Disability Academic Conclave at Columbia University


It was a great momentum to have, share and express the views around when I witnessed the Conclave on Disabled people in Columbia university on 11th of December, 2017. However it won't have been possible without the great support of the School of International Public Affairs and the HAWG (Humanatarian Afairs Working Group) in progress to take the advantage, Yet we who visited from outside the US would also like to express our gratitude to the media who covered it and make it unique by their expressed impact. The conclave basically focused the question of Future for the Disabled people and mainly it focused the special branch of Disability known as Visually Impaired/Blind people and hence I had the great pleasure to observe the same and helped myself to great impression all around. The virtual conclave was separated in thre chaired round and it had fiel work sessions, cultural discussions, questionires to fill in through digital medium, short refreshments of Vegetarian demand by all of us and also the unique musical chair round from the North American group which was a great delight to observe. At the end it also had a shorter session on momentos and medals and It was great to have the experience and delight of witnessing it all by my ears and feeling it unique by being present there to witness. What the focal point of the conclave was that it focused the quest of academics in bigger Universities and their virtual scope for the Disabled people in similar ones. The discussions gathered the basic formula for the capacity of the intellectual standards and made things easy by virtual understanding of the fact that Accceptence must be priority of those who want us directly in the Inclusive education in greater universities like Oxford, Bosten, Columbia, Stanford, Relancoster, Hypothord, Benedict-o-lonrae and many others for the virtual sentiment of the whole standardised propersition. Let me now share the three sessions with separate group of continental impact with the Visually impaired and I am sure that you all will enjoy the flair. As a basic fact, the first session happened to be with the European batch of Visually impaired scholars; The second one focused the North American batch and the final one was the Commonwealth batch which was a great experience to observe all of them and their views on their upcoming future. The session 1 took place in the European hall of Sightloss chaimbour and the HAWG provided it's volunteers to cooperate for the refreshments and guideline and mobility transes to make it virtually possible. IN this session, We Observed VI Students from Albania, Kosovo and Belgium with great aspiration to feature in future, who have either studied or willing to study in Columbia University after getting selected for their virtual courses. Some of them had trie to apply for the management courses and some had been able to pass through the SIPA course so they had to be the Alumni. It was a great rrelish while talking to them and performing tasks of intellectual impact and by such virtue they showed great skill and patience to execute intellectual questions and solved conditional questions in a high ccalibre which was good to know. By all means, all three countries students expressed their national challenges for Vision impairment and expected that they will be treated well. The Session 2 took place in the Central memorial hall of Sightloss chaimbour and again HAWG provided volunteer and local groups to scort the visually impaired fellows to the chaimbour and also managed their refreshments and mobility fixture. In this session, It was great to feel as we Observed VI students from Mexico, Canada and US who have done great effort in Academics and made their global repute proud by helping out higher calibre of performances for their nationwide senarios. They performed poetry session, asked questions and we replied them well and they also played the musical chair round which was a great boost to witness. By all means, what they helped us to realise that they are comfortable with challenges as we are and they are ready for what is in stores for them in future which was a great feeling to recognise by their efforts indeed. Ultimately, The last but not the least, the Session 3 had great relish of newly rising commonwealth blind students and in this session we had great Joyous moments with VI scholars of India, Somalia, South Africa, Argentina and New Zealand in the Global Sightloss memorial with support of HAWG volunteers to understand their pattern and help us understand that to what level they expect global agencies to promote their educational paterns in their own nation and hope to flourish better than their country offer for the Sightloss sector. In this way what we came to know by acknowledging their questionire round and round chair performances by them that they are also hungry for better education and some of them who have been selected for SIPA must do well in future. By all means, they are willing to perform well and work hard and that's what we expect that our intellectual stature should rise finally. All the same, the seminar on innovation by Navi Raju sir was lighted for the last 15 minutes in the Columbia University benchmark near SIPA and we participate in that after charing the fellows from various countries and We had great relish to question and answer there as well. In all respect, Columbia University can do lot of good for all communities and we are thankful that they gave us the chance to realise the potential of the VI sector as well. It was a great momentum to have and I am thankful to my parents for letting me to participate in such high calibre conclave which was a career booster and heart lightening in all respects. Thank you all, Hope you all liked that and keep remembering the fact that until you are not aware, The darkness continue to press; There is a search of light and it comes from the darkness itself...

New York: A city of smiles


When you travel United States, what you expect basically is that you can get a cooler wind, better atmosphere, excilen people to support and finally peace with the world that can glow you with all means and hence you want to analyse the way people describe it when they travel the same city which is also known as City of Smiles as people are hospitable and they welcome you in high calibre with a sense of pride that they belong to this city. However it is a total different experience when you being a Visually impaired travels to the city and find your own community to jingle the musical beats, have laughter with them and make a unique memorable experience to share. Yet it has some similarities with the atmosphere people have in the city,But for some people it is diferent, especially for us being blind but still able to negotiate the troublesome challenges and celebrate the best of time to rise in a glorysome fashion which is unique in all respects. As I had registered for Columbia University in past and had been expecting them to contact me through gmail, It was not a surprise for me first when I got the call that I would have to come and observe the unique Frugal innovation session that will b held on 11th of December 2017 which would be chared by Navi Raju sir. Having good friendship with sir was a great factor to boost in past and it was no dout that I am not going there to settle in New York for university, But just visiting the place for 1 day session there which is an ultimate morale booster for me. By all means, It had been a good time together for four of us who have been travelling together for same purpose of enjoying the theme round session of 'Big Questions, Big innovations' round which is a teme strategy session hosted by Columbia university and by such way I got to know the ultimate fun of the Visually impaired people who live in New York and have lot of fun together indeed. We took the support of the agency who have been supporting us in all respects and took two guides to have fun in the local Zoological park with noises and shouts of animals all around us. Apart from that we visited the local museum and have some historic memories as all four of us have deep interests in history and once having nice breakfast in the agency hotel lounge, We took out some boxing gloves and have punching fun for the better joy of it to see whether we are fit enough to have practical fun together or not. What I liked about New York is that it is a city of smiles and joy for all of those who visit the place and for us also being Visually impaired it offered lot of promises to reveal. We also had a fun of session with a famous Visually impaired singer and performer Jenson Harlinton who performed local western songs and helped us enjoy with his command on guitar as wel which was a great joy to boost our spirits. By all means it is a great experience and realising our place in the New York society boost my spirits also. The evening of 11th is Approaching and we all four have to travel past the city and make our way for the Session which is the main cause to visit this place, But I shall not forget the hospitality people provide here to the visually impaired people and their sense of awareness for the better of it which is the main focal point. There are more joyous time we are expecting in future, But for now I can wrap up this experience thanking all the staff who have been able to support and Gratitude to my paretns for trusting my visits and helping out the goodwill of impact of such visits have created by the sense of it. Be the best of you and let the time tickle by with it's greatness which shall boost your virtual spirits where-ever you go so even being Blind doesn't count, What you have to present count at large...

Warming boom's spectacular impact


When you write a poem collection and want it to gain progress or momentum, it is not an easy work. The toughest of genre to get attention of readers is poetry and hence it requires a sensible discussion wen it comes to perform it's writing. Most of people today use 'erotic' sense or 'romantic' flair to their poetic essence to get popularity but their essence becomes empty fragrence after an expanse of time. However in my concern, I have found it as a natural touch to get through the victorian poetry or the pattern of current affairs being implemented in same and hence I found it nice firstly when Burning Asia gained momentum and got through brilliantly by virtual essence in 2016 indeed. Although I did start my career as a novelist in 2014 by a novel 'Affection Never Dies' but the poetry is something that comes more naturally to me as writer and hence the support of Nick sir and Priya madam made me inflict a better fragrence of oppurtunity never thought perfectly before. What was surprising for me that I managed to make an impact amongst readers by my international poetry work and in such series to make it more complex and widely known I published a book titled 'Warming Boom' on 18th of June 2017 which is an environmental collection and once again it turned out to be a poem collection of around fifty poems all focusing on the environmental sense of touch. The topics concerned globally everybody and hence I thought that will inspire the world to get through the book and enjoy it's touch and hence the concept of internationalisation was in my mind which resulted in high spirits. The book first spread faster than my belief through ranks of the international languages annd soon the people in global parts had been turning attention to the book. I had got brilliant feedbacks from my regional people in concerns to the book in the launching time and hence my hope that Warming Boom should get brilliant response at international market felt like a blessing turned upon by the readers. It is a great feeling to share that Warming Boom has crossed most of worldly consent and it has appeared around 140-145 international stores across most continents and hence it is a great feeling by support of everyone to share that the way it has responded is a unique momentum to get through. poetry is not an easy task to deal and if your book is available in so many languages and such countless stores It surely lits your passion and hence I feel delighted to be the part of my book Warming Boom as a writer. All the same the fact remains that being an environmental poetry collection people should desperately itch to get their hands on to the poetry collection as E book and in future once i get through possible stature in paperback standards for Burning Asia in wider prominence more than the present scope, then I shall think of Warming Boom to be launched as Paperback as well which would surely be a different experience as a new book impact. Yet, What matters most here is that being a visually impaired author, if things can change in such succession It really gives a boost to me who types on computer through support of screen reader known as JAWS. True to the word, If nick sir and Priya madam won't have been backbone of support I won't have been in such a place through my book like Warming boom; But all the same I am thankful to all the readers, family support and everyone who have been indulged in spreading out things through their blog promos and support. Thank you all, keep reading, keep supporting and help me become better.

Government appreciates disability empowerment by academic honour


It was one of surprising moment when i got an email confirming that I have been recognised for an Academic award in my own city known for academic pride and essetics. It was insured that my safety and media cover would be continued as I like it and I was also informed that the function should mark the rise of a surprise for me which did happen indeed. The function did take place near the fields or the 'flats' as we call them on 25th of November, 2017 where distinguished guests from the Ministry of Social justice and empowerment were also present and where few of us were honoured in our categories for prizes/awards in our field for our respective academic affiliation. When I found out that the list also included my name, I was shocked at first to notice it's ultimate finality. Then it had explained about my Tokyo and Auckland wins leading the team to the tournaments as well as the books I published on lulu and scribd. It was really pleasure and gratitude felt moment when I found the seal atached and it ensured that I have to be one of those who would be awarded for academic field in my distinguished Disability quota to which I purely belong being a visually impaired and I was extremely delighted. I shared the news with Papa and as mother had just come back from cousin's wedding it would have less important to inform her which should be done later. But what matters most is that the government did recognise the pride and importance of the disabled people in academic field and that matters most to me here. Although I was also asked to recite one of the poems from my popular book 'Warming Boom' which all my supporters and good friends know has been downloaded in fast schedules and even out of stock in some places. I was ready for the task and read the poem on natural disasters which are available in the poetry collection. What was the most essential factor to know that Nainital has faced a kind of drop out in past few years when it comes to the pride of it's ultimate colour, realms, essetics and power of educationl remark. The city which is known for remarkable people like Jim Corbet, Sam Manik sha, Nasiruddin Shah, Peter Cobert, Hestings Ismai, Amitab Bachchan like legends and their educational backbone has perfected in it's vallour has dropped in it's fame and thence this proceeding of affiliating the rising faces is one of the trend to settle on and I am sure that it will impress the fact that Nainital has grown in it's equal pride being the VIp city of Kumau. I have born in this city with it's environment so powerful and hence it was a great feeling for me to be amongst the persons getting the award for academic works. Here I would like to give a short mentio of the efforts my Papa have put upon to help me grow. My father has a great impact on what I does and what I organise. Despite countless questions of outsiders, appeal and critics of those who are suspicious and countless error on my behalf also My papa never gave up on giving me oppurtunities to express and here the key essential factor comes to the real remark. I am lucky to have a father like him and also a nice and jolly mother who keeps things to calm. My brother is a laughing chubby boy and I am sure he will also perform bigger works in future to ensure our legacy. IN short I express my gratitude to all and it was an excilent feeling to be amongst the name once again. Let's hope we continue to rock as Kirorians always rock...

Feelings.. Not responding officially in Lulu paperback


Official paperback link of Feelings... not responding http://www.lulu.com/shop/shounak-pal-and-saurabh-pant/feelings-not-responding/paperback/product-23414038.html The book titled 'Feelings... not responding' has to be said that it has been a nice co-authored work between me and Shounak sir when we planned it first time during my papyrofix content writing fun an it resulted to be a nice and impressive E book at first with availibility in 35 e portals including 9 Amazon places as well. In same time, it spread as nicely transformed and translated paperback on 6 of global Amazon stores was fantastic as well which was a great compilation to have, But we needed a solid background to fit in which Lulu could only provide and thence we thought to launch it's official paperback at Lulu's website in early november indeed. I did have a quick discussion with my co-author Shounak bro and at first we thought to do the formalities on 4th of November as I did mention that date on my blog when posting a promo blog for the paperback launch; But due to some combination of hard luck, difficult and hard working circumstances as well as some technical challenges we have to skip the same till it's two coming week ends and thence It took a lot of hard combination of luck and planning to do the same as Paperback is not an easy task to acomplish in it's prior stage and thence I went to ask Nick sir for support in creating the paperback available officially in Lulu on 18th of November, 2017 through internet and social media connectivity which proved out to be memorable. Not taking too much time and thanking Nick sir, Shounak sir and Priya madam with along side my parents- I am hereby extremely delighted to inform you that Feelings... Not Responding has been oficially launched in paperback and published on Lulu and let's hope that you all readers would continue to bless us with your reading hunger and delight. Thank you all...
