Aim like Arjuna and live for the welfare of society.” These were the golden words of the Chief Guest MP Jyotiraditya Scindia. He enlightened the people present in the auditorium of IITTM, Gwalior who came together to witness a book release function of ‘Roli, Akshat, Chandana: Abhinandan’, written by Keshav Pandey.
The Chief Guest emphasised on the idea of being focused in one's life and setting up a goal like it enabled Arjuna to become the master of archery. He even advised the capable youth of coming in front and rendering themselves selflessly in the name of nation by placing ‘more and instant’ zeal of theirs as a taboo.
The launching event was headed by senior journalist Abhilash Khandekar. Along with a writer Prof Prakash Dixit, Senior Journalist Suresh Samrat and Sant Krupal Singh as guests of honour, while Rakesh Pathak compered the event.
Abhilash Khandekar shared how he met Keshav in 1982 and since then he has always found him to be public-spirited which as he believes should be in one's character if he wants recognition in his life. Samrat admired the generous, self-sacrificing and charitable nature of Keshav even though he had luxurious options of living in his life.
“Never lose hope and keep moving because you never know what tomorrow may bring,” were the words of Prof Prakash Dixit that inspired the audience to fight back the hurdles popping up in this race of life.
As an epilogue to the function, the book was briefed. It includes the lifespan of Keshav and the experiences of Journalists, writers, politicians and others. The book contains nearly 300 pages.
