Vivek loves to be creatively engaged

Vivek has written seven books, scripts for 26 documentaries, lyrics of four audio albums and a collection of 11 short stories published in various newspapers and magazines.

Vivek Mishra earns his bread by working as a dental research scientist in the Health department of Delhi. To satisfy his inner urge for more he engages in literary activity. Straddling both the worlds completes him as a person.
"I started writing at an early age as a hobby but it got momentum after the publishing of Jeevan Pravah, a book on good and healthy living through various forms of meditation, says Vivek. His journey to the literary world had begun and he did PG Diploma in Journalism from Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan. Through the different phases of his literary journey his commitment to the medical profession remains intact.
"He rarely has time to sit and write because of the busy schedule of the Health Department though he is used to writing late at night," says Vipula, Vivek's wife who is also a medical professional.
With this tremendous determination and dedication, Vivek has scored remarkably in the field of creativity. "He has a passion to create something different with a message to society and I saw his determination at the time of my TV chat show for Doordarshan," says Ajay Shukla, Vivek's friend and producer of that TV programme. Vivek elaborates, "It was a TV show based on the problems of the elderly and the downtrodden. The unique feature of the programme was on the-spot solution of the problems."
Recently, Vivek participated in a promotional workshop of the cultural heritage of Bundelkhand.
So far as literary credits are concerned, Vivek has written seven books, scripts for 26 documentaries, lyrics of four audio albums and a collection of 11 short stories published in various newspapers and magazines. Recently, he has made a documentary on Garh Ganga at Garh Mukteshwar, focusing on pollution of Ganga water and Global Warming. The documentary was widely appreciated and telecast by the UP and Delhi governments.
Vivek came under media spotlight in 2007 after his novel experiment Bol Uthe Hain Chitra, a collection of poetry on the paintings of forty renowned painters of the country. On this exceptional achievement by a young poet, ex-chairman of the Lalit Kala Academy and well known painter Anand Dev says, "He dares to give voice to the silent and vague portraits of great people and this is the beginning of a new era in the field of Art." The simplification of paintings in the form of poetry enhances the popularity of this art form as well as the artistic people at large and Vivek will be the pioneer of this format, says V S Rahi, noted painter and treasurer of the All India Fine Arts and Crafts Society, Delhi.
Lots of awards and recognition have come the way of this versatile personality but Udbhav Sahitya Samman by Delhi Hindi Academy and Alaknanda Yuva Sahitya Martand Puraskar are special enough to be mentioned.
