Introduction of Saunak Bhatta

Questions-Answers with Saunak

1. Who is Saunak Bhatta?

ummm…Its the hardest thing to answer.hmm, who am I ? what I say now is not my conclusion because this is the most puzzling question, (sighs) Who am I? It is a journey of discovering the answer. I like to tell myself as explorer coz I really love exploring things, exploring people, myself. All I want to do is the thing that is actually undone. Rather than who am I, What I really believe is, there are three things in our lives which are really important: Growth, Contribution and significance. I want to grow till I die, I want to contribute till I die and I want to be significant in this world.

2. How did it all get started?

One person whom am always grateful to is Mukesh Dangi. He has been like a god father to me. Because of him, I came to this sector. I started to get involved in so many organizations and explore my potentials. I was able to know people of my taste, who had similar spirit and the same fun-working personalities who would support my crazy ideas. I wanted to have my own Microsoft. And We Inspire Nepal is my Microsoft.

The thoughts that pushed me to start all this would be:

I wanted to contribute in every sectors. For that, I thought of creating leaders who can contribute in every sectors.

Another is when internally things are strong then externally things become so amazing. One issue that world has not touched yet is psychology, making our internal world capable. One attitude we have is, touch the area which is untouched because we want to be unique and significant in the world.

The third reason is necessity. We need to make people strong from within. Making people strong, giving then strategies to make them strong so that they can live their dreams and suicides, depression rate could be reduced. 🙂

3. How do you maintain the positive attitude in you?

I am not the person with too much positive thinking. There are three thinking types, one is positive, another is negative and other is optimistic. I am optimistic thinker. Sometimes I am so furious and negative. For example: I am negative about education system. But I am optimistic that it can be changed. Positive thinking is actually exaggerated in this world. They say keep smiling blah blah. I don’t smile much. I don’t want to fake to the world. I don’t always laugh. I advocate optimism not positive thinking. I get angry furious but I want to convert that energy into optimism.
And how I do that? Well, there comes a chapter of self motivation. I use several techniques for self motivation.

1. My dreams

Whenever I am really down, I look towards my dreams and they really inspire me. Then, I feel that I need to achieve all those dreams.

2. Programming subconscious mind through ‘baalai vayena’ (Give Damn)

Saying ‘baalai vayena’ so many times that it becomes your reality. Many people in We Inspire Nepal use it too. If it is used in right way it will be really helpful in many circumstances of life.

3. Nurturing mind

It is more about nurturing your mind. When we continuously narrate something positive like ‘I am the champion’, this will nurture our subconscious mind. I don’t read newspaper, watch TV, watch world cup and people find it bull shit sometime. But, this is how I maintain my optimistic mindset. Also, I am nurturing my mind by watching motivational videos every day, I read books that interest me, read new motivating quotes, write complimentary letters to my old friends, while walking alone I talk aloud with myself, I write my dreams, goals in the paper and stick it in my room. More than one time event, this is all about how you have programmed your mind in an optimistic way.

4. Create such kind of belief/thinking that could be helpful in your life

They say world is selfish, so you have to be selfish too. What belief I create is “More enemies you have, more amazing you are”. So if I get any enemy then I automatically become happy. Another strategy we use in We Inspire Nepal is when there is a big problem , we say “there is a good news”.
Therefore, it is more about programming your mind in such kind of layers. That’s what I do.

4. How generation gap is one of the major challenges for youth?

Definitely. Generation gap exist a lot. They say “aago tapnu mudako, kura sunnu budako”(Listen to Old people). It is very hard to convince old people. What i think is firstly, we have to try to convince them. If they don’t get convinced then we need to keep moving forward and prove them eventually. If We could prove them that we youth are actually able to make greater impacts then their thought could change slowly.

5. Where do you see yourself in ten years from now?

This year, I want to do lots of thing. We have lots of amazing plans for whole one year. After that, I want to go for hibernation. I want to learn more, articulate theories, widen my horizon, probably in the form of Master degree. After two years, I will come back again. I would like to be in International Motivational sector and represent Nepal. Imagine, a guy from developing nation will be giving a motivational speeches to the people of developed nation. I will write books and share my philosophies to the world. I keep asking myself the meaning of existence and life and when I will get the answer, I want to contribute in the sector of education sharing my knowledge and insights.
I would like to live like an example. You cant change everything in this life but I want people after me to make them believe that change is possible. I also believe in next birth. I see myself as a learned motivational man contributing mostly in the sector of education, advocating in larger mass and innovating motivational products for the world in the next ten years. (hopeful smiles 🙂 )
