L.A.Kulikova warmly congratulated Mr. Nilesh Neel with the Well-deserved award and handed the Order of the "National Glory" to the high Indian guest. Russian orientalists and lovers of ancient Indian literature consider Nilesh Neel's recently published book of poetry "Life" (in the traditional form of Ghazal) a remarkable event in the cultural life of modern India. There is no doubt that these Ghazals, written with an understanding of ancient eastern wisdom and of modern sensuality, in case they may be translated into Russian, will become an important factor of mutual enrichment of all those who take interest in modern poetry of the East and Asia. The formation (construction) of a united Eurasian cultural space is breeding a stronger interest in the people of Europe and Asia to the cultures of each other. Was Rudyard Kipling, an English writer of the 19th century, right to state that "the West is the West, the East is the East, and they can never come together"? He was wrong after all. Nilesh Neel is a poet writer speaker and Entrepreneur. The young poet in his emotionally spoken speech answered that this award for him was not only a symbol of the recognition/esteem of his poetry, but also a hope for the creation of new Eurasian cultural bridges. "I cannot compare with anything the (unique) feeling I am experiencing now. I will tell about these minutes to my wife, daughter "Nayza" and parents". At 37, the poet has published already three books in his own country in Hindi and Urdu. Speaking at the award ceremony, Nilesh Neel read one of them: "This is world, in it people are given not everything; let us live not half-heartedly and laughing from the heart". At the award ceremony, the Moscow Indian Embassy officials were present. Nilesh Neel is a litterateur belonging to the school of a famous Indian poet Bashir Badr, who wrote the foreword/preface for the poet's first book "Chubhan" In that preface, he called Nilesh Neel "a new voice of real poetry".
