduated to be a dental surgeon from Mysore University in 1996 and joined a dental school as lecturer. Besides treating patients and lecturing, he also became editor of the college magazine “The Explorer”.
Rahul gave vent to his creativity in the form of several innovations pertaining to dentistry for e.g. a tooth extraction machine which was selected by the National Innovation Foundation in a nation wide competition and a new type of rotary cutting instrument for tooth structure.

Rahul tested his competency in English by scoring rather well, in all internationally recognized tests of English Language viz. IELTS, OET and TOEFL.

His grandfather Late Mr.Vijan Braj Bihari cast an indelible impression on Rahul’s life. He was a metallurgical engineer, who went on to become an ardent freedom fighter in colonial India. A childhood friendship with an enlightened saint, encouraged him to forge strong bonds with spirituality and meditation. His quest for the supernatural, took him to several mystics and saints across the length and breadth of the country.

After retiring from his professional life, he came to The Dalai Lama, and finally embraced Tibetan Buddhism. He was the first Indian to be ordained as a Lama by His Holiness's guru himself and came to be known as Lama Thupten Chosdar.

During his early childhood, his grandfather, whom he lovingly called 'Baba', introduced him to the psychic realm of Tibetan mysticism through his fascinating bedtime stories, heavily laced with elements of the paranormal.

This background strengthened by his own experiences of the latter, inspired him to write his debut novel - “The Dreampickers”
