He is not only a writer and a quiz champion but also a very good friend and a very helpful person. In an interview i tried to bring out a different side of him apart from just being a writer , scholar and a quiz champion . Let s see what he has to say about his personal life , hobbies , writing achievements .

1.You have published two international books, how does it feel like to be an international writer and we would also like to hear about your beginnings in writing career ?

 

It is not easy to be a writer as it requires many commitments and 
sacrifices But it sounds very great when any book publishes in any

format at international standards. Sometimes family's attention is on

cultural race and they suggest a writer to follow such certain job,

but when writer found it not easy to prepare any competitive test and

continue the writing work, then the actual norm of writing comes into

action. It also comes as a pinch if any book has been published and

money put through agent is not being returned to a person who is

writing so the disappointment leads to more pressure. It also brings

pressure for those who had been wondering that how a person had

reached to such stage, Thus their expectations increase and if anyone

fails at this level, Then it also becomes a feeling of sacrifice and

desperation; so in this way as a first sense, it is not easy to be a writer 

indeed.Now in context of development, It surely feels great to publish 2

international books and both being poetry collection. There is no doubt

that I was in learning through social media while I started

contributions in 'Triple Jimmy and A Glowing World' thereby Jimmy sir

was a great asset thus he helped me lot guiding how to write proper

means of poetry. However I was excited a lot when on 12th August, my

first international book got published on Lulu. Apart from this in

case of 'Burning Asia: The Present Image' I had been trained through

role of social media that how to write, create and settle on thus the

official online proceedings were supported by Jimmy sir and Priya madam

provided with her cartoons, But once again it was a delight when It

came in Lulu market on 1st of November, 2016- IN this way I feel great

to be from Nainital and write in a level which is totally professional now .

However, as far the beginning of writing is concerned- I think it did

happen in my school days indeed. I am greatly thankful to my school

for organising essay writing contests where my basic writing skills

did develop. there is no doubt that partiality in early days of my

participation and politics did create challenge and I rose ahead

bashing them all in my final year in school, But I don't think that

without the encouragement of my teachers and principal in charge I

would have been what I am today. In context of getting involved in

inclusive writing although only began when I came to college life. I

did participate in Prachi Educational Society's essay contest of women

empowerment in 2013 and They informed me that I am invited to receive

the special award due to my efforts in the essay, So I believe that

was the time from where I found way to compete in a better way.

Apart from this, My first book was published through an agented

publishing platform of West Bangal. Around March 2014 I came to know

about Power Publishers from social media where I tried to submit my

first manuscript. As i had mentioned in my short biographical note

on face book that Affection Never Dies was written for an

international contest of Philippines where It did get selected so My

idea to make it publish was the determination to do something even

after cultural rejections- Thereby I managed to collect money demanded

for the publishing of book and 23rd of September, 2014 was the day

when my first book published and from that onwards I started total

commitment to my writing proceedings and I never did look back. One

thing I would like to inform here that due to rules of Disability

perspectives, I had to increase my age 8 years in the short author's

introduction with a fictional identity, But I still felt great to

publish my first book from where the ultimate journey became a great

venture for me.

In this way from stepping ahead to writing and helping on to

international styles which also includes becoming the member of

Hektoen after essay selected there, Being the core of disabled

attraction in Australia after selection of Essay on science field as

well as trying to influence Cambridge society after receiving of the

special mention notification certificate and letter, I started looking

dreams which are not certainly possible for a middle class person

who's father also had struggles in his life as a common man yet who

continue to support; But my dreams are unstoppable in writing world

and who knows one day I might be able to prove my family that I have a

writer in me.

2. How much do you think that social media has helped you to get what you wanted ?

Yes there is no question to what I have achieved won't have been

possible without two friends - One is social media and the other one is

my big bro 'Netbook' which I received on 26th of January 2013 in a

cultural function in my school located at Dehradun.

The work i do, they are generally based on the response I get from

social media for the same. I am able to identify myself as an author

due to the support and response I have got through social media. I

have used the realist perspectives for Facebook to make people

realise that it is not a fraud game altogether when it comes to

identity. However I have been active on twitter lately, But I also

enjoy there as a social media analyst and expert, I like the way it

deals with high accomplished people and I find joy to be amongst

those.

The most powerful in context of the social media is blogging which I

do at my official blog 'Saffron', It was only possible around 2015-16

that one of my bangali guide and friend madhav sir helped on to create

'Saffron' thus till then I never looked back and continue to post

articles whenever i find time to do the same, Thus it help to boost my

current affairs and support me in social media trafficking of my

profession as writing indeed.

All in all, I am delighted to have around 2270 friends on face book, 5

followers on twitter and around 400 viewers on Safron which gives me

great pride to use social media and I believe if disabled people can

use social media to good affect, They can surely clear the idea of

sympathy that have spread around and due to proper interaction they

can enlight everybody about our identity indeed.

3. Besides writing what are your other interests which you would like to pursue, if you get the time from your writing work ?

I have a passion to study in foreign, not by pressurising family and

their economic debts, but by my own flair by winning a scholarship. I

have been offered a place by the officials of Southampton University

for masters, But I feel that due to limitations of writing time I

might not get in tact, So I am still staying here and thinking to

prepare a better hand in Indian academic and trying to prepare to join

JNU for masters in International Relations so I may spend some good

times under great legend of Kumaon, DR. Pushpesh pant sir and do some

good work for my own kumaoni flair and pride.

I also wish to record some songs with popular music singers which is

only a dream. I feel it is like a large expectation, But I did write a

song 'Ye vidai yad rehe sada' which did attract my department at my

farewell in history Society, Kirori mal college. However I have

written many songs, But my passion to join the platform as a song

writer is attached with writing skills, But singing is one of those

other wishes which I stick aside when I focus on my writing.

Apart from this, I like making new friends which is always manageable.

I like to enjoy food cuisines which I always do enjoy at my rural

background with so high cultural flair in Kumaon so it is lot of fun

when I stay home not doing any quiz practice, writing or any other

work. In this way I like to enjoy life, It is my believe that we do

have to enjoy life in it's various flavours, But i have lot of

expectations thus i sometime overcome my overpressurized schedule

between depression times by singing, listening songs or eating food I

mostly like either sweet or salt flavours.

4. what are your upcoming ventures , your fans would like to hear from you ?

1. I live in a place where astrology becomes really handy and it has

sometimes suggested me not to clarify my future ventures in public,

But I also have to keep reminding myself about the expectations of my

fans, thus thinking the same factor in my mind, Here are the top three

venture I am thinking to do in writing in 2017:

Firstly, I have planned for a history book in context of colonial

period cultures of India with impact of Europe. this book will contain

the history of European intervention from Portuguese in Goa till the

independence of India thus this venture would not only bring rise of

loaf and spice trade cultures in it's entirety, But it shall also

discuss all East Indian companies and their rural and urban target on

the impression they wished to persist in the colonial age in context

of India.

Secondly, I am going to have one more poetry project with Jimmy Boom

sir which would surely be poetry collection, But what kind of poem

collection it would be is yet to be decided through online chats with

him. I have already sent the poem 'Coffee Times' for his anthology

launching around in August 2017 thereby I am excited in field of

poetry too. Apart from that I am having a romantic poem collection

project with a Nigerian affiliated author Evans who is very happy to

get on with the proceedings, Thus all in all the 2017 would have been

a gift to take on from where I stopped in last year, So I would take

on poetry to a next level through it's virtual identity indeed.

Thirdly, I am planning to complete the research work on the disabled

sector and their role in 2017 through support of Social media thereby

I would also try to have a move on by writing some case studies of

disabled friendly environment across the world as a general knowledge

project which shall help on to boost my efforts. This book should be

based on the people who are not exceptions and work with intercultural

dialogue to establish virtual necessities of their basic lives. I

shall discuss such governments where these people are involved, The

political and social role and thus I would move on by identifying

their scientific techniques to exist in a high level present

competitive environment, Thus this book would be a great one as a

virtual book.

All in all, What i can promise my readers and fans across global

terrains that they would surely enjoy what I should publish in 2017.

There is no doubt that I prefer E- books to publish so all would be in

online face, But I shall try to publish paperback of the research

works indeed from Lulu which should be a good balance between

visionless and visual community for the accountability of 2017. I wish

to acknowledge all of you for your support and keep reading my books

making me a good writer at global stance indeed.

5. Until now besides obvious challenges, what are the other challenges you have faced in your writing career ?

There are certain challenges which come through for every writer who is

born to a middle class family, first of all, But due to great support

of my parents and family, I tried to negotiate these challenges.

However as the history of India suggests, the disabled sector has not

been successful to initiate the family perspectives when they try to

go big, But I still in process to completely convince my family in

adaptation for affiliating myself with my writing as a profession.

Apart from social challenges, I have issues in relation to create

writing skills. I did learn through forums of Social media of course,

but meanwhile I always face challenges to prove myself in front of my

own community which expects new calibour from me with more provisions

for them, thus the balance between visionless and visual community is

the most deficit challenge i have to face on, But i try to cope on the

circumstances and I hope I would always be able to negotiate this

also.

However the most exclusive challenge is convincing those who are in the

publishing sector. I have faced regular challenges from publishing and

outsource media about my identity, writing skills and cooperation

which make things most tough. The challenge is not about my content

often but about my technique of writing. It is obvious that being a

visually challenged I should have a different technique which is

general in my community, But it often happens that they not find it

fit for the virtual need to bring the virtual pressure on and ignore

me after few chances calling me a liability in their working means of

communication and efforts which becomes a thinking point for me while

i plan for future stuff.

All in all these all three challenges are connected with each other,

but the way I should deal to solve them out and stop their presence in

future would make me a better writer- Till then i can continue writing

and hope for more excellence in this exclusive field for a Person with

Disability like me indeed.

6. You live in a beautiful hill station known as Nainital. Don't you have ever thought of writing a travelogue or some kind of travel journal ?

I have always been attracted by beauty and perspiration of the lake

city of Nainital whereby I have written poems at regular notice with

support of e- magazine named Raven Cage where I have put the poems on the

mountain view of nature in relation to nainital indeed though and It

had been responded with great applauses and comments by the poem

community at large.

However As some of my friends have known that I have been working on

the mountain observation project these days which include all

aspirations and topics of the hill station known as Nainital thereby I

believe that it won't take long time to present a research work which

is most preferable to me rather than writing a journal in context of

the mountain environment. As far the travelogues are concerned, I

wrote one piece about the Ridley frogs in Nainital on the online

platform of the Indian travel blogs which also attracted many sights

in 2016, Thus I would be wishing to continue my efforts in context of

writing travel accounts too at that same particular platform which may

help my knowledge to increase and boost in context of the beautiful

hill station I am born and lived for certain period of time.

All in all, I am working on a research work, I have written poems for

Nainital's virtue as well as I had tried some travel accounts, But the

polishing in both fields require some time and I assure my fans and

readers that I may accomplish totally myself in this genre at the end

of this year, Till then I hope to continue my good work and accomplish

myself according to the need of time indeed.

7. As a social media expert and an international writer what would you advise aspiring writers ?

There are certain ways to be a writer which they who wish to become

should follow or create. Creativity is not about having money only and

leaving it in dark romance or colourless ill social pages for future to

aspire only in the same. However as an international writer, There

are three ways I should wish to suggest to aspiring writers and they

are as follows:

First, A writer should know his or her limits. When I say 'limits' it

doesn't mean he or she would have to restrict in any genre, theme or

idea; It means that they should know that their ideas have to be

around a promise that has risen in such certain genre or field they

are choosing to write- It helps on to clear mind and release pressure

of the thought they are planning out.

Second, A writer should have the idea to form into account. it

requires lot of thinking and planning to create a book. It happens

that people sometimes take things in passion and then their projects

stop even in the romantic genres, Thereby they need to associate

themselves to a thought- It shall help them to boost a plan and

clarify their basics.

Third, A writer should use social media not only to introduce his or

her writing abilities, but He or she should learn from other global

writers along the world. The groups and forums for writing created in

Social media have been made for our own benefits- In this way the

writers would need not only to know writing styles, But they would

also get guidance in form of online training they hardly realise it to

be indeed.

In this way A writer needs to have 'limits', 'passion', and 'social

role' if he or she wish to be the global writer, Otherwise regional

calibour is not unknown to anybody today, But for having the pride of

International author and creativity, These above mentioned three tips

are necessary to go on with the boost of a rising writer.

8. You are an international quiz tournament captain,how was your experience ?

It is not easy to play quiz in such a level a nation expect from you

once you go through selection and all that stuff. The first problem is

about awareness which is very less in cases of quizzing, People think

that they have played in commercial quizzes and regional rounds and

they are done with it; But there is one more higher level to things in

field of quizzing. However in my case, I was selected by robin round

victories in regional level in Faridkot in Punjab in 2010 and 2011

which was good for me to look forward as a selective proceedings, Then

I won some quizzes at college level, Thence I got selected for Kerala

and thence forward my way to play at international level for Indians as

a quizzer stabled for myself as an experience.

However I had a real delight in 2015 when I bashed all suspicions and

helped india winning in two international quiz tournaments having a

great feeling to move forward. I first led the Indian quiz team in the

Scott Stardom tournament to victory and great celebrations in Glasgow

in September 2015 where some of my own cousin relatives not believed

of my accolades and quiz efforts but that didn't matter when you play

and win like that thereby I first of all enjoyed that tournament. Once

we won that tournament, we got selected for the Winter Quiz Tournament

to be taking place in Finland in November 2015 where we continued our

winning performances and managed to clinch up the title for our grace

and goodwill. In this way there were always questions first from

family and then from some people in social media whether such events

happened or not, But for us who do our best and train hard and help

ourselves to goodwill continue to rise in form of high caliber.

The best moment for me in field of Quizzing would be the day when China

denied the further on promotion of India in the NSG and by the

combination of fortune we were facing Chinese quiz team in final of

Asiatic Zoology quiz where we bashed them with high percentage which

became a remark to remember for me. the glories continues to tumble

and we further on managed to clinch the Quiz world Cup that was

organise by India. We defeated Brazil in the finals helping on to post

a memorable victory in quizzing which should be remembered for long at

least to those who realise the truth of our confidence and performance

at large.

There are still some quiz matches to come forward in 2017 and we are

preparing for them on hand with meetings and all stuff, But all in all

I am delighted to experience a great team who always enjoy with me as

a Visually Challenged quizzer and respect me as a captain. My comments

and comical remarks are being welcomed always and I still have to

learn a lot to deal with goodwill, Till then I hope that I can perform

better and help on India to make a remark in quizzing as my quizzing

periodics have been promoted till 2019 so I would be able to do more

good in the field of quizzing.

9. How as a writer by profession, if you ever get a chance to write about India, how would you describe it ?

First of all it is not easy to write about India as a country in whole

due to it's vast area, cultures and diversity. It won't be an easy

job, Even i thought to write a book on commercial history and European

affect in colonial age around 2018, But it won't be easy to describe

what India is today, If still I get the chance to do same, I would

describe the shift and transition in various field which have taken

shape from Ancient Harappa civilization to the present

Demonetization.

However as far the image of India is concerned, I would like to create

the paradox and global representative standard in my research works. I

had surely shown that image in my 5 research works in past which were

dedicated to South Asian phenomenon in context of 'Indian

Subcontinent' where I did create writing image of India in context of

'Nation', 'Gender', 'Ethnicity', 'Society', 'History', 'Religion' and

'Literature' thus it was great to work with SNDT University in those

research works, But due to being disabled they put allocations and

charges so I couldn't continue that research programme further on.

Yet my idea to continue research is on the go with MLA and Blue Book

methods of research works and I would like to do more research on

scientific methods of cultivating India in the global world and I

should try to create an image of ideology which should represent

Indianization and Indian impact in global phenomenon indeed so an idea

should be clarified at large.

You will definitely get success in all your ventures , i wish you all the best for your future Saurabh .

I acknowledge Pallavi madam for her time, expertise and questions; My heart felt thanks to you for your supportive role and cooperation.
