One show with many scenes
A person with many scars, lot of hurdles, many problems, and even in lack of all solutions, the persistence to go on, to move with the train leaving the old cities behind is what Mr. Pant's creative life speaks in its entire volume and writing essence till now.
He started his journey very young when he lost his vision, and it was this cause which led him to explore around his country in search of medical treatment and continue to carry on the findings, But more than that it was a learning curve for him as a child and it was a kind of inspiration in his later stage after he accepted his vision impairment, went to such school who support visually impaired students and moved on with it to make a big impact in the similar circles in wider precepts.
Although, the skill to develop writing began in this school after joining in Dehradun from class 7th here, and during the 6 years spent till the class 12th, the competitions that used to take place were something of a boost for him, where he not only learnt the plans to execute, but also recognised his writing potential for which he would always be gratified to his school for building an early writer inside him, though his habit to keep heavy GK notes had helped him to settle in too during his school days as well.
However, as a writer he still required few depth touches, various genres to cover, and have to realise his skills in an effective way for which an open environment would require and that got settled during his college days. Here he had to face many challenges and diseases like heavy fever and dengue, but he kept himself busy in open competitions not only with his visually impaired fellow mates but also with sighted comrades and it gave him a clear vision. Thus his effort in college magazine and ultimately publishing a book in his 3rd year led to his beginning as an author, Although he lost his thigh in a breaking accident in his hostel at the end of his college days and everything seems to have gone to the wrong direction once again to go through the recovery phase for which he had to go back home and settle things around.
The time he got during his injury recovery was luckily used to positive effect as he has connected well to Mumbai University and while he was recovering from his operations, he typed around 6 to 7 heavy page research works on SAARC and became popular with political research where in few he was applauded by the University press while in other he got stuck with critical analyses and reference modulations. Also in these days, he continued to be on the mark with getting in touch to a Karnataka based temporary web portal and here he was well received, and it was from here that he got lifted up and never looked back in the world of content sharing on the web. Still they were early days but the momentum has begun and he thrived on it for long.
There was still more flourish he required as an author however, and that started to blend in once he entered the international circuit of writing that could only be possible by web writing being improved to better calibre. His contact with Nick sir proved to be a dream run for 2 years as he managed to first co-author him in his first international work, and then created his own work in November 2016, and from there on he didn't look back. He continued to work with more teams, other publishers, and the traditional publishing also came to his way which made it much easy to do and make larger effect. Thus with probably around 123 works to his name, 6 awards from global literary platforms, and contributing in many anthologies in India and the world around have finally helped him to establish as an author around.
Yet, one aspect of Mr. Pant besides being a fine author is his influence round the academic sports like Quizzing, and it got started in his school days after joining it as a visually impaired and getting the feel to it as a blessing in disguise with some nice starts to help his school win across different states and set the tone. Also in college days, he got the experience of up and down in the quiz circuit within his own community, but the turning point was Let's Intern quizzing championship from where he started to get his name settle in, and despite his thigh being broken, he was still in touch and at the end of recovery period he got the chance to represent his country in the field of quizzing from where he never looked back. Today being captain of his team, being victorious in more than 13 quiz tournaments across globe that also include Quiz world cup of 2016 held in India and Quiz world cup of 2020 held in Belgium, and lot more to come its a great journey of 5 year since his entry to cheer for sure.
Thus from facing challenges to rising again, from being crack down to get blend in all situations, to face pain and then to stand back, its been many scenes behind the curtains with one show and like it is said the show must go on. There has been pangs of scars, many crack downs, lot of smacking round the park, but still the life keeps moving and so the race to be on the path which Mr. Pant started when he was a child and was ready to face the bolting mountain in front of him. He is gratified to all who have supported him including his parents and family, also his school and college, and his Writing community and Quiz circuit round the world that play as strong competitors, and let’s hope it all goes on like it is to be, for now living those moments to heart, its cheers from Charlie to all...

Koala
This unique species of Marsupial family in mammel group can only be found in forests of Australia.
Here they can be foun aroun backyard reasons where they are known to have their survival line an make their own sheds to exist.
Such type of lesser hard line environment is liked by them though they can also be visible in some cases closer to the reasons where Rain forests are slightly on the lower side.
They are very slow, lazy moving creatures comparing forest's speed, and yet live their life greatly.
Generally they use their back to great effect while moving which gives them extra edge to move around the forest line while moving in such a slow formation.
What this type of pattern help is that they are able to spot what to choose as well as what to leave while having their food habbit which help in their right balance indeed.
As far their diet is considered they only feed on Euchiliptis leaves and where these trees stop to grow in Australian forests, so they have also vanished from there.
Such type of behaviour is known as 'Formative approach' amongst their family which is only taught once they are grown about 5 years to follow such certain trees to make them their feeding habbit and once that is decided they become a process of interchange between each other that physically shape in the core ecology.
Generally such type of mentality is also vital for them in context of survival line as the best to follow and settle following line is thought to be the expert.
In Koala groupings, The mates are chosen on the basis of environmental quality they are able to spot which is decided on the fact that how they can convince each other of more known forests and areas that makes the final adjustment possible.
Once that is settled, the female help the male to make the small green house, they get settled and after 5 to 7 months of process the mother brings the child to the erth which stays under her vigil as it grows an well protected from hunters which are not many but those who hunt them are serious threat and the mother needs to have the safety of young ones in check regularly.
In context of family, The mother is able to judge the right mechanism for her child as well as like all Marsupials has a smaller inner pouch to help the young one survive it's early years inside by which they protect thence Koala are equally up to the measures with their mechanism.
What makes them separate from other Australian Marsupials as a family that they have a family planning and settle that practice on regular basis to aid it in longer process making it a strongly developed cultural mechanism through it’s approach.
However when threats are considered relative to their existence, human has been the most threatening hunter even in Australia and here they are killed for their wooly mass as well as their meat by the locals.
Besides pochers like to have their skin for heavy market application for which they follow these slow creatures as well as trap them by throwing wind nets to catch them in forest range.
Though the biggest challenge for the Koala is the illness they have and it has to do with their Eucliptis diet due to which they sometime have to face this type of skin disease by which they die in large numbers and require protection by medicinal care.
When it comes to safety- IUCN has been closely watching their count as well as categorised them in 'Endangered' species in their red list to provide them safety.
Besides The WWF has established a branch of psychological and medical group who looks after their lifestyle, protection, virtual process as well as follow their daily habit helping them to exist without infection or any kind of illness.
As far the pochers are concerned, they are strongly abided by law and are also punished on the basis of the acts commited against such lives or such natural creatures. by which means they are also attacked with arms if found guilty or heavily charged on the basis of crimes done against Koala.
It is a great creature to watch, though slow on it's feet, but equally impressive in eco balance and still it attracts great vigil an has been great source of environmental consumer for the Australian eco culture.
The problem it face that because of it's slow speed it is always in target thus it require human conservation strategies so if things go rightly it can be a great component to help this creature survive and live it's great life.
All that is required is that we should provide great mechanism, help in it's existence, and if we are able to do it greatly It can exist in great way and can play it's vital role for the Australian environment.

Arctic fox
This creature is easily seen closer to Arctic when it gets frozen where it is witnessed trying to buck up some left food or hunt smaller prays available in white snow.
Being a mammel it generally hibernates but to do that, it scavange and hunt nicely whenever oppurtunity comes and also teaches it's rising cubs how to make it a possible impression.
Generally what Arctic fox is known for is that it is able to locate areas where it can gain more food and make it it's habit to take chances of left out prays.
In consent of the family, Mother generally breed 2-3 cubs at a time and mating period is before the Arctic snowfall when sun is visible.
The father is known to be rusty member who is visible only around the mating times and once it ends so the process of being closer to family and after that the male takes it's own expedition to support certain survival.
What is the speciality of the family of Arctic fox that if they are able to spot out their old family relations they keep them strong and if any bigger predator like Polar bear approaches the combine strength is terrible and in their unity they can also go to white wash attack that is a unique family situation indeed.
It is known for it's clever brain, accuracy to hunt and even steal when required necessary according to the climate situation in Arctic to stay on basis of weather.
Besides it very closely stays near to the icy bird colonies and take advantage when their young ones fall down in practice of flight that becomes it's meal or brunch in process of survival that helps the fox's family system greatly also.
Usually in mistaken situations, the creature comes to act and kill them as well as teaches it's young ones to do the same that can come vital in their future when they may face struggle to survive in white weather of Arctic.
As far their predators are concerned, the biggest threat they have is from the Polar bears who can attack their caves while searching for hybernation and can counter such places by killing even the adult ones.
These foxes are also in threat in their early age from Arctic Lings who can target them deceiving their strength of speed and attacking them from big paws that make things challenging for the species while it is in grown up stage trying to exist in such environment.
Ultimately the most challenging issue for them is when they start to recognise the change of nature while Arctic is in front of sun and at that sphere of time it bring them in contact of Marine creatures or bigger marine immigratory birds who are able to kill them with ease and hence it is not an easy way for them trying to adjust such situations.
Creatures are not the only predators Arctic fox has to face like all other living animals in the world and hence their encounter against the explorers or tourists in form of Humans hasn't been a great one specially for those who are merrily wishing to travel to Arctic for their hunting regions as well and has used the nature to great potential.
Though their hunt or pray by humans is banned under certain Arctic treaty, there is hardly a balance in the way humans has tried to kill them specially for their wooly hair or furr and hence Arctic fox has also been the target for some people in form of meat who have base settlement closer to border areas of Arctic ocean.
Besides these creatures also get infected by the noises of the moving bases of human activities and has been the hunt of environmental discourse in recent years by such transport movement that has caused their numbers to shrink and hence certain animal organisation have to step forward for calling to save them indeeed.
In local bases closer to arctic, certain scientists have committed great movements to stop huge hunting by their fellows and has asked for conserving such great creature which is much unique than compared to it's other fox relatives in entire world and has developed itself to such great critical environmental conditions.
the arctic treaty, IUCn and World Wildlife fund all have come together to address the issue of conserving crreatures with furr in such icy conditions and IUCN has also set up a mammel watching committee specially for Arctic that also closely look on progress and safety of such great creatures that has a prominent list including Arctic Fox.
Ultimately if we are careful in our approach for movement across the Arctic, recognise that Arctic foxes like creatures get affected with our environmental disaray, and can help in protecting the nature around them- There is a chance of protecting them and we the humans can solve it the best way by which they can be conserved that can bring great results in longer terms for which we must commit and save them for sure...

Himalayan Monal
This bird is the state bird of Uttarakhand and is popular for it's crow shape bulging rusque.
Here it is closely connected with cultural and social customs and respected highly.
It also used to be state bird of Himanchal Pradesh but later on Indian Tragopan has replaced it's name.
Still it has a cultural presence in Himanchal Pradesh and locals consider them of great value.
Not only it is found there in good numbers but preservation of the bird is also done with great presence.
However it's prestige is equally popular in Nepal where it is the country's national bird.
They consider it of great significance and has unique position in their hearts.
Prayed as bird of nature and 'rainfall' they consider it to be of great connector to god and hence pride them well.
It is considered that the hunting of these beautiful birds for cause of making hat's tip forced their numbers to reduce in Colonial era.
Though when it was realised that certain factory has deficiate their numbers, eforts to conserve were started by same groups.
They also promoted 'quit to hat' movement for the safety of this beautiful bird and hence Jacop Anderster is greatly creditted for such movement.
Historically it also has diversity when it comes to separate region of Kumau and Garwal.
Though certain hunting habits have reduced their location and they are protected under certain laws.
The government of Hilly states has made a separate unit of forest experts who look after their growth and make sure that they are consered well.
It is common to locate them in smaller packs closer to the water locations where they bask in sun.
It is also known for it's symbols, scars and patterns in numbers that diverse it's actual capacity.
This bird is also popular for it's beak beauty and can be easily witnessed it's 'beak cleaning practices' while sitting on the tree.
Ultimately the bird has witnessed many destructive forces in past, has been part of threat to extinction and been brought back well.
But still it require safety and we must make sure it's safety be our priority.

Human effects to marine plants
It is a basic idea amidst people who study Bottany that plants that are found in marine nature are generally known as Macrofytes and have their own identity, preserving capacity and life cycle to settle on their existence.
Such macrofytes grow in different water cycle, have an entire rotation of taking their food structure from the Sun that can be sometimes low and even in front close to Equator, or can differ while its close to the poles, and hence according to such macrofytes can differ in their nature and stature as well.
Thence, when we say the word 'human effects' to such marine plants, it can't be considered in a single sphere and it has to be separated into various type of modules and according to geographic region we are going to discuss those human effects to such marine plants around the world as far their life cycle, structure and concern of their survival is considered for sure.
Firstly, human effects can be considered in context of contribution, preservation and evolution cycle, where such humans have been responsible to find new plant species at beginning of 20th century, excavated more countries, and this process of nature and invention brought them in touch with new plant world within Macrofytes in which this effect can be seen in the positive way.
However with the arrival of financial impirialism, we witnessed a sharp rise in trying to grow commercial interests, the interfearence of human communities with ports and harbour in such plant life, and in such sense humans started to destroy the plant settlements instead of helping things out and the industrial revolution module effected such macrofytes in a great way.
the same process of contributing to new plant species, the will to know them more and excavating more deep in the seas, and also setting norm or law or punishments for not abiding it has been a process of change and hence human effects to marine plants have been a very complicated process in wider prospect around.
However, with the arrival of modern techniques, advanced systems and varied propelling instruments of growth, Humans have become more vulnerable to such Macrofytes, and the causes such as overfishing, pollution, introduction of invasive species and even affecting largely to abundant plant species has become a major worry in recent years.
the heavy oil floods resulting with crux of ships travelling within the marine waters, introducing of new technology that leaque infrared and radioactive waves are damaging the life within the marine shores, and the way humans still want to grapel more further in hunger to prove and combat, it has resulted in a serious trouble for such plant life.
Although more than anything, the release of acid water, terrestrial machine deployment, and content fluttered on the sea beaches has become a more such a worry, and the more recent example of Ovvaccha bay in russia is enough to explain what humans are doing with the marine plantss and how much damage they have done as negative effects in modern concerns to such plant life within the marine areas.
One thing also have to be considered here more deeply than anything that we are talking of plants only, the reasons mentioned above can be in some ways be considered with marine creatures also but that is a complete different issue, and hence the effect of radioactive waves and invasive plants species is mostly debated than anything when it come to such marine plants and have to be visioned more clearly.
What such waves does to such plants that they do become weaker in strength to complete their food process, in regions such as Arctic their identity become lesser due to more quantity of such radioactivity, and even in warm waterbodies or shallow regions they are not able to procure their food process, and hence this wave effect by human techniques make it extremely threatening for their existence and identity.
Also in context of invasive species, sometimes humans in their approach to experiment with nature migrate few plant species from one place to another making their lives short, where humans try to show they are commited but indirectly make larger effects to such marine plant identity, and the way their polluted substance make some invasive plants species exist uniquely destroying other plant species for which its most dangerous as human effects to such marine plants around.
Thus there are many ways in which human affects marine plant life, it can be seen in both ways with destruction and development of existence for such plants, but the way invasive species have attacked is a serious concern, and yet hopefully Humans would realise sooner than later for their effects and would contribute in a right channel for such plant life indeed.
Also, the way in which they have effected is also going to damage entire marine life, as animals or creature world is vastly depended on such plant life, and by damaging such plants would surely infect their existence, and the cross breeding errors would seriously harm the environment of various diversed regions, for that Humans would have to recognise their efforts and would have to direct them in a right channel around.
In this way we need to realise the role of macrofytes, have to make sure that their growth and existence won't be effected by human interfearence, and with all the technology, if we can contribute in dicresing pollution, under water devastation, and lesser substance go into such marine waters to contain such plant damage, it would surely help in a great way and should be remembered for long as positive human effects at large...
