Mrityunjay, a senior Indian Police Service officer of poetic sensibility, gives a contemporary glimpse of the unfathomable pathos of sunderance suffered by Yaksha and idyllic portrayal of geosocial life of North India in Kalidasa's Meghdoot (The Cloud Messenger) through the verses of original Sanskrit classic written in AD 4-5 Century. With leaning towards literature, music and history, Mrityunjay is able to converse in 6 languages - i.e. Bhojpuri, Hindi, English, Nepali, Bengali and Bahasa-Indonesia, and aspires to learn French soon. Having varied experience of human living in his country, diverse cultures during his diplomatic assignments abroad and exposure to a motley of literature and history, He learnt to look for romance amidst the tragic folds of life. He started exploring symbols and images of history and classics in the light of paradoxes of modernity and evolution. The present creation is his maiden work in English aiming to resurrect and rejuvenate the classical work of Kalidasa in the language of today's life and people. Mrityunjay has done his Masters in Political Science from University of Delhi, India and passed All India Services' Exams to become a member of the premium Indian bureaucracy. He is awarded with the President of India Medal for Meritorious Service and 'Kalakar Award' for 'Best music in Regional Language'. He was recently commended by the Indian Ambassador to Indonesia for his contributions in organizing 'Festival of India' in Indonesia in 2009-10 to work out innovative ways for breaking new grounds of people to people contact, collaborations and sharing to facilitate deeper understanding of diverse views and cultures.
