It was launched by Dr Lanurenla, HOD, Asst. Professor, Department of English, Fazl Ali College, Mokokchung.
In her address Dr Lanurenla said, “one element that remains supreme and constant is the 'creative input.' Artificial intelligence, computerised creations, machines may take over but one thing that will remain unsurpassable is the creative inputs that Artificial intelligence cannot steal and that is the beauty of human minds.”
While sharing about his inspiration, the author said, he drew inspiration to write the book from a wise word of his father, “there are plenty of talented people who works very skillfully at a competitively cheaper cost, it is for us to decide whether to step up or step down.”
