In addition to his father, Bishan Das Kumar, a former headmaster, his grandpa, the late Tulsi Das Kumar, was a teacher. Krishna is represented by the letter "K."
He's considered the most brilliant of India's poets and worked as a schoolteacher, critic, and author. So, it's no surprise that his poetry has many of the same intellectual underpinnings as the great Western poets - T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, and so on. He also shares a strong autobiographical and confessional style with writers like Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, and John Berryman.
Childhood and Education of Shiv K Kumar
Shiv K. Kumar • Indian writer (1931–2017) Mahananda Poudyal (Nepali: महानन्द पौडेल; 19 January 1931 – 12 October 2017) was an Indian writer, teacher, social worker and political thinker.[1] Mahananda Poudyal was born in Kalimpong, Darjeeling district, India on 19 January 1931. His father's name was Khadananda Poudyal. He obtained his primary education from St. Michael Roman Catholic School, Kalimpong. Later, he went on to study at the Scottish Universities Mission Institution (SUMI). He was a very bright student from a young age. So immediately after finishing high school, he was hired to work as a teacher in Tashi Namgyal Senior Secondary School (TNSSS) in Gangtok, Sikkim. After working for about 3 years he decided to attend college and completed his bachelor's degree which he received in 1956 from Darjeeling Government College. He then went on to complete his Masters of Arts (MA) degree from Tribhuvan University, Kathmandu Nepal. Once comp • More than 90 percent of Nepal's total population lives in rural areas, and there are few large urban centers in the hill regions that are the natural home of the Nepali language. Indeed, if a story is set in an urban environment, it is usually that of the Kathmandu Valley. It is not surprising that rural life is the backdrop to about one-third of these stories; although they may live in Kathmandu, many authors grew up in a village environment. A distinction can be drawn nevertheless between stories that are self-consciously "village stories," written either to paint an authentic picture of rural society or to point out some undesirable feature of it, and stories in which events simply happen to take place in a village context. Village stories were rather more common during the early phase of ― 178 ― the short story's development in Nepali. This can be accounted for, at least, in part, by the popularity and influence of the Hindi/Urdu writer "Premchand." Almost all
