Joyous to have been part of releasing 'Khirman', a 5 volume set of poetry by my great-grandfather Muztar Khairabadi.
The book release was historic as never before have the collective works of a poet been published 90 years after his passing. This is the first of its kind.
It has taken my father over a decade to compile the works from various personal sources and libraries. Yesterday was the completion of the mammoth task and his dream to get it published. Congratulations.
Gratitude to all guests in attendance at the 'Khirman' book launch and in particular to our Respected Vice President. Shri Hamid Ansari.
