Good evening, all. Today I would be reciting another poem from my debut book, Pastures of Wildest. The poem is titled The Guardians and is dedicated to the mountain ranges of my hometown, which are my primary inspiration behind all my creation. S so here it goes. The Guardians I often wondered in my childhood that what existed on the other side of the castle of mountain ranges they were my guardians, whose image a child retains in his or her eyes

And the mountains considering snow as their children, I mean, that was such a beautiful thought. I mean, how did you imagine that? And how did you come up with that? It's so editorial and it's so heavenly, actually. So thank you. Thank you for introducing us to your debut book in such a wonderful way. And I would really like to read it and be a part of your author journey. So thank you and congratulations and all the best. With this book
Hi, Gunjan. Your swell was really awesome. And when I was listening to Your Swell, I was recollecting the memories of my childhood where I used to watch a cartoon called Heidi. So Heidi is basically a girl from the mountain ranges. And the way she enjoys with those mountains and all and whatever questions that you have asked in the swell, the same kind of questions she'll keep asking all the time what is the other side of the mountain? How it's protected?

Hello, Gunjan. Very good morning, and thank you so much for inviting me to your Spellcast. Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely poetry. No matter what you write about the Himalayan ranges, about the mountains, about their mysticism, about all the secrets they hide within themselves, it's always less. And and I can relate to that experience that while living in the mountain region, you feel that vibe. You always make that connection with those mountains. It's an inseparable connection

And I would also like to bring a quote of Gagan Gill, who is Nirmalji's wife. She has written in a book I couldn't recall the name of it she has written in a book a quote which says that yejo Himalay hana ye apkupatuna kartah agarapiske fermi igbar paragay to up marnabi. I couldn't recall the quote correctly, but I just had a vague memory of its lines. So that's how the powerful its impact is

Hi, Gunjan. Good evening. Thank you so much for the invite. And first of all, a very warm heartiest and a thunderous congratulations to you on your debut book. The first book. The debut book is always amazing. When you get that book in your hands, when you see those words imprinted on that paper, that your thought process, your memories, your wisdom, your vulnerability, your dreams, aspirations, inked on a piece of paper and then binded and published

He is a very what do you say, a senior kind of person, and he knows how to bring out the best idea of the author in the form of pictures and illustrations. Traditionally, when you get the COVID page design from the graphic designers of publishing houses, they do not know much about the idea of the author because they're very young and they really do not read the book or read the text. I do not think this is the ideal way to design the COVID page
