Mahi Agarwal
is building stories since 2010 and wrote her first book ‘Manners to
Life’ in 2015 when she was 7 and boldly emailed it directly to the CEO,
Mr. Ashish Jain of University Book House, India who liked the stories
and the social messages and published it in 2016.
‘Manners to Life’ is a collection of
9 short stories which give social messages like respect parent of
others, use dustbins, sweepers are not our servants, don’t force friends
for anything ,save little girls etc.
Mahi is a single child and since her parents are working, she was devoid of company and started
playing with Barbie dolls a lot and started creating stories where each
Barbie doll would become a character, either her sister, friend or a bad
girl. She used to tell her mother about what she did with her dolls or
how the dolls rescued the little doll or the animal.Gradually her
imagination was recognized by her mother who introduced her to Mr.
Chetan Jain, the Publisher. Mr Ashish Jain says, “We are proud of Mahi
as she has given real good messages which a society really needs at the
grass root level in our country. We are proud to be her publisher.”
Mahi is very confident in her abilities,
saying, “I think I’m a creative writer and I knew I had a message to
tell people in a creative way.” She says her mother; Shubhi Lall-Agarwal
being a writer always inspired her to write something. Mahi’s father,
Saurabh Agarwal is a very popular TV actor has always checked her on
diction and pronunciation. Though the book is written in English but
Mahi is very popular in her class for speaking very good Hindi. She is
working on her next book ‘Learn from Amazing Animals.’
