Mahakavi Kalidas was a well-known Sanskrit classical poet. He was known as Mahakavi, and he made a significant contribution to Sanskrit literature. The Kalidas Poems gave the literary works a particular taste. His writings are both moving and intellectually interesting, appealing to both thinkers and popular readers. He was born in 1488 in a small village called Meenakshipuram near present-day Madurai, Tamil Nadu. His parents were poor farmers who could not afford to send him to school. Therefore, he had no opportunity to learn anything other than farming. At an early age, he showed a fascination for poetry and music which his family couldn't afford to give him access to. So, he tried to express his feelings about life through songs. This led to several conflicts with his family who wanted him to become a doctor or a lawyer. However, Kalidas had other ideas and decided to follow his heart's desire of becoming a poet. At the age of 30, he traveled to Ujjain where many famous scholars had gathered to discuss philosophy. There he met several people who encouraged him to write poems. After returning home, he wrote many poems but didn't show them to anyone because he thought they were not good enough to be published. However, after losing contact with everyone, he decided to publish one copy of his work and sent it out into the world.
