Hoshiarpur:- In an event organized by Punjabi Sahitya Sabha Hoshiarpur in collaboration with the Office, District Language Officer Hoshiarpur, the book 'Rishtyan Di Mehak' by Principal Gurdial Singh Phul was launched and a discussion session was organized, which was presided over by Dr. Karamjit Singh, Madan Veera, Tripta K Singh, Dr. Jaswant Rai and Dr. Harpreet Singh. Before the event started, Research Officer Dr. Jaswant Rai read a condolence message in favor of poet Shriram Arsh, comedian and film personality Jaswinder Bhalla, nephew of Sabha patron Kultar Singh, Dr. Hardeep Singh Sethi and Punjabis who died unexpectedly due to floods in Punjab and the present litterateurs and literature lovers paid tribute by observing a two-minute silence.
After this, the president of the society, Tripta K. Singh, welcomed the guests and congratulated the author for the prose book. Presenting a pamphlet on the book, Dr. Harpreet Singh said that the book of flowers, whose diverse and extensive topics show that the author has a variety of topics. At the same time, these articles also give a glimpse of his human approach.
This book is an address to maintain the purity of relationships that are deteriorating in the capitalist era. Madan Veera, giving his critical comments about the book, said that where Gurdial Singh creates a narrative as a teacher in the book, his perspective seems constructive and serious, but where he adopts a medieval thinking about culture, he looks pale.

Concluding the debate, Dr. Karamjit Singh, while talking about various aspects of this prose book, said that writing prose is not a chore for aunts. It requires a lot of reading. The biggest example of this in Punjabi literature is Principal Teja Singh.
