Featured Interview With Shreesham Pandey
Tell us a little about yourself. Where were you raised? Where do you live now?
I, Shreesham Pandey, [he/him], am an Indian teenager writer and poet, with varied transcendence and learning in all that I finds creative, wild, optimistic, and enlightening.
His works focus extensively on wide array of subjects of arts, literature, philosophy, spirituality and sciences, and, they have been published and featured in various leading publications, journals, magazines/zines, weekly portals, and literary/poetry collectives and communities.
Through his works, Shreesham anticipates to bring about a positive impact on society and on the lives of people. His aim is to convey the message in an all-round way that is equally humorous, jubilant, sometimes-sad, nature oriented, political, ethereal, ethical and satirical.
Shreesham is also a scientific researcher and computer-science and engineering & technology enthusiast who has interests in physics and competitive programming. I learn and study various topics and genre ranging from theoretical physics to archaic-poetry, from computer science and technology to architectural aesthetics.
When I am bored, I read, write, surf the internet and libraries, listen to stories and laugh at jokes, do photography, learn something absurd and completely new and travel out with my friends and family.
Apart from that, I try to win arguments and indulge in positive discussions with strangers over the internet and in streets of our locality and spend countless hours expanding and diving deep in the all-round expanse of knowledge and learning.
I was born in the town of Zira in the state of Punjab, India. This is the place that has sweet and unforgettable memories in the corners in the mind.
I am currently living in the Bela Pratapgarh city of the state Uttar Pradesh, India. It has been a decade since I’ve been living here and most of my liberation and transformation as a person and artist have been achieved here.
I have a pet dog that is always playful and I forget all my stress and worries when he is around me. His “woof-woof” is a sign that an unexpected round of sprints and sports is about to begin!
At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
There is no particular point of time, rather, it has been my whole childhood since when I began inking down my thoughts and feelings onto the papers. My first poem was about the tree in my yard and the starting stories dealt with the happenings of my surroundings and neighborhood.
Reading books was much of a habit and this process continued in my school and at home, reading and writing whatever I liked. Ruskin Bond, Tagore, Mr and Mrs Shelley and others were the starting authors that motivated me to write professionally and meritoriously.
Since then It has been a great journey and I want to explore and evolve round the passing of each second.
Who are your favorite authors to read? What is your favorite genre to read. Who Inspires you in your writings?
The greatest of virtues lie in the humblest of souls and I consider each soul to be humble in its purest form and existence. Each writer moves a cell in my heart and their writings pump in me an unforeseen wave of joy and comprehension.
But, there are some whose works provide me constant support and home to reside and grow as an artist and writer. These are – Tagore, R K Narayan, Bachchan, Walt Whitman, Charles Bukowski, Arundhati Roy, Sudha Murthy, Shakespeare, Isaac Isomov, Emily Dickinson, Jack Kerouac, Gibran, Lord Byron, Sylvia Plath, Mr and Mrs Shelley, Maya Angelou and many others.
Apart from these, a soul walking down the streets, a man sitting on the bench in the park, children playing, birds chirping, waves roaring, soil drenching – each moment and each thing inspires me to write.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
There has been quite a great reception about a reception about my latest book that is ‘Best Books’ best Opening Lines’. It is an anthology of best starting lines of novels and books that I’ve read and this presented me a chance to put forward the books that I’ve masterfully read and liked. Readers across the globe appreciated the amount of recommended books are in the edited anthology as they are able to look into the full context into the book by reading some lines to start.
The book to it was, The I In her, a bestseller poetry collection that is critically acclaimed worldwide amongst the readers and publications.
