Mr. Habeeb Rahman, writing as Habeeci, has to his credit three novels and several short stories. He began his writing career as a journalist dealing with general news, science & technology and culture. He hails from a bucolic setup. He has travelled widely and has exposed himself to a variety of communities, social and cultural situations. Deeply touched by the exasperating and growing alienation of humans, from their own roots, from their society, and from the very core humanness, his fast-paced writings usher the readers back to their own souls to redefine and regenerate themselves. His characters sometimes live in dreadful fear of getting lost out in the technological quantum jumps, but with little control on their vaulting ambitions! The caravan moves ahead, leaving behind as footmarks the people who are forced to bow out of the race, bereft of humanity and individual identity. Hebeeci broods over the unsung desires and despairs of people trapped in their defiant roots, memories, social and cultural histories, and the domineering brutal power of technology emerging through time reshaping and redefining everything around, be it a tool, a creature or a kindred soul.
