'''Vinod Kumar Shukla''' (born 1 January 1937) is a modern [[Hindi]] writer known for his style that often borders on [[magic-realism]]. His works include the novels ''Naukar ki Kameez'' (which has been made into the film ''[[Naukar Ki Kameez|of the same name]]'' by [[Mani Kaul]]) and ''Deewar Mein Ek Khirkee Rahati Thi'' (''A Window lived in a Wall''), which won the [[Sahitya Akademi]] Award for the best Hindi work in 1999. This novel has been made into a [https://www.whatshot.in/pune/deewar-mein-ek-khidki-rehti-thi-e-328500 stage play] by theatre director [[Mohan Maharishi]].

== Life and work ==
He was born on 1 January 1937 in [[Rajnandgaon]], Chhattisgarh (then [[Madhya Pradesh]]). His first collection of poems ''Lagbhag Jai Hind'' was published in 1971. ''Vah Aadmi Chala Gaya Naya Garam Coat Pehankar Vichar Ki Tarah'' was his second collection of poems, published in 1981 by [[Sambhavna Prakashan]]. ''Naukar Ki Kameez''<ref>{{Cite book | last1 =Khanna | first1 = Satti | title =Modern Hindi Short Stories | year = 2000 | publisher = Har-Anand Publications | isbn = 9788124100370 | url= https://books.google.com/books?id=rS_qXVNdvnIC&q=Naukar+Ki+Kameez&pg=PA169}}</ref>(The Servant's Shirt) was his first novel, brought out in 1979 by the same publisher. ''Per Par Kamra'' (Room on the Tree), a collection of short stories, was brought out in 1988, and another collection of poems in 1992, ''Sab Kuch Hona Bacha Rahega''.

Vinod Kumar Shukla was a guest littérateur at the Nirala Srijanpeeth in AGRA from 1994 to 1996 during which he wrote two novels ''Khilega To Dekhenge'' and the refreshing ''Deewar Mein Ek Khirkee Rahati Thi''. The latter has been translated into English by Prof. Satti Khanna of [[Duke University]] as ''A Window Lived in a Wall''<ref>{{Cite book | last1 =Kumar Shukla| first1 = Vinod | title =Deevar Mein Ek Khidki Rahti Thi | year = 2005 | publisher = Sahitya Akademi| location = New Delhi | isbn = 9788126021727 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=eQ-dlQfFMkUC}}</ref>(Publisher : Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi, 2005).

He did his M.Sc. in agriculture from [[Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya]] (JNKVV) in [[Jabalpur]] whereafter he joined as lecturer in Agriculture College Raipur.{{citation needed|date=July 2017}} He was inspired considerably by the poet [[Gajanan Madhav Muktibodh|Muktibodh]] who was then a lecturer in Hindi at Digvijay College Rajnandgaon where Padumlal Punnalal Buxy was also working. Baldeo Prasad Mishra was also at Rajnandgaon at the same period.

Vinod Kumar Shukl's poems have been widely translated. In 2015, Delhi-based author Akhil Katyal translated Shukl's 'Hatasha se ek vyakti baith gaya' into English:

{{cquote|Desperate, a man sat down,

I didn't know him,

I knew desperation,

so I went close to him

and reached out my hand –

holding it, he stood up,

he didn't know me, he knew

my reaching out the hand,

from there, we walked together,

neither of us knew the other –

both knew walking together.}}
