Ramayan scholar to write poems on Big B

New Delhi: Starting from Monday, poet and Ramayan scholar Mustafa Arif has embarked on a unique task of writing a poem a day on Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan this year.

"The compilation of 365 poems on Amitabh Bachchan will be published in the form of a book in January, 2008. All earnings from this book will be given towards charity," Arif said.

Earlier, Arif had written a poem a day on former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and compiled it in a book called `Dharti Par Hai Atal Mahan'.

He has also released another compilation of Hindi poems `Yeh Dil Mange Aur', a collection of poems in the genre of political satire. -- PTI
