Dr Gupt honoured
Chandigarh, February 6 Dr D.S. Gupt said that his anthology of poems reflected his feelings about contemporary situations, nationalism, humour, alienation and creativity.

Principal Bhupinder Singh read a paper entitled ‘Psychological Approach to Dr. D.S. Gupt’s Anthology of Hindi Poems.’ He said in Gupt’s poetry “we find Keatsian intensity while he describes the poetic process. Dr D.S. Gupt as a modern poet is concerned with the contemporary problems and makes apt use of symbols to describe the alienation of modern times focusing on zeitgeist or spirit of the times.”
