Neeraj

Gopaldas Saxena 'Neeraj' was born in the small village Etawah in UP, India on 4 January 1924. He wrote under the pen name "Neeraj".

His style is considered easy to understand, but has also been compared with high quality Hindi literature. He was awarded PadmaBhushan in 2007

Besides writing, he earned his living teaching in a college and was a Professor of Hindi Literature in Aligarth.

In the television interview, Gopaldas Neeraj called himself an unlucky poet which led to his stopping himself from writing film songs and confining himself to just writing and getting his poems published.

The reason for this mentioned by him was that at least two or three prominent Music Directors of the Hindi Film Industry for whom he wrote very successful and popular songs, had expired.

He mentioned the death of Jaikishan of the Music Duo Shankar- Jaikishan as well as of S.D.Burman, for both of whom he had written highly popular film songs.

The deaths of these Music Directors when they as well as Gopaldas Neeraj were at the peak of their popularity, left him very depressed and he made a decision to quit the film industry.
