Gitanjali Circle of Young Creative Writers,

6th Poetry Recitation Function, 15th July 2017, CGI Birmingham

"The Gitanjali Circle of Young Creative Writers (GCYCW) has been going strong for the past six years and at this function Consul General Dr Aman Puri was our Chief guest.

The young writers recited their poems on a wide range of topics from India’s independence history to the latest Wimbledon tennis matches.  A cultural programme consisting of a saxophone performance, Bollywood singing and chanting of mantras, followed the recitation. The Indian National Anthem “Jana Gana Mana” was led by Shlok Jha (11 years).

The function was well attended, with over one hundred people. The response and support from the parents and relatives of the young writers and many respected members of the community was overwhelming.  John Claughton former Chief Master of King Edward’s School for Boys, Edgbaston Birmingham was our guest of honour.  Dr Krishna Kumar (founder President of Gitanjali Multilingual Literary Circle UK)  and Dr Krishna Kanhaiya graced the occasion.

Nikhil Mediratta conducted the poetry recitation in a very confident and interesting way.  Madeeha Saher (Chair of GCYCW) closed the session with an eloquent vote of thanks.
 

To conclude, I would like to thank Consul General Dr Aman Puri, Head of Chancery Mr Chakraborty and the Consulate staff for their support and provision of a prestigious venue for this event".

Best Wishes,

Mrs Swaran Talwar
