About the Author

            Kanwaljit Bhullar is a retired Indian Army veteran whose two-decade-long military journey (1978–1998) exposed him to the stark realities of war, the brotherhood of service, and the psychological toll of life in uniform. He served with distinction in counter-insurgency operations, intense field postings, and high-pressure environments, all of which deeply shaped his inner world and now inform his literary voice. 

            Born on June 14, 1958, at the Military Hospital in Patiala, Bhullar’s early education spanned Model School and Punjab Public School, Nabha, followed by Vatican Public School and later Mohindra College, Patiala, and Doaba College, Jalandhar. He joined the Indian Army before completing his formal graduation, but later pursued academic and literary interests while in service, including completing his degree and enrolling in the Army Cadet Course.

            Bhullar’s literary life began during college with short stories and poems in Punjabi newspapers. Even amid the rigors of military duty, his passion for writing remained undiminished. His poetry and prose have since appeared in reputed Punjabi and Hindi magazines like Nagmani, Akkhar, Vartman Sahitya, among others.

            A versatile and multilingual author, Bhullar has written across genres - poetry, social commentary, military memoir, investigative journalism, and children’s literature. His published books include:

• Kiran Vihuna Suraj (Punjabi Poetry) 
• Takih Sanad Rahe (Punjabi Poetry)
• Kabhi Aana Zindagi (Hindi Poetry)
• With An Apology From Mr. Adam (English Poetry)
• Waqt Belagaam (Punjabi Poetry)
• Dumb Tears (English Poetry)
• Whispers Beneath Our Sky (English Articles)
• Racial and Ethnic Discrimination: Understanding, Impact, and Strategies for Equality

• Screened Stories: Bollywood’s Voice of Social Issues
• 36 True Tales of Criminal Minds (Crime, Robbery & Assassination)
• Pleasure Destroys Prominence: 31 Global Sex Scandals

             His latest work, A Soldier in the Fog, is his most personal - an emotionally raw, viscerally honest military memoir blending realism with literary elegance. This book brings to light not only the blood and burden of a soldier’s life but also the quiet poetry that survives in moments of death, fog, and forgotten friendships.

             Now serving as Assistant Registrar at Akal University, Talwandi Sabo (Punjab), Kanwaljit Bhullar continues to write, guide, and inspire. His stories are deeply rooted in lived experience, animated by a rare authenticity, and speak to readers across generations—soldiers, civilians, and dreamers alike.

 “A soldier is remembered at home, but a storyteller lives in the hearts of strangers.”
