poetic side), the evening saw some of the best-known faces like renowned
classical singer Ustad Iqbal Ahmed Khan, Kathak exponents Nalini Asthana and
Shovana Narayan, Rajya Sabha MP Tarun Vijay, tabla guru Pandit Vijay Shankar
Mishra, yoga guru Prem Bhatia and radio journalist Mamta Kiran.
Sandeep Marwah President of Marwah
Studios won the hearts of the poetry lovers with his loud, clear and majestic
voice. His poetry touched the hearts of the audience. The meaningful words were
the outcome of pain and experience he got during his struggling days.
Poet Laxmi Shankar Bajpai in his
inimitable style anchored the programme. The NGO Sakshi-Siet organized the
event. “Poetry is an extremely strong medium of expression and it brings forth
the beauty and sensitivity of thoughts in an unforgettable manner,” remarked
Mridula Tandon, president, Sakshi-Siet.
