Raju Ranjan and Kumar Mukul

About 1995 , Raju Ranjan Prasad joined Swaroop Vidya Niketan and in spite of great differences of opinions and viewpoints became fighting friends . He once came to me with Kumar Mukul who, through Shaily Pathak , a Patna College classmate, had been already a bit introduced to me . Raju Ranjan's way of criticism is poignantly humorous . He hurts but makes you think seems to be dedicated to his faith . If he reads this line he may disagree with something in it because he is Raju .

Kumar Mukul is a poet , though he is a critic also . However , his critic is only as much tall as the poet in raju Ranjan , slight inaccuracy of assessment being kindly overlooked .Now Mukul has settled in Delhi and we see each other only occasionally but I phone to him sometimes and visit his blog ' Karavan '.

Raju is vociferous on his 'matmatantar' and has recently complained against my reading less though I so frequently read him .
