"KUSUM" was a Beautiful Short Story by Munshi Premchand

Munshi Premchand (Urdu: منشی پریم چند), (Born on July 31, 1880– Death
on October 8, 1936) was a famous writer of modern Hindi-Urdu
literature. He is generally recognized in India as the foremost
Hindi-Urdu writer of the early 20th century.

The main characteristic of Premchand's writings is his interesting
story-telling and use of simple language. His novels describe the
problems of the rural peasant classes. He avoided the use of highly
Sanskritized Hindi (as was the common practice among Hindi writers),
but rather he used the dialect of the common people.
