Manohar Shyam Joshi

लखनऊ विश्वविद्यालय के विज्ञान स्नातक मनोहर श्याम जोशी ‘कल के वैज्ञानिक’ की उपाधि पाने के बावजूश्द रोजी-रोटी की खातिर छात्र जीवन से ही लेखक और पत्रकार बन गए। अमृतलाल नागर और अज्ञेय - इन दो आचार्यों का आशीर्वाद उन्हें प्राप्त हुआ। स्कूल मास्टरी, क्लर्की और बेरोजगारी के अनुभव बटोरने के बाद 21 वर्ष की उम्र से वह पूरी तरह मसिजीवी बन गए।

प्रेस, रेडियो, टी.वी. वृत्तचित्र, फिल्म, विज्ञापन-सम्प्रेषण का ऐसा कोई माध्यम नहीं जिसके लिए उन्होंने सफलतापूर्वक लेखन-कार्य न किया हो। खेल-कूद से लेकर दर्शनशास्त्र तक ऐसा कोई विषय नहीं जिस पर उन्होंने कलम न उठाई हो। आलसीपन और आत्मसंशय उन्हें रचनाएँ पूरी कर डालने और छपवाने से हमेशा रोकता रहा है। पहली कहानी तब छपी जब वह अठारह वर्ष के थे लेकिन पहली बड़ी साहित्यिक कृति तब प्रकाशित करवाई जब सैंतालीस वर्ष के होने को आए।

Harishankar Parsai

Harishankar Parsai (हरिशंकर परसाई) was one of the greatest hindi satire writer. Despite holding a MA degree in English, he never wrote in this language. Started his career as a teacher, he later quit it to become a full time writer and started a literature magazine "Vasudha"(it was later closed because of financial difficulties).

He was famous for his blunt and pinching style of writing which included allegorical as well as realist approach. He was funny enough to make you laugh but serious enough to prick your conscience. There would be hardly any dimension of life left which has not appeared in his satires. He received Sahitya Academy Award(biggest literature award in India) for his book "Viklaang Sraddha ka Daur".
