Jammu: ‘Paan Aur Palash’, a book authored by Himanshu Dubey, a Hindi journalism student at the Indian Institute of Mass Communication (IIMC), Jammu, was launched at the institute. The event was attended by Regional Director Dilip Kumar, Professor Anil Saumitra, journalist and translator Vineet Utpal, and IIS officer Neha Jalali, along with faculty members and students. The programme featured discussions on literature, writing, and youth creativity.
The book explores life experiences, human emotions, relationships, struggles, and realities through the symbolism of paan and palash. Its central theme revolves around understanding two contrasting aspects of life. Paan represents tenderness, love, affection, and emotional sensitivity, while palash symbolises struggle, resilience, difficult circumstances, and the determination to keep moving forward in life.
Through his experiences and reflections, the author attempts to convey that life does not always remain the same. While certain circumstances offer affection and a sense of belonging, hardships often teach individuals to stand firm and face challenges with courage.
