Would you please tell us something about you and your site?
Hi! My name is Pulkit Tiwari! I am a 20 year old Engineering student and writing and listening to music are my primary hobbies along with many other!
POETIC CRIES OF INTERPERSONAL EXPRESSIONS is the name of my personal blog! I write on various topics covering labels like “music and lyrics” to “motivational articles”!! this blog Is my voice! An expression within me! feeling of mine are discharged, not to dispose but to share intimately with each one of you…
this is not just my blog, its a page of and for everyone who belives in one and only one god, its for all those who lives to listen to eternal music, its for everyone who loves to love, for everyone who is believes in exploring the creative part of his soul, who believes in analyzing the beauty of nature, who belives in saying what he or she feels and feeling what he or she says, its for the lovers of life in the season of darkness, its for the optimists in the valley of pessimism, its for people who live with LIFE before they die….
Do you feel that you continue to grow in your writing the longer you write? Why is that important to you?
Change is the Inevitable law of nature! It comes even if You dont desire for it! The same goes on for writing! What I write on my blog is driven by my instincts and personal thought process and not driven by the thought of what people likes to read! Sometimes I feel like writing a poem or attempting anything that I am not known for and I do that without much of a hesitation! That’s what brings the growth and the more it comes, the better it is for me! Helps me understand my strengths and weaknesses In writing!
I’m wondering what some of your memorable experiences are with blogging?
Its been almost a year since I started writing on net! And its been a journey full of highs and lows! Even though each word of appreciation by each one of my readers means a lot to me yet I would like to share one personal memorable experience with a person called Priyanka Nagpal whom I got In touch while I was doing freelancing writing for some other web page! She read my work and appreciated it! Her words of appreciation have stayed the test of time! She still refers me as a “brother” and reads my blog regularly! In fact likes it every time whatever I write! Its a great feeling to be loved for the expression of your thought! Thats what I know now!
What do you do in order to keep up your communication with other bloggers?
Most of the fellow bloggers who Like my work and whose work I admire reading gets in touch with me through some medium or the other! I am on a social blog as well as on various networking sites too! All of whose links and various other ways to contact me are mentioned on my blog! I am friendly and tend to get new friends added to the long never ending list of friends every now and then!
What do you think is the most exciting or most innovative use of technology in politics right now?
Use of technology in politics have increased immensely In the last few years! People stay connected to worldwide issues and forms opinions through what they see on various websites on net! Some of the images and reports present are an eye opener for many! Every opinion and word moved from here to there leaves a political impact at the end of the way! “Ideologies are built , shared and transferred within seconds with the help of media and tech! Thats amazing!
Do you think that these new technologies are effective in making people more responsive?
I guess yes! They do form an opinion and feels that they are known about things! Which builds their viewpoint , that effects their choices and eventually makes them responsible for what they do!
What do you think sets Your site apart from others?
My site is my own reflection! Its what I feel and how I express it! The probability of someone else feeling the same is a lot but to express it in a way that he or she fails to do is what I strive for! That expression makes it apart! I believe that one should never lose his uniqueness as that is everything one has! As long as I abide by this! My site will always stand apart!
If you could choose one characteristic you have that brought you success in life, what would it be?
I dont think I still have achievements that can categorize me as successful but yes! If I has to choose one thing within me that helps me carry on, I guess it would be the ability of making a come back! I do fall just as everyone do or does at some point, perhaps a little more then that, yet I am here in front of you Speaking my heart out! I believe that my god and the devil that I know are both within me, they both are important to me! I try to make them know each other as much as possible! And thats an aspiration of self discovery which I had always carried on!
What was the happiest and gloomiest moment of your life?
oh god! I am 20, Is my life over? (laughs!)
happiest well , every moment spent at home forms a cluster of those! I love my family and they love me back! Nothing in life can be more satisfying and whats satisfying is what brings happiness!
Gloomiest??? I have a lot more to tell, but forgetting or rather keeping them out of my speech is what my choice of life is !! well… not being able to pursue higher education in English was a sad choice that I made! That was gloomy! It still is!
If you could pick a travel destination, anywhere in the world, with no worries about how it’s paid for - what would your top 3 choices be?
I would like to visit Italy! I want to go there ever since I read the Book “angels and demons” By Dan Brown, The architecture there excites me!
Switzerland and Australia would be the other two!
What is your favorite book and why?
I like a lot many books to name one! First one that comes to mind right now is “Shantaram” By Gregory David Roberts! It was written in a sheer brilliance! Loved it! The writing style and revealations of someone like the author which Has seen a lot in life made it all the more interesting!
What’s the first thing you notice about a person (whether you know them or not)?
My friends say that I am observant! I notice a lot! From the way a person speaks to the content thats being spoken and the way with which it is being spoken! I try to peep into the eyes of the person in front of me and while he or she speaks something, I try to judge the honestly of the heart from the passage of eyes!
Is there anyone from your past that once told you you couldn’t write?
There had been many! I sit here in front of you and hopes that their doubts are not present anymore!
How bloggers can benefit from blogs financially?
Bloggers can earn a lot! If they write on beneficial topics! The widgets on blogs like adsense places related advertisements, whose clicks gets money for bloggers! Its a great medium once you are having a readership!! but immense patience is required in the initial phase! Some bloggers also earn by donation from people who likes what they blog about!
Is it true that who has a successful blog has an awful lot of time on their hands?
yeah! When you are learning to do blogging it takes a lot of time! But after a little time spent here, you gradually become known to things around! And once the blogs starts hitting clicks and gets feedback then it depends on how you manage these! Some people stay active and give time and some dont! Those who give dedication and time are prone to get success more as it is the case with every other field!
What role can bloggers of the world play to make this world more friendlier and less hostile?
blogs are fabulous mediums to say what you feel clearly and personally! Various confusions about a person gets sorted when you read his or her blog if its written honestly! This can remove lot of hatred thats spread by some rubbish media coverage and hate based political stands between people globally! Blogs can help to wipe out differences between caste,colour,religion etc!
Who are your top five favourite bloggers?
there are too many to name! I in fact honor them with my personal blog awards that I started recently! Would not name anyone as such! Most of the people that are members of a social blog that I joined called “THE WRITER’S LOUGE” are very good too!
Is there one observation or column or post that has gotten the most powerful reaction from people?
I wrote a poem called “The princess Love story”, the response to that was amazing! I got great reviews and many positive comments of appreciation! I use to write letters to All India Radio, many listeners and radio jockeys became my friends from there and they still have great memories and strong recollection of the words that I use to write in my letters!!
What is your perception about Pakistan and its people?
The country is fascinating! The people are friendly as for what I came across! I have some friends from there, made from the social networking sites and they reveal a total different stand of the state as is being conveyed by the media! They are all very good human beings! The state has its own political problems and I believe that the ups and downs of Democracy is the cause of most of them! In the tough times I pray for the people there specially girls and children as they suffer the most because of social cultural upheavals!
Have you ever become stunned by the uniqueness of any blogger?
every blogger whose blog I have tagged myself up with is unique in one way or the other! There have been too many to name one…
What is the most striking difference between a developed country and a developing country?
I would answer that In personal perspective rather than stating big economical and social differences! A young man born in a developed country is not having worries of insecurity regarding his future! He tries to pursue a career in whatever he likes and later on even if he fails in his personal quest of career, the country’s developed state helps him to get back to life! He is born and brought up with this faith!
As a young man in developing country one has to face immense competition to suceed and have to surpass a long queue of people waiting for the same opportunity! You have to think thousand times before pursuing different career then main stream! There is hardly a room to get back once you fail, Its all a struggle to fight for basics for many!!
What is the future of blogging?
blogging is here to stay! The need to express is natural for humans and as more and more people will discover the satisfying pleasure of writing something at your own blog so easily, then it would grow even more and more! Its not a temporary phase! It would just rise exponentially in its popularity!
You have also got a blogging life, how has it directly affected both your personal and professional life?
it consumes my time, but thats only one aspect! Actually it helps me a lot! I feel relaxed and satisfied with what my presence had been through my blogs! It enhances the need to improve and has filled my life with new dreams and aspirations! And some very good friends too !! I love every bit of it!
What are your future plans?
I can have another whole conversation in discussing them (laughs!) for the time being, I am preparing hard to pursue post graduation in business administration and perhaps work on the script of a novel! I want to work for myself in long term of life! I want to lead from the front and be a stamp rather then being just another envelope! Hope you got my point! As far as blogging goes, it would get more and more into me as I will grow! I know this!! so I would get more and more into it too!!
Any Message you want to give to the readers of The Pakistani Spectator?
Life’s not about winning and losing! Its about winning in the end, its about winning after losing, its about winning after losing, losing, losing and losing! Believe in your own self in tough times before you wait for others to believe in you! life is too short to spend time in grief for the opportunities that you miss, This is a bigger game than what you think it to be. Life is to expect less and give more, Life is to smile when every other individual around you would have shed tears in the same place, Life is to love and to love yourself, Life is to be patient towards yourself, Life is to accept defeat but not accept oneself as a loser.Let not yourself be a chaser of brands,trends and names in life , be a brand, be a trend, be a name.
