Personal Thought: Love for Mother Nature
Glian - the son of nature, a book written by debutante author Shubham Basu explores the intangible bond humans have with the Mother Nature and pleads for focus on nature and implores humankind to reevaluate its destructive nature.
Speaking about the book and his passion of being close to nature, `Shubham Basu' said, "I always had a penchant for the wild and wilderness. Through this book, I feel that I can carry my voice, the effort to reach people further in my mission to spread awareness and love for Mother Nature. I feel the more time you spend with nature, the more you understand and appreciate nature's splendor and brilliance."
Commenting on the book, JK Bose said,
`Glian - the son of nature is an intense jostle of Shubham's ideas.
Shubham manages to navigate the narrow path that fuses interesting incidents with an engaging narrative making it a must-read for anyone".
The occasion served as a forum for presenting views on current threats to nature and wildlife in India. An interactive session was held after the discussion so as to enable a clear understanding of issues related to environment and wildlife.
Born in 1978 and educated in Lucknow, IT-BHU and Vanderbilt University, USA, Shubham has worked at the Wall Street, NYC, before he decided to move back to India. A travel enthusiast and avid wildlife lover, he is also a sports aficionado and enjoys sports whether he is traveling or working. He appreciates outdoor sports for the thrill he can ride on, and his close encounters with nature.
His first flavour of solo travelling began when he ran away from his home, in his eighth grade. He is very fond of wildlife and can be occasionally seen perched at the watch out towers. His earliest inspirations have been Ruskin Bond, Jim Corbett, Rudyard Kipling and Charles Dickens.
A keen writer, he has published a couple of individual short stories, with ethnic magazines in USA and is an online columnist. This is his first attempt to write fiction as a novel.
Shubham Basu can be spotted riding his bicycle in Gurgaon or just walking around in the Himalayas.
