The Artist at Study:
Rooted in the rich soil of Belarahi, Madhubani (Bihar), Ramjee Lal Dass Trikaldarshi‘s mind travels effortlessly through time and space, proving that with enough imagination, a library is the only spaceship one needs. Seated most often in a humble chair, the author is absorbed in a book, framed by a Wall of Worlds: a towering, glass-fronted archive behind him that stands as a physical testament to his multifaceted artcraft. Its ordered rows reveal a mind devoted to structure even as it probes the chaotic “unseen forces that shape existence.” This quiet moment of stillness contrasts sharply with the kinetic energy of the cartoons that have appeared in reputed publications. It is a rare glimpse into the input phase of a creator known for his output. He is likely decoding a new mystery or finding a satirical angle on human nature, proving that the journey to the extraordinary often begins in a quiet corner of a room in Darbhanga.
A Keen Observer:
As ‘Trikaldarshi,’ Mr. Dass projects a quiet intensity that belies a mind racing with science-fiction narratives and sharp satire. He represents the duality of the creator: an observer anchored firmly in the present while decoding the extraordinary amidst the mundane. No wonder he reimagines the city’s architecture as the skeletal remains of a forgotten cyborg civilization. The world is his raw material for speculative science fictions. Moreover, his observations are laced with irony: societal norms, office politics, and human rituals all refracted through a lens of biting humor. He finds absurdity in the serious, comedy in the tragic—and just as often, the reverse.
A Good Samaritan:
While Ramjee Lal Dass, writing as ‘Trikaldarshi,’ presents himself as a poet, a cartoonist as well as a visionary author behind sci-fi like “Shakti-Sanket”, “Robot Aur Aansu” and “Soulogram…”, his mind travels to distant futures, constantly exploring the extraordinary.
Yet his most powerful story is not one he has written. It is the one he lives.
A look beyond his library reveals another defining credential: a registered Colony Animal Caretaker with the Animal Welfare Board of India. In the streets of Darbhanga, the same hands that pen sharp satire and speculative worlds also reach out to feed, protect, and care for stray animals.
It is fitting that the author of Sci-fi such as “Robot Aur Aansu” (Robot and Tears) and “Soulogram…” embodies such deep empathy. He reminds us that a true intellectual doesn’t just observe the world; he cares for the living souls within it.
