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.

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.
