At first glance, the pages look strange. Letters appear reversed, sentences seem unreadable, and entire books feel like puzzles. But place them in front of a mirror, and suddenly, every word comes alive. This is the genius of Piyush Goel, the man the world now knows as the “Mirror Image Man of India.”
A record-holder, author, mathematician, cartoonist, corporate veteran, and motivational writer, Piyush Goel is not just a multi-talented personality—he is a living example of discipline meeting imagination.
Reinventing the Act of Writing
In 2012, Piyush Goel created history. He rewrote Harivansh Rai Bachchan’s Madhushala—not in normal handwriting, but in mirror image using a needle instead of a pen. The result was the world’s first needle-written mirror image book.
This was not just art—it was a revolution. Each page reflected human patience, the kind of patience that transforms ordinary writing into something almost sacred.
Bringing India’s Heritage into Reflection
What makes Goel’s work extraordinary is not just the style—it’s the substance. He chose to mirror-write some of India’s most treasured literary and spiritual works:
-
Bhagavad Gita – A spiritual compass, word-for-word in reflection.
-
Sundara Kanda (Ramcharitmanas) – Hanuman’s tale mirrored into devotion.
-
Sai Satcharitra – Sai Baba’s teachings preserved in reverse.
-
Durga Saptashati – The divine hymn of power and faith.
-
Meri Ikyavan Kavitayein – A mirrored tribute to former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s poetry.
By writing these texts in reverse, Goel has created masterpieces that fuse tradition with innovation.
A Man of Many Dimensions
Piyush Goel’s brilliance is not confined to mirrored books. His life reflects versatility:
-
Motivational Author – His book Sochana too Padega hi carries 110 thought-provoking insights to inspire the mind.
-
Mathematics Researcher – With three international research papers, he has contributed to academia with originality.
-
Cartoonist – With wit and satire, he illustrates society’s truths.
-
Cricket Umpire – Known for discipline and fairness on the field.
-
Corporate Professional – With 25+ years of experience, he balances logic and creativity in the workplace.
Recognition and Impact
His contributions have earned him the Holder Republic Award along with widespread recognition in leading newspapers like Hindustan Times, Amar Ujala, and Dainik Bhaskar.
But Goel himself believes his true achievement is not the awards—it is in proving that imagination knows no boundaries.
Why His Story Matters Globally
In an era where artificial intelligence writes novels in seconds and machines generate art instantly, Piyush Goel’s work stands as a reminder of what human hands and human patience can create. His mirror image books are more than curiosities. They are symbols of resilience, focus, and timeless creativity.
“The mirror doesn’t just show a reflection,” Goel says. “It shows us what is possible when we dare to see the world differently.”
