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:
“We have been told over and over about the importance of bonding to our children. Rarely do we hear about the skill of letting go, or, as one parent said, “that we raise our children to leave us.” Early childhood, as our kids gain skills and eagerly want some distance from us, is a time to build a kind of adult-child balance which permits both of us room.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion (20th century)
“In our world of big names, curiously, our true heroes tend to be anonymous. In this life of illusion and quasi-illusion, the person of solid virtues who can be admired for something more substantial than his well-knownness often proves to be the unsung hero: the teacher, the nurse, the mother, the honest cop, the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
