Dastan-e-Mehfil is a heartwarming and nostalgic journey through the vibrant chaos of college life, where dreams are scribbled on hostel walls and friendships are forged over cutting chai. Set in an engineering college, this tale follows a group of unlikely students who come together to build something that doesn’t exist in their academic world — a poetry club. As they battle internal doubts, academic pressure, and the ever-familiar resistance from authority, they discover a newfound voice in verse, rhythm, and rebellion. From open mics that barely have an audience to jam sessions that echo across the campus, the story captures the raw, beautiful struggle of turning a passion into a legacy. With humor, heartbreak, and a lot of late-night conversations, Dastan-e-Mehfil is not just about poetry — it's about finding yourself in the most unexpected places. Ideal for young adults, college-goers, and anyone longing to relive those fleeting golden years, this book is a tribute to the messy, magical madness of youth. If you've ever chased a dream that made no sense to the world but meant everything to you — this is your story.
