A tribute to Honorary Soul

When certain great people die who are known to society by their virtual work, then their legacy is chanted and they are called back to the present only by forces of memories. Such things happens not only because they are wished to do more great works or perform better tasks, but to recognise what they have done to the social cause and how big the loss it is when they leave this great earth to which they belong. Similar type of feeling may have been felt when an honorary soul left this earth in the 2nd month of 2019 leaving all of us dumpfounded as we were kept in factual slumber by himself that things are getting back positively and he may recover from his illness after all the hospital procesure shall go on. Thus it is a kind of loss which has it's certain influence and for those all who know him is a saddening moment to show our grief and a tribute at least to recognise the greatness this man has for the creative circles. He was known across the rhythmic world with his excillence, was a great heart and an accurate personality of his own standards, and He was a hope for many of those to whom the creattive influence belong not only in India but also in the world for which he shall be remembered for long. It is a huge sad news for all of us who had known Dev Bhardwaj sir and the news is shocking itself when It was considered in afternoon of 10th of February 2019 that the update about his death came shocking us all. We surely miss you sir from deepest of our heart, know what you were for the Inter-continental global writing approach and shall try to hold on to the legacy for as long as the time goes making sure that your contribution to the cultural sphere continue to be continously reminded enough. As far my personal interaction are concerned, i came to know Dev sir around August 2018 when he offered me a chance to contribute a poem on the 12th indian Writer's festival to be held on 23-24th of October 2018 in Indore. Though I may have not known long enough to consider, One thing I am sure that he was man of standards and knew how the authority of right presentation guarantees smooth functioning of all the works in action for which I shall miss him as a creative administrator as well. I knew him well enough this 6 months and I am also shocked by his last impressions left to be rhythmic only with his soul resting in peace as he passed away on 10th of February 2019. This is a short tribute to you honorary sir for the commitments you had in the creative sphere and I am sure we all who knew you all across the world are still in shock and wish to give tribute in memories of your great legacy. Only we can say is that May your soul rest in peace, thanks a million for making a sphere of writing like Kafla Intercontinental to actual writing force by your cultural commitmens and I am sure we all will continue to try our best to set the standards you have left by trying to come into your footsteps. We miss you a lot, wish to deeply thank you for your great literary contributions and at last May you rest in mortal peace, Amin...

The lightboom band gig in Makati, Manila

Makati is the city that is known for it's coffee pubs, cultural glory and equal set up by the way it responds to the cultural nights and that is what we had been hoping for when in the early evening as a musical band we prepared ourselves for the Musical gig. Generally uptil now people had come to know what the 'The lightboom band' does and we were up for the challenge as we also had to perform up to the task with experts coming to analyse and thence a poetry night was also planned later after the musical performances which had to be kept in mind while performing on stage. In such basic conception what was the major concern that we should keep ourselves up to the time limit set as when the fb event was created we had expressed ourselves very clearly for what time introductions, musical night and poetry sessions would go on and we had to keep ourselves into that time frame to set up all core meetings with hussle and bussle happening with more people coming to the event and making it a cracker. When we started the show though we were very great to see the early impression and thence having certain time limit on hand with all the musical systems getting set the night was going to be a cracker with every musical person of the team responded with loud cheers, jeers and delight and thence we took the advantage and launched on to make it a cracker by all means. First the introduction of the people from the academic group proceeded in which the 8 faces from India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia were included who introduced themselves gracefully and explained their cause. Once that was settled, the multigenre writers including me went to the stage and raising our hands into the stands we introduced ourselves and the genre for which we had been here which was phenomenal in all respects. However there was a small hiccop and the old poetry friend Nick sir felt deranged himself deciding later to quit from our co-author project thus the poetry book titled 'Winner's love' has to be disposed of and now it shall be my own responsibility to write a book by my own commitment separately titled 'Culture of World ward 2' by myself which I announced on stage and it was equally congratuated with loud cheers. Besides the third introduction had certain great writers from England and they had come to review the event thence they introduced their cause to the night where it was also met with great cheers. After that a short evening supper time was announced and all who have gathered hardly felt eating themselves into the great cultural night thus in the food gathering it was now all settled for the musical night that was approaching on all fours now. After the supper was over, everybody was curious enough and all the people that had come went back to their seats now waiting for the musical night to come and let the Indian music rock into the stage that was set for our singers to perform and make the most of it by their musical voices. As planned before there were exactly four musical songs written and composed by ourselvss that had to be performed with the introduction of the team so that went great with complete agreement. First the musical instruments launched to the musical gears and thence the singers took on making the most of it which was great in all respects. The momentum they had required was on and hence with huge cheers, loud night voices and gearing move the musical team has impressed all which was the need of the hour and it went fantastic in all respects. Finally after the musical night it was getting late and time was running out thus without any hesitation the Poets were asked to come on stage and Nick sir was also invited amongst all of them for his self-poetry book 'Winner's love' now who's poetic lines he would be reading for which from inside he was pleased no dout though he was still confused with all the performances of Indians going around with Hindi on it's top gears. In the poetry session around 8 poets recited their poems on basis of the alphabetical order and it all went great with the people smiling around, the crowd was thinning but still interested and it was a cracker. On my part I got the chance to read poems of 'Asian Winds' and I did it with great joy feeling elated to get such a great response. Ultimately it was time for closing and for that honorary owners of the Corner Tree Cafe went to the stage and by their gratitude, thank you note and our acknowledgements to them the night was almost over with all went well. We are extremely thankful to our parents, family, and all who have trusted and supported our judgement in this musical cause which was great to see and the smiles are great on those faces who have been faithful to continue backing us on. However for those who not trust or get confuse now also I have said it countless times that for me 'Community first' approach is the key and if they don't believe it no matter what be the situations then they dont count for us and in our community approach only those things matter that are trusted on us. Finally I am highly obliged to the Corner Tree Cafe, their owners and they have agreed also to host a charity event next day for local Disability circle that is pleasing, Thus it is great to see you all contributing with such enthusiasm and we shal be happy to you for yor great support. For now it's goodbye Makati, thank you all for your love and turning up in such huge numbers, it was a great experience by all accounts...

Climate change conference in Swalberd

Swalberd is world's biggest place where Polar bears collectively meet for their community gathering and it is also one of those environmental places in Norway where the ice sheet issue can be most clearly discussed without considering virtual biaases or threats to consider into virtual capacity. Generally it is a place that is located closer to the North Sea and very cold in it's climatic posture but in recent times it has faced environmental challenges of rising heat across the hemisphere and thus this place is the best potent platform by which the issue of glacial deplition can be addressed most effectively. To make it an orderly affair, thus certain agencies, climate experts and professionals met on 6th of February 2019 for a climate change confrence that would have a core issue to understand by addressing the challenge of glaciation and to understand how it is going to make a certain effect the whole discussion would take on the move. The key focus was the cultural affect of the climate change in the ice sheet and thus Swalberd was chosen as a historic place to represent and thus Mr. Pant was very delighted to be part of it and share his valuable inputs about the whole issue around. The confrence began with the discussion on the glaciation with it's core issues, valid perspective and how it is taken on as a concern by the environmentalists where it's frequent facts and misrepresented concepts became the heated discussion. Once that was done it proceeded furtehr addressing the problems of glaciation and how it's increasing water may have a rising effect to any island country that is located on the shore line. After that issue was discussed by the representatives of the developing countries, the issue of glaciation turned to the migration, process of movement and human civilisation in which Mr. pant mainly put his views and it was a segment of rapid fire debate arguements which he marginally enjoyed. Being victorious in the Oslow Grand Quiz 2019 the previous day he has managed to ask his team also to accompany him and they also presented their facts considering the environmental challenges to express and hence in this segment the people of PH community presented their facts about their serious concerns on the ice deplitions across the world which was entertaining and satisfying for the others as a great impact. After three certain impressive session of the confrence the refreshments were offered and as always Mr. pant with his team prefered the vegetarian menu enjoying it for the moment with Norwegian quezine tasting greatly with local vegetarian items to serve with more chocolate that lighted their mood. During the tea time he got the chance to meet prominent environmental leaders like Antoen Karlae, Scot Bolskaev, Yonathe Ghrolse and many others that made his mood lit high and his team felt great to be part of the confrence discussing the key core as the time was also ticking by and the last segment of the session for the confrence was approaching. Before that though Mr. pant took the oppurtunity to discuss the process of contribution to the environment regarding issue of Glaciation and he was assured by the Swalberd committee of ice balance that there are ways which should be informed to him later that made his journey happier by all ways. Discussing that how valuable to contribute he explained to other team members about snow management and he turned with team smiles all around going inside to enjoy the last session of the confrence which he was sure must have some resolution aplication to come through that may help in keeping balance of snow around the world. In the last session of the confrence the resolution framework was brought into view mainly focusing that in what way the ice deplition can be managed and how it should also be made sure that people around the globe shouldn't be disconcerted with false facts and their impact. It was generally agreed that a common understanding of balance for the glaciation must be considered and snow balance must be prevailed without it's multiple misuse by any group or community that should serve the environmental harmony. The countries of Scandenavia agreed to a nodal agreement on Snow management which was also signed by other European members and hence with india keeping the track on through willing impact of Mr. pant and his team leading to the signitory process was also pleasing for the organisers, after that process thence the confrence was over. It was one more memorable moment for Mr. Pant to cherish about and thence he wil keep it safe in his memories cherishing it's cultural and environmental joy for long by all means at large...

India the champion of Oslow Grand quiz 2019

This tournament was not easy for us as a team where we were expected more by many who has been following the game and also we have a point, not to prove for ourselves, but to those who have been wondering whether we had gone back to our work and has forgotten the glories of this sport in our hectic other life schedule or whether we are still with it's complete intensity which it demands. This was the thought process behind which we as a team gathered back on 6th of January and next 25 days we took our preparations making sure that we used them to great effect while training for it's standard to suit and bring to actual cultural core. Once we had gone on to Norway and the quiz tournament got gearing from 2nd of February there was hardly any time left for any other plans to come through and we realised the hectic time management of this area which finally made us recognise the speed and accuracy required to be in the platform. This was benefitial also as it was going to be vital in the knock out matches with high qualified teams using speed to defeat their opponent and hence we had to counter our experiences that later proved handy at all costs. Prepared but still anxious what to be coming in front, we took on the charge and got ourselves ready for the tournament looming ahead on the morning of 2nd and from thence on we were on the move to make the mark of accuracy for ourselves at large. Knowing the tradition of my community we were already planning how to tackle braille round and it went well in all ways. I took on the responsibility as captain to read first the braille questionire handed through and then also took charge to write with lifting the braille slate and inserting the white paper and picking my stylus as it is done in all first rounds of quiz tournament in our community standards. Once the answers started to blend in through they were fast and i expected the same from my team also insisting during my training session back at home that how we should do that. Happy that things are going into the right direction we were one of the 4 first finishing teams and that time lock gave us the momentum we required to go through for the next round being healthy to recognise us how our impetus is going to be in the whole tournament processing through. As also 8 countries had been dismissed at the end of round, and that happened due to their slow speed and lack of accuracy of answering which was sad but thats how the game goes on and some have to stay and other have to leave which we understand and thence the next round proceeded. The coming round was the digital round and we got bit surprised knowing that it will have three separate phases on the basis of the teams coming in which means that few more would be going home due to their slower responses at the end of the round. The first phase went wel for us as we sat in alphabetical order and there we were quick to go through one word answer type pattern. In the second round we took advantage of our e reading capacity and used JAWS to great effect while answering that proved healthy once it was over. In the third phase it was the team move and thence all of us remained on touch of game ending ourselves 4th in the last group stage as the knock out phase was clear and only 16 teams remained from the 40 in all who have been in counting in the start. We did a short press confrence after the digital round and according to the tournament rules by the name toss we were asked to face the first knock out against Sweedon andn we accepted it with happiness looking forward to the knock out stages looming ahead. However knock out stage was not as challenging affair for us once we have witnessed how the others team play and use their tactics well enough to support each other as the speed was the key element and that was what we focused to make sure that things tick by with our performances. In the round of 16 as mentioned above we faced Sweedon and their left and right challenger did pose critical competition for us but with slowness of their captain and vice captain we took chances and it paid off for us in the round of 16 as we defeated them with margin of 8 rounds to 18 phases. In the round of 8 from where Quarters mainly begin we thence faced Russia and knowing them well back from facing in Indian Birds Quiz in 2017 main match we knew their weaknesses wel and launched on to the double speed tactics that suited well and helped in the positive result of 21 to 11 rounds making us through for the Semi finals looming above. In the semi finals as expected a pacific team to be, We met New Zealand and we faced them with a particular challenge from George and Elis being captain and Vice captain, thus the match went into the tie breaker after 17 round a piece but we made sure that it not goes too far thus in the second tie breaker we launched more speed and thence we managed it through to be in the finals first time as Indian VI team to be qualified for the Oslow Grand Quiz and the happy moment I guess were not far as well from there on. In the finals our biggest chalenge was Naves Kalmeiav who is one of the proficient expert of quizzing and has been the key cause due to which norway has been great success at home thus we studied him closely and recognised his moves to make sure that we can take him in line as I am sure that opposition would have done in consent relative to me and my team going forward into the finals. Once it was done we as team also made plan on the whole team as individual players and all 3 boys and our senior lady as vice captain came to the party and me considering the challenge recognised through experience that which moves should suit best. In the finals generally here were 4 basic rounnds in which 1st had 8 phases containing 3 -half minutes each, the second round containing 16 phases with equally 3-half minutes each, the third round containing 4 segments with 9 minutes each and the last round having bigger 2 phases containing 1 hour each as time limits to cover. We took our time adjusting to the regulations, made plans and after all time management, words from coach as well as captain and the exact accuracy to act we proceeded in our own styles. After all the pressure used, all the experiences tilted, the accuracy and speed on highest show, India managed to defeat Norway from 27 bolts to 17 in all 4 rounds leading it 4-3 which was great in all respects. Here we would like to thank all who have been great support including the local staff, the Indian External ministry for our arrangements, our coach with management staff and all who have been with their blessings and wishes to make sure that our confidence not become low. My sincere thanks to parens, family and all the relatives for their trust and helping us through cheering for the sake of it. A quick thank you note to the Indian Quiz Federation, Norway committee of the Blind and international Quiz Federation for all the facilities and the arrangement with their heartiest of cooperation. And ultimately thanks to the crowd who came in such huge numbers here at the Oslo Grand Hotel coridor making it a great experience, Thank you Norway for your love, We shall always remember it as visually impaired, For now cheers from charlie...
