Rāmachandra Mishra (1 June 1915–6 November 1995), better known by his pen name Faturananda, was an Indian humorist and satirical writer in Odia. [1] He was the founder of the Sarasa Sāhitya Samiti, a literary organisation. [2] Mishra established "Kāntakabi Award" in the name of Laxmikanta Mohapatra. His early life was spent in struggling which is the core part of his autobiography Mo phutā dangāra kāhāni. [3] Mishra preferred "Faturānanda" as a pen name in all his writings. [1] Some of his popular writings include Nākatā Chitrakar (1953), [4] Sāhi Mahābharat. [5] His satirical writings in Odia were based on political reality and prevailing cynicism. [6]
Mishra was born on 1 June 1915 in Cuttack, Odisha to Bidyādhar Mishra and Subhadrā Mishra. [2]
Faturānanda is well known for his distinctly unique and original style of writing. He uses simple and colloquial language with a natural flow. Underlying theme in all his works is social issues addressed either directly or indirectly.
According to Faturānanda “Stories I wrote initially were of tragic nature. After publication of “Dagaro” from Cuttack I started noticing the comic and humorous stories in it. Those were more or less of the same plot. For example, romance between a college boy and a college girl. Both decide to get married, but face some obstacle just before it. Finally the end of their romance. After seeing the same situation in all these published stories, I said – can’t there be any humor without these college boys and college girls. I made up my mind then and there not to ever include romance in my humor and satire. I have followed this principle ever since."
