Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) sub-inspector Seerapu Srikanth received appreciation from noted author Ruskin Bond for his first book ‘Memories’, which was released recently in New Delhi.
Sri Srikanth, a native of Jarajam in Echerla in Srikakulam district, said it was a great achievement to receive praise from Mr Bond.
Srikanth, who rose to prominence last year by climbing Mount Kilimanjaro, said writing a book was more difficult than mountaineering.
He said that he developed creative skills including writing, singing, composing, Latin dance along with effective time management from his childhood days.
