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:
“... business training in early life should not be regarded solely as insurance against destitution in the case of an emergency. For from business experience women can gain, too, knowledge of the world and of human beings, which should be of immeasurable value to their marriage careers. Self-discipline, co-operation, adaptability, efficiency, economic management,—if she learns these in her business life she is liable for many less heartbreaks and disappointments in her married life.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“The child-rearing years are relatively short in our increased life span. It is hard for young women caught between diapers and formulas to believe, but there are years and years of freedom ahead. I regret my impatience to get on with my career. I wish I’d relaxed, allowed myself the luxury of watching the world through my little girl’s eyes.”
—Eda Le Shan (20th century)
