From a long time I was thinking how the interview session
works. Not for the job part because I have also give them but the Tv, radio or
say print media interview. I was thinking what I can do about it. I decide to
take it on, and get interview of few people who are rare to find but they have
been quite influential in my life. “The last few good people”…
In first part I decided to take interview of one of my
friend Deepak “Rousa”. He is man of many mood, sometime poet and sometime the
reader, writer and even working also on his own job. But there are few things
that only he knows about himself. So I decided to take the interview of him
first to know about him more and let other also know. Initially he was little
bit skeptical about interview but he got over his fear and ready to give me
interview. It was such a beautiful to have a work with him over a Coffey and
uncover lots of things about him.

Me: hello, Deepak bhai. So finally you are ready to give a
full fledged interview to me.
Deepak: Saifi bhai, it is always a pleasure to give you
interview. I think you will never writer what I will tell you but you will
always end up writing what you want to. Don’t get it wrong but that is issue
with all the blogger.
Me: I will try to stay true to this one as much as possible.
I took out a pen, paper and start writing few questions
before stating. I knew once it is started, it will be difficult to stop and in
the flow I will forget lots of things.
Me: So Deepak, let us know something about you early life in
school, what type of student you were in the school?
Deepak: I thought you will be asking about my family first.
Ok getting back to you question, my schooling was done from my school in the
village. It was not so tech. savvy or say modern school but yet the education I
received there was very important. Daily I used to go on stage and sing the
Morning Prayer song, other child used to dance and some used to make the sounds
also to disturb. It was strange but it was interesting. I used to study daily
three hours in the home when I was in school. Personally I loved the stage from
early age of my life. I am cleaver boy with simplicity in me. When I used to go
to school my father used to look after my hair that it is in order or not. Till
date I never abused anyone in my life till date with foul language because it
is never taught me. The best part was I topped each class from 1 to 12 in
school. I was not good in math’s and history but still I managed to top. Might
be that was the reason why boys were not my good friends due to my marks but
girls used to care for me as a friend. From them I learned how to more caring
towards your friend. They are the best source of learning that has been my
experience.
Me: It seemed you enjoyed your life in the school, how your
family helped in life at that time. They were supportive what you do?
Deepak: Firstly I lived in the joint family so it was not
the small family. I was always loved by family and best part I know I am the
soul of my family. But saying so they have given everything that they have to
me. They never rejected any of my demand from childhood in any condition either
good or bad.
Today I would like to confess one thing that without the
love of my family I would have been nothing. I hope I could do something for
them.
Me: You father is farmer but then also he does not want you
be farmer, why is that so. I am asking this because my father also felt the
same way. Can you pin point what is wrong with being farmer in India or just
this generation is seeing end of farming.
Deepak: It is tough question answer saifi Bhai. Well first
thing Come in my mind after your question was “Jai Jawan and Jai Kisan”, these
days both the profession are not any more attractive to our generation. People
become Jawan by mistake and Kisan by accident but sayint that realize these
both jobs are really tough. If I talk in a broader sense look everyone knows
there are not good policies of government related to the agriculture. Even if
they would have some policy that will also benefit the middle man in these
field.
See the point is they are still following the English time
rule in the agriculture field. Take a example of Land acquisition, it is still
from the English laws and also it benefit hugely the govt. in term of revenue. They
don’t want to change it and try to buy the land from farmers forcefully. Why is
the question if you think, then there is economics involved. They purchase land
from farmers in small price and sell to developers in large profit. Look if you
purchase land in 10rs and sell it to 1000rs then there will be some issues. The
only truth in this county is by being farmer you can only live on two time
food. that’s it.
Saifi do you ever heard any leader son was killed or any
leader was killed in any fight? Answer will be no. In India at basic level
there is no democracy only a mask of democracy. Autocracy is always in power
and authority. I saw these drams on the grassroot level. I think in the end us
and only we can find the answer for the problem of farmer. Nor the govt. and
nor the leader.
It was turning out to fascinating discussion and interview
with Deepak “Rousa”. In next part he will tell about his college life, his struggler,
belief, life and other things like poem…
