Literature today until 2024: Today is the second day of ‘Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024’, a grand gathering of tunes and alphabets to be held in the country’s capital Delhi from November 22. Prominent writers, writers and artists from the country participate in this three-day program. In the session ‘There is writing beyond short stories and stories’ on the stage of ‘Sahitya Aaj Tak 2024’, the greatest Mahakumbh of literature, writers expressed their views and talked about the diversity and depth of writing .
Writers Anulata Raj Nair, Shikha Varshney, Divya Vijay and Sanjay Shepherd participated in this session. These writers told through their experiences and creations that writing is not limited to mere stories, but is a means to express feelings, thoughts and depths of life. They talked about understanding writing from new perspectives and dimensions.
Author Sanjay Pastor He said we have written two books. When we write books, and if ten thousand books are sold, we assume that many books have been sold, while on social networks an article sometimes reaches a million views. Art also plays an important role in the change of our generation. I come from Purvanchal. There is a world of difference between men and women, but writing makes you sensitive.
I spend 10 months traveling. It took me six years to complete the Himalayan project. One of my projects lasts between three and four years. The traveler’s journey is very different. Traveling only makes sense when you create value. I also work with the tourism departments of Uttarakhand, Himachal and Bihar. Here in such a large country there is not a single writing school, not a single traveling school. You can also earn a lot from writing and traveling. There are many travel meetings. Many people come here. They come to receive travelers and also give them money.
Sanjay said people are also interested in writing. Regarding the Himalayas, Sanjay said that when the cold comes, the world of trackers opens up. You will find many monks in Tapovan in the Himalayas. Between five and seven feet of snow remains there. There in the Himalayas it is very cold in a place called Kedarkantha. There the pupils of the animals’ eyes melt and are destroyed. For this reason, the government has taken measures to provide shows for the animals there. There you will see animals with glasses.

Sanjay said that there is the Parvati valley in the Himalayas, 45 travelers have disappeared from there. I went there too. After we got there we got lost. There was no snow there. There were forests, ditches, roads. After wandering around for four hours, I met a person who dropped me off at the main track path. Then I arrived at the camp. There was a traveler with me there. That person seemed young to him and he seemed old to me. We also had a lot of debate on this issue. I have been flown out of the Himalayas three times in the last six years. I go to mysterious places.
Writer Anulata Raj Nair He said people want to learn for themselves. I started reading while I wrote. Write blogs too. This trend was furthered by associating with Nilesh Mishra. Today I am also teaching writing. People complain that there is no money in Hindi, but we start Hindi master class with a lot of money. This class used to be held in a company. Many students there used to ask if you would teach in Hindi, so I used to teach in Hindi. Young people want to write, but they should get a platform. I am a storyteller, Nilesh also narrates the stories written by me. I began my writing career with poetry. I also teach new writers. Anulata also recited a poem… Sadness is like an everyday story, sadness blooms like a hawk.
Shikha Varshney He said that when there is a platform available, it is very convenient for the writer. I never sent my creations for fear of them being returned. Everything I wrote, I wrote on the blog. Thanks to him I carried out my writing. I myself was surprised at how far the blogs written by me went. Those who have always read in English also read the books written by me. I would say that if someone wants to write. If your writing reaches even one person and touches the heart, then you are successful. During this, Shikha recited a poem from his European travel diary. There are two types of trips, one is traveler and the other is tourism. During this, Shikha recited a poem written during his trip to Greece. In which the story of a family that came to Greece from Albania and started working was told.
Divya Vijay He said my writing started from the complaints recorded in the diary. When they scolded him, when they hit him, when they forbade him to play. There is always movement in the womb of the earth, but it is only realized when a volcano erupts. I still have some diaries from my childhood. When I started writing formally, all of this happened from the story. There was no shortage of books at home, I read a lot of books. After reading, I felt like creating something like that. Every writer is above all a reader. While I was writing, I wanted to do theater. After this came many changes. While playing the characters, emotions began to be expressed in different ways. Divya also recited one of her poems, which was very much liked.
