What place in the world do you never want to visit? Why?

That smiling street
Of my teenage love
In which I used to spend
My every morning to evening

My bicycle’s wheel
slows down automatically
The heartbeat is pumping
like the waves of the ocean

Those carefree moments
of pleasant thoughts
That street where my
dreams found wings to fly.

I wonder what intoxication
was there in the fragrance
of that elvish street
that made me ecstatic.

That desire to see a glimpse
that impatience
that carelessness
that madness
that refreshing feeling
that whole day’s work.

With the breaking of
those fake promises,
my heart also got broken.
Now it’s goodbye to the
memories of that lonely
Broken heart street.

Describe something you learned in high school.

Biology was no longer my subject after highschool because I have to choose from different streams and I proceed with mathematics and physics. So I read this in highschool.

And the reproduction system was very exciting chapter of biology for me and my friend. I still remember when teacher start teaching this chapter, maximum time we are just laughing. It’s hard for teacher to maintain decorum of class.

Reproduction can be defined as the biological process of producing a new individual or an offspring identical to the parents. This process ensures the increase in the number of individuals of a species when conditions are favourable.

Human reproduction system is one of the fundamental characteristics of living things and an essential life process. Many of us studies this chapter in highschool and have essential information which still works.

What book could you read over and over again?

Shri Ramcharitmanas stands as one of the holiest and most revered of Hindu scriptures in Sanskrit language which was written by Sant Valmiki. It’s Avadhi(regional language) version is called Ramcharitmanas by Sant Tulsidas.

I prefer Ramcharitmanas. This book is all about divine Couple, Sita ji and Ram ji, alongside Shri Ram’s three divine siblings and his devotee Hanuman ji.

Rama, the perfect avatar of the Supreme Protector Vishnu. He representing the epitome of righteousness, compassion, duty, sacrifice, and leadership, making him an enduring symbol of ethical and moral conduct.

The most popular symbol of chivalry and virtue, Rama in the words of Swami Vivekananda – is “the embodiment of truth, the ideal husband, and above all, the ideal king.”

If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

In this book “The Psychology of Money”, Morgan Housel tell the stories of top billionaire’s of world. The struggle, risk, luck and success of their life. I hope that my life journey to be a billionaire should be part of  this book.

In this book he wrote about the financial crises of billionaire’s, he realised to understand it better through the lense of psychology and history not finance.

According to him there is no need to study interest rates, have to study the history of greed, insecurity and optimism. He outlining 20 of the most important flaws, biases, and cause of bad behaviour he seen affect people when dealing with money.

Your personal experience with money make up may be 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world, but may be 80% of how you think the world works. Means everything is not on your hand, your success is depend on situations, luck and risk.

What job would you do for free?

We have to believe in conflict between ecology and economy and give importance to coexistence between the two. The recent environmental Conference of the Parties (COP29) held in Baku, Azerbaijan, in November 2024. But still we struggling to save our environment.

The large scale deforestation, which will further exacerbate the ongoing biodiversity crises, intensify human-wildlife conflict, and threaten numerous critically endangered species.

In India over 13,000 sq km of forest area, more than the total geographical area of Delhi, Sikkim and Goa combined, is under encroachment in 25 States and Union Territories, according to data submitted by the Union Environment Ministry to the National Green Tribunal.

In recent we face one of biggest natural disasters in Myanmar in form of earthquake and there are many more. So if I get a chance to something in large scale I like to do it free of cost something related to environmental issues.

What Olympic sports do you enjoy watching the most?

We, as a nationalist and sports lovers, we are eager to watch our country’s representation it doesn’t matter which sports. We reserve our cheers, claps, support and love for the Olympic medal winners for the country.

The olympics sports events have tremendous energy, daring speed, the elegance, precision of the balance, the strength, fluidity, the showmanship and gravity subversion etc. It’s all the sheer beauty of a sport that seems as artistic as it is athletic.

All athletes make tremendous sacrifices to climb up that ladder and reach the pinnacle, in service of their country, and with a chance to create history.

Olympic spirit inspire us to promote the ideals, values, and vision for acceptance, human rights, and non-discrimination. It connects whole country men with same emotion. Nationalisms is on its peak during olympics.

How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

After implementing a total lockdown where in all government offices, educational institutions, places of worship, private offices, public transport establishment were shut down.

This is very strange experience for me at a personal level, despite all the fear and uncertainty, it was a time when I was forced to slow down, and spend more time at home.

We developed new routines, and I am forever thankful that I was able to form a bond with parents. That time I am preparing for civil services examinations. It’s now compulsory to take online classes, e-books, e-magazines, e-newspaper etc.

It’s a tough time to survive for us in terms of economic crises. Now, the memory of the deaths, economic distress and the mass migration appears like a stranger’s dream for most us. Others have not forgotten the horror of a pandemic that killed lakhs of people in the world.
