Mallikarjun B. Mulimani is a young electronics and communication engineer turned writer. He initially wrote poems; later took up to writing short stories, novellas, and novels. So far, he has contributed to seven books viz.
‘Abstractions’, ‘Buddha in a Mercedes’, ‘The Holy Plumber and Other Stories’, ‘Operation Epiphany - God’s Journey on Earth’, ‘Victims Incorporated-Circles of Sub-consciousness’, ‘Dams Across the Flow’ and ‘What Happened to my Creativity?’
Four of these books have been published by Writers Workshop, Kolkata, one by S. Chand & Company LTD. New Delhi, another by Current Publications, Agra, and the remaining one was self-published by CreateSpace. The author’s style is one in which he feels that brevity is of the essence. In his work, the author wrestles with the aspects of life, love, death, God, religion, sex, and other serious issues.
The author touches upon the metaphysical side of all the above-mentioned issues whenever he deals with them in his work. He is a serious writer, who also has a very subtle sarcastic wit about him. Even though he is still young, many eminent persons including the late Prof. U. R. Ananthamurthy have appreciated him.

Walker
Walker was neither a Lion nor a Lion cub. He was an adolescent bursting with hormones. He was already a whimsical Butterfly painting life gay with his iridescent wings, with a wise old Owl soul within his heart of a Cow jailed by an iron Hyena heart guarded by Vultures.
Walker was all, and yet, none. He managed to identify with everybody, yet not totally with anybody, even himself. But Walker was not God, as no one is, but only human that led to him rushing headlong into disaster, taking others with him, but emerging unscathed, alone, as he finally found God, himself, albeit in a form opposite towards which he had aspired.
The Dark
This story is about an old poor writer’s wisdom and the curiosity of a young rich boy. They knew each other only through books though they were neighbours; the boy in his mansion neighbouring the writer in his slum. The writer, writing children’s books, in which were hidden pearls of philosophy, meant only for the wise beyond their years, finally recognizes the young boy but decides to walk away from him fearing that he would hurt a young heart and mind with his old philosophy.
But the smart boy manages to get the scent of the writer and follows him and finds him with the help of a young man. The circle of life is complete, but what happens next?
