Poetic Obituaries: Christened Pandit Ram Krishan by his parents,

he was given the pen name 'Naseem' by friends and faculty members at Law College, Chandigarh. "He was a very good shaayar and wrote poetry and ghazal during his student days," his nephew, Gaurav, said [of Pandit R.K. Naseem] on Monday. "After friends and teachers conferred the pen name on him, he made it his last name."
