Mohanjeet Kukreja (eMKay) had started writing long back. Even when he was still in school, his write-ups had started appearing in newspapers and magazines. His understanding of the words used in Urdu, especially in poetry (Urdu Shayari), is truly remarkable. Using a very beautiful blend of Hindi and Urdu, he has written on almost every possible theme, be it romance, life philosophy, tragedy or sufism.
Books to his credit:"Abhivyakti...Ek Kavya Sankalan": a wonderful, maiden collection of his poetry, with a select-mix of ashʻār, kavita, nazm, qat.a and ghazals from his shayari.
"Mangadhant" (Hindi Short Stories)
: Enjoy the style and a crisp, powerful narrative in this collection. His maturity and mastery are all the more evident in some of the short-short stories (laghukatha) that the author has included in Mangadhant.
“Within and Around” (Short Stories)
: A concoction of twenty-one beautiful stories is his first book in English and is certainly a must have!
“Four Pillars Five Stories” (Classic Short Stories)
: From the era of Neo-romanticism (Chhaayavaad Yug) of Hindi literature, there were four writers/poets, who are considered as aadharstambh (pillars) – Mahadevi Verma, Suryakant Tripathi Nirala, Jaishankar Prasad and Sumitranandan Pant. This collection is an English translation of five stories by them.
"Khayalaat - Chand Ghazlein": A beautiful collection, of fifty-one meaningful ghazals, which is simply a delight!
Blessed with a deep, soothing voice, and a very impressive enunciation, the author also keeps sharing the audio rendition of his own creations, as well as, those from other renowned poets.
