THE LEGACY OF LIGHT

Description

About The Book

“All praise is to Allah who endowed me the ability to turn up this modest dream of penning down awe-inspiring memories of my teachers. I thank my beloved mother and my better-half, Sayeesa, without whose good blessings and encouragement, this book would have been a wild goose chase. Today, in fact, I yearn my much-loved sister Shaheena Akther were alive. She’d have felt relieved to take this book in her august hands. But alas, she (May Allah grant her heaven) died young when I was away from home stuck up with master’s degree!
One has to put in perpetual and unstinted efforts to wear ideas, the gown of words and this meek endeavor is no different. I thank all those who one way or the other helped me out to go on with this work. I, earnestly, acknowledge my Professors. To them, I really owe a lot. My heart goes out in kudos for my great teacher Dr. Nivedita Mukherjee, Professor, Dept. of English, Govt. Hamidia College, Bhopal. Dr. Mukherjee would always encourage and value my writing. I’m ineffably indebted to her for encouragement, inspiring suggestions and blessings.
