JAMMU, Oct 18: “Beyond Three Words’’ an English fiction written by young and budding writer Abhimanyu Jamwal hits stands today.
The book was released at an impressive function held at Jammu Club here this evening by Chief Vigilance Commissioner, Kuldeep Khoda who was the chief guest on the occasion while Vice Chancellor, Jammu University, Prof Mohan Paul Singh Ishar was the guest of honour. The function was chaired by Padamshree Balwant Thakur, Regional Director ICCR.
While speaking on the occasion Mr Khoda said it was a real pleasure for him to see Mr Abhimanyu on dais with his first launch. He said the book has been written by him in a communicative way, easy to read, follow through and visualize.
Mr Khoda said the characters in the book are strong in nature and the concept of main lady character in the fiction is such that she is able to visualize that entire action is going in front of her life. The book has been written in a common communicative language which youngsters use today, he added.
Mr Khoda said the book will be very well received by every one especially the youngsters. The author has not followed the conviction of a fiction but gone beyond that and given comments generally in a positive manner, he added.
He expressed the hope that the book will do very well and added that it is not the book but the name which sells in the market. He also showed optimism that in future people will get more good books to read from this young author.
Prof Ishar in his speech said the young man has made a very good beginning. The language of the book is simple, lucid and quite absorbing, he added.
Balwant Thakur while terming Abhimanyu as the hero of the evening congratulated his parents for encouraging their son. This encouragement otherwise is missing here, he added.
He said in comparison to this in Western countries the children of eight and ten years of age publish books. Maintaining that it is not easy to write a book, Mr Thakur said it is very difficult to visualize even a small scene.
He said though readers create writers but unfortunately in our State especially Jammu there is no habit of reading the books. While appreciating Abhimanu he expressed the hope that this kind of initiative may make us a change. Stressing on making a habit of reading books, he said India has given best authors who were acknowledged all over world.
