In the first year, J Rishi Dadhichi took the public bus transport to his college daily, having his favourite books the only company.
The books he devoured taught him the language and enhanced his imagination.
In his later years at college, the stories he told secured him a small group of friends and well-wishers, who appreciated his attempts.
The degrees he was awarded brought him a relatively large community, his students, to listen to his stories both he read and invented.
Nowadays, he looks for his stories to be heard globally, so he writes books.
