Piyush Goel, a mechanical engineer by profession, has made a name for himself as an extraordinary artist with a passion for mirror image writing. Known as the “Mirror Image Man,” Goel’s unique ability to pen mirror image texts has led to the creation of 17 remarkable books using various unconventional tools, such as pens, needles, mehndi cones, carbon paper, fabric cone liners, iron nails, and even wooden pens on magic sheets.
Among his notable achievements is the mirror-imaged “Shreemad Bhagavad Gita,” comprising all 18 chapters and 700 verses in both Hindi and English. Additionally, he has completed mirror image versions of “Shree Durga Sapt Satti” in Sanskrit, “Shree Sai Satcharitra” in Hindi and English, and “Sundar Kand” twice.
Goel’s creativity shines in his needle-written “Madhushala,” a work originally by Harivansh Rai Bachchan. This innovative approach eliminates the need for a mirror to read the text. In his quest to innovate, Goel wrote “Gitanjali” by Rabindranath Tagore using a mehndi cone and “Piyush Vani,” his own published work, with an iron nail on aluminum sheets.
Another fascinating work is “Panchtantra,” written with carbon paper, allowing both mirror and non-mirror images to appear on the same page. Piyush Goel’s works showcase his unparalleled creativity and dedication to literature, challenging conventional writing methods and inspiring others to pursue their passions with relentless enthusiasm.
