Born at Lucknow, India on 14th January 1953 (Father Late Shri Surya Chandra Uniyal and Mother Smt. Sushila Uniyal) , I had my school education at Christian missionary schools of Mt Carmel and Boys High School, Mahanagar, and my college education at Government Jubilee Inter College, Lucknow and Canning College, Lucknow University, from where I obtained my Master of Arts in Ancient Indian History & Archaeology in 1974. Having worked as Customs Inspector at Dharchula in the Himalayan border district of Pithoragarh in Uttarakhand during 1978-80, I am presently an Under Secretary with the Government of India, in New Delhi. I have been writing poems since my school days and especially haiku for the past 25 years, but an anthology is yet to be published. Also interested in research in history and archaeology (having written a monograph on Games and Sports in Ancient Indian Art and Archaeology) , I am an avid reader of literature(both English and Hindi) , folk-poetry, Sanskrit plays and scriptures. Travelled in India and abroad (Wollongong, Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane, Singapore, Milan, Rome, Venice, Florence and Urbino.) I am currently working on a collection of my poems and haiku and also involved in translating medieval Hindi Bhakti poets like Kabir, Surdas and Raidas and modern Hindi poet Leeladhar Jagoodi, besides a poetic rendering of Garhwali folk-songs. Of late, my poems/haiku and translations have found place among a number of literary e-journals like Museindia, Kritya, Enchanting Verses, Haiku Dreaming Australia and Notes From the Gean.
