He also shared an anecdote about Dr. Abdul Kalam. While reading two important chapters from “Wings of Fire”, Namrata Choudhury, a BA English student at BESC, spoke about what it takes to become an inspiring personality like Dr. Abdul Kalam. B.Com undergraduate Fazal Mohammad spoke about Ella, the protagonist of “Forty Rules of Love” and how a book changes her perspective of life and she discovers love. Discussing Dr. Kusum Khemani’s novel, Dr. Alpana Singh, a literary scholar from Bharatiya Bhasha Parishad, said that “Lavanaya Devi” portrays the saga of five generations of a family and the struggles of the novel’s protagonist who, despite facing hardships, strives for public welfare.
