Fun moments with Saurabh Pant.
One of the most versatile writers - Saurabh Pant, I am glad you managed to have some time for this fun Interview.
1. Tell me Saurabh what belongs to you but other people use it more than you ?
Generally there
are many things in my life that are very close to me but people use it more
than my own self preservation but to make it clear in perspective of my native
land you will have to get through the concept first.
My city that is
known for it's prestige of culture with harmony believes in Public ownership
and thus if someone rises greatly from amongst then he or she becomes 'child of
all' which is to say that every person in the village or rural town expects
great things from him or her.
this is a
position which is certain challenge to fulfil but equally comforting because in
your painful times they all stand together as it was in case of my broken thigh
back in 2015.
Now as this
concept is clear Let me make it more clear by mentioning about the impact I get
from writing and thence my performance as a creative person that does come to
perspective in context of the city's virtual percentage.
It greatly help
my area's tourism to boost with equal global ferment thus The thing people use
most in relative to me that belongs to myself equally is the position we all get
together and this is the way by which it comes to actual perfection.It is the
potential which we give to each other and by their backing up I have gained the
digital success but they are equally benefited from it for which I am very
deeply thankful to their inter-relation and hope that they continue to get
impressed by with as I do by their equal cultural and social support that is
most vital in all respects at large...
2. 'Existential
solitude is my peace but I want to go beyond it to explore the land which is
the sanctum sanctorum of imaginary world'?
Beneath the
river where boats connect making heavy noises there lives my essence.
Through the
tunnels where all rail traffic meets that is my way to write being in them but
also living them in my heart out.
A smile of
peaceful house with family around encouraging for new ventures! That is also my
strength in complete solitude.
And a quiet
mountain where people live in hussle-bussle challenging your potential with
asking your schedule is also part of my way to give the best I have in me as a
writer which is only inspired by their constant presence for which I am grateful.
As far examples
are concerned, half of my life has been in case of exploration for various
reasons and it bring me through to the public sphere with noises and hassle all
over and that challenge also lights the writer in me by exploring realist
perceptions with more possibilities to make a great writing sphere.
There are ways
for which I have explored in most of my life- first for chances to seek in
consent of curing of vision loss, then for settled schooling and ultimately for
quiz as an academic sport where I always find large gathering, complete noise
and a huge place of influence to explore by making most of it.
Thus I love to
be part of it trying to go beyond the solitude and peace and hoping to get more
challenge that is perspiring for me to become a better writer all the time and
this is what my take on it as well all the same at large.
Though one tip I
want to give other writers in context of both either working in peaceful area
or going bang in the loud public areas-
You need to
recognize which work may suit you most easy when it is on the line to make
things get in your sidelines.
If you are not
able to recognize what type of writing work shall suit what kind of environment
then your work even in hectic domain can cost you some problems and make no
mistake writing errors require critical attention that can lead to serious
complications for which you need to be on the right way forward.
Thus do realize
how to work things out and if you are able to point out certain scenarios to
your benefit in hustle-bustle and also use right application in peaceful
solitude things can be really great in all respects...
3. Describe your
latest work either with a poem or a song or in any form of expression.Take it as a fun game and it should not be more than 10 lines.
Surely for the
fun of it, here I am going to present a short extract of 8 lines from my poetry
eBook titled Asian Winds-
As a brief
information to those who not know: This book was first published through Poetry
Ireland
in July 2018 in print and in January 2019 has been presented as an E Book on
lulu.
Now here you go
on with the short extract as promised above
**Certain hope
circle on surface once more,
The waves that
were rushing has calm down,
The time for
change, snatching old system, comes close!
As new weather
also smile making all worries become drown.
Certain memories
shine on the horizon in a separate approach,
The heat that
was hot has become pleasant,
The time for
making new laws, also glow, above!
As new weather
start to spread its own crescent...***
To give you and
others a short piece of information- These 8 lines are from introductory
chapter of the EBook and the poem to which it belong is known as 'New Weather'.

Thanks for the
chance-
4. during
writing sessions, if you have to skip snacks, music and nap.
What would it
be?
It depends what
type of project I am writing as various projects can differ in size, commitment
and impression put behind them.
Generally I like
music in skipping times between writing when I am generally focusing poetry of
all sorts.
When it is
obviously fiction writing like short-story, adventure writing or treasure
writing, then I like to have snacks.
And ultimately
nap comes handy during research work as they require lot of energy, focus
element and impression to decide what may present what type of cultural exclamation.
Thus all three
comes to their place in different time of writing presence depending on what
type of project is in need of the hour around.
Though one thing
I would like to say that there is something more delicate and impressive than
all these three mentioned above that has its impact on my writing.
It has to do
with the calm and cool weather of my city Nainital and by its virtual presence
it becomes great to work around.
It provides the
essence of intellectual support, a web of great intensity that wants you to go
on towards your adventure and go on and on to make it a sure entity.
Thus it has its
great presence in my writing styles and helps me to continue working in great
spirits and provides phenomenal energy at large...
5. In Childhood it’s
green and in youth it is red and in old age it becomes black. I am sure you
know this tasty food item ? Its a Riddle of a food item which holds a very important place in your culture .
Before
explaining its impact in our culture, here is some factual information about
it:
Origins: Nepal
English name:
Bay-berry or Box-myrtle
Scientific name:
myricaceae buch-ham
Plant:
Myricaceae
Source: An
introduction to Nepalese food plants
Shared on
blogger by 'Taste of Nepal'.
Now let me
explain its significance in our own culture by which it is used for as well as
how it has certain environmental role to play for in our areas-
Many times when
people feel that they require some separate taste with sour qualities to look
for they go for it where they are able to pluck them in large quantity when
it's red and use it for their individual cultural as well as medicinal
purposes.
Generally there
are certain Ayurvedic components for which it can be used and for it's inner
particle is also separately collected specially for people who have choking
problems something getting stuck in their throat while having food for which it
is applied and also it's sauce is used for certain digestive attributes.
Besides what we
do in our culture that we utilize it for gathering purposes which is to say
that the local neighborhood has the tradition of sharing their village 'gems'
and whenever any house is indented by their village relatives, then they share
these fruits across the whole neighborhood.
Thus there is
also the symbol of collective intent behind them in our culture which shows the
intent by which this fruit is utilized at large.
Finally here I
would like to explain its significance in tastes of Nainital and how it is
virtually an impressive container of cultural symbol-
As explained
above that the fruit has a cultural symbol through distribution amongst neighbor, thus what it does most that it connects city with village making
sure that both cultures continue to recognize their sharing habits.
It is also able
to help in people's change of taste while going through them and thus the sour
taste of fruit keeps people of the city interested.
There is also a
procession of local salesmen walking through smaller towns of the city selling
them during their virtual season which also connects the fruit to its local
interpretations.
Ultimately what it
does that it gives assurance of cultural taste and in the city that has
multiple tradition it has its own unique place for which it is enjoyed, has
great tastes and after clearing its seed inside people enjoy it in great
enthusiasm...
6. 'Writing irrigates
the desert that our life has already become.'
What do you
think?
Walking on
shores with heavy sand not aspiring any perfection or silently trudging the
villages where nobody knows you is a proposition of the modern catalyst life
that has become a reality today.
It is a boring
or more rather a critical position where time management has become a challenge
to maintain on all costs with social speed and making only money has become an
advantage to serve that hardly brings any joy after certain frame of economic
essence.
It has become an
empty vase with flowers not fresh or an empty basket that hardly promises ripe
fruits of best nurtured hopes without which the life is hardly any great
blessing to look for.
Therefore there
is the need of certain cultural task or application that can serve in such
heavy basking sunlight in our lives and for such fresh water resources in form
of various genres of writing comes to aid helping us become pleasant with equal
cultural impact.
In such
situations the reason for this kind of a creative effort like writing comes to
mind is due to things has become necessary that gives peace while it's progress
is on and it also gives adventure on hand to make the most of it.
It has been
certainly a promise of irrigated fields and give hope to live that makes it a
special task not by it's virtue but also by challenges that come in all sorts
while we are proceeding for it and make life freshen by committing to the
mission in form of a writing venture.
This is why I am
also sure that it irrigates our life’s which shall be desert if it is not in our present day
percentage stature as a creative measure and thence we shall consider it as
part of our lifestyle whenever we feel that we are stuck with gloom of the
desert at large...
7. The great
hope of society is in individual character?
How your talents
and achievements helped you to form such a wonderful personality.
Sun lights with
empowering rays but moon awaits for its turn a present calmness- When it comes
to my social stature you will generally find both in my nature.
Normally I am a
busy person with my own ways, but in certain elements I have both calm lava
that gives light and bursting volcano that threatens any possible mechanism if
it comes to resolve challenges.
Thus I am
probably a tactician by whom my surrounding culture gains momentum helping
their positions so once they realise how they can opt to my nature it certainly
help me as well as their own probable system.
Though as far my
personality is concerned, I have a liberal perspective towards things that goes
on about where I don't like to dominate completely but also let other have
their say and if those words have some probable influence on improving myself I
take that in my strides.
Normally as an
author My personality has improved since I wrote my 1st book back in 2014 which
has happened due to inspiration from many great people and specially my family
and friend circle who I let them be part of things and allow their vital
feedbacks that help in carving a better move around.
However in
context of Quizzing I take advice very serious by those who are experts of the
field and have played it in international level understanding it's vital core
which help greatly and that also inspires other who want to contribute in
multiple fields.
Ultimately there
is one thing as a personal impact that I am very fond of and it is contribution
of all which I feel better to make through, and as in nainital Public ownership
is more impressive which means that everyone wants to share and be part of your
commitment, it brings more vital perspective into account and help my
personality settle with multiple social and cultural scope in all ways.
Thus I feel as
that to polish a diamond it's blacksmith is required and to carve house of
small bricks an architect is need of hour- Same goes with my development as a
person for which countless are responsible and thus at last My gratitude to all
of them- Hope many more commitments to come on and shall aid in my
inspirational attitude by their impact at large...
I wish you all the best for your Future projects Saurabh.
