We are proud ... Adesh Srivastava, student of School of Media and Communications Studies seems to be a rising storyteller. He has authored a book ‘Ghalib’ : The Rise of a Poet’. At this young age, Adesh’s achievement seems to be commendable. Way to go! The book is being published by Rigi Publications. The story of the book revolves around a boy called ‘Ghalib’. Unlike his name 'Ghalib', was totally disinterested in poets and poems but went on to become a writer. What inspired him to become a poet? Was it love? No, Ghalib was blessed with much more than that...The book is a compelling story of this young boy, beautifully written—a must read.
