Early Life
Sarda was born in 1937 in Mahabaleshwar, Maharashtra. Though he was a Marathi language writer but he was born to a Maheshwari Marwari family.
At his age 13, his first book Chatur Champa, a collection of stories for children, was published. In the next few years, many more of his children's stories were published in children's magazines, including B. R. Bhagwat's Balmitra, Sane Guruji's Sadhana, Gopinath Talwalkar's Anand, Vasudeo Krishnaji Bhave's Suman, B. R. Modak's Mulanche Masik, Virendra Adhia's Kumar, and Loksatta daily's children's section. In 1949, he attended Kumar Sahitya Sammelan, a literary conference, in Dahanu and the next year in Ahmedabad where he was felicitated as a young writer.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
““Never hug and kiss your children! Mother love may make your children’s infancy unhappy and prevent them from pursuing a career or getting married!” That’s total hogwash, of course. But it shows on extreme example of what state-of-the-art “scientific” parenting was supposed to be in early twentieth-century America. After all, that was the heyday of efficiency experts, time-and-motion studies, and the like.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Either life entails courage, or it ceases to be life.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
