Bhupendra Dogra was born in 1951 in Kalijpur village, located in present-day Gurdaspur District of Punjab. His early school education was at St. Joseph’s Academy, Dehradun. He later joined Sainik School, Jamnagar, Gujarat, to complete the Indian School Certificate (ISC) Examination in 1968, and returned to Punjab to graduate from Government College, Gurdaspur in 1972. However, it was only in the postgraduate Department of English at the Baring Union Christian College, Batala, Punjab, that Bhupendra’s flair for literature and dramatics came to the fore, under the benign watch of the respected American missionary Professor Dr. Paul Linder Love, who went out of his way to forge life changing bonds with most of his students.
After post-graduation, Bhupendra taught English for a few years at a small college and at a public school near Delhi, before joining the Indian Revenue Service in 1977 through the Civil Services examination. Bhupendra superannuated in November 2011, and is now leading a quiet, retired life in Panchkula (adjacent to Chandigarh) with his wife and children. Bhupendra has been experimenting with creative writing for several decades, but this is the first time an entire collection of short stories is being published.
