Mumbai: “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity. You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say,” said Dr. Sandeep Marwah founder of Film city and Chancellor AAFT University of Media And Arts at the International Kavi Samelan while inaugurating the session. It is an initiative of Tarang News planned online.
“It is a day to appreciate and support poets and poetry around the world. What you cannot say in large number of written pages you can express in just four lines of poetry. It is a stress reliever and one of the oldest forms of entertainment,” added Dr. Marwah speaking in the capacity of Chief Guest.
Anurudh Lal a well known social worker, Bhu Tyagi known environmentalist also spoke on the occasion. Popular poet Naresh Malik conducted the program and poets from all over India and abroad participated in this samelan.
