Born in a North Indian Hindu family, Ankit Panch hails from the 'ever free land' of Bharatpur, the place whose residents in their being proudly behold the impressions of the impenetrable Iron Fort (Lohagarh) in Rajasthan, India; The Eastern Spiritual Abode called Bharath. He holds a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Computer Engineering, a Master in Technology Degree in Software Engineering and is presently teaching undergraduate engineering students as Assistant Professor in Department of Computer Engineering at Govt. Engineering College at Bharatpur, Rajasthan, India. His own quest to search for meaning and the essence of all being took him time and again in the Lap of Mighty Himalayas where he wandered across the length and breadth of the Himalayan Stretch from Himachal Pradesh to Ladakh (Kashmir), From Uttarakhand to Nepal, all while volunteering, travelling & trekking, sometimes in bands, sometimes alone and every visit brought a new knowledge, a new strength, a new perspective to the creation; All the while the Mighty Grandeur of The Mountains of Himalayas made him realize his existence in the universe; The existence which is tiny, helpless, fragile and minuscule. In this context he often remembers a famous quote, "Only the Himalayas are mountains, all the rest are hills." Since then, Ankit proactively tried to bring his inner being's musings to paper in language, and chose to write in Hindi, English & Urdu. His search lead him to learn to communicate and explore literature in many other Indian languages like Sanskrit, Braj Bhasha, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marwari and Foreign ones like Russian, French, Farsi. He believes that language is a key to the locked knowledge and perspectives harbored by a particular culture following a linguistic code. He presently resides in his family home in Bharatpur with his parents and wife. He is married to Vibha Panch, a highly intelligent and sensitive being and Ankit's first audience to whom he reads out his creations aloud. It is her affirmative nod that decides the future of any literary piece. He is currently working on a Novel Series titled "The Transcendence Ephemeris" and can be reached at emailtopanch@gmail.com & @profankitpanch on twitter.
