In a world divided between precision and passion, Chief Engineer Praveen Kumar Tyagi is a rare soul who unites both. A distinguished officer of the Merchant Navy and a celebrated author, Tyagi navigates the vast oceans with mastery while exploring the uncharted depths of the human heart through poetry and novels. His life is a testament to the harmony of intellect, creativity, and vision.
From Kashmir’s Valleys to the World’s Waters
Born in the serene Teetwal Valley of Kupwara district, Kashmir, Tyagi’s early years were shaped by snow-capped mountains and flowing rivers. These landscapes taught him resilience, patience, and introspection — qualities that have guided both his personal and professional journey.
Tyagi’s academic path led him from Dehradun to Nagpur University, where he earned a Mechanical Engineering degree. He joined the Merchant Navy, rising to the esteemed position of Chief Engineer. Across international waters, he became renowned not only for his technical expertise but also for his leadership, integrity, and innovative thinking. Yet, amid the hum of engines and roar of waves, he found another calling — the world of words and emotions.
The Poet Who Hears Life’s Whispers
Even in the solitude of the open sea, Tyagi’s soul resonates with poetry. His Urdu poetry collection, Aahista Qadam Rakhna, explores love, longing, and human introspection. Each poem reflects both a sensitivity and a depth shaped by lived experience, offering readers a path to connect with their own emotions.
Tyagi’s verses move gently yet leave a lasting impression — a reminder that even amid motion, there is stillness, and even amid discipline, there is freedom.
