While Anisha’s poem, ‘Falsafa Zindagi Ka’, was about
the philosophical belief related to people’s
responsibility for creating purpose or meaning in their lives, Aspriha’s
recitation of Kavita Tiwari’s ‘Balidan Rahega Sada Amar Mardani Laxmi Bai Ka’
described the life and valour of the queen
of Jhansi in an emotionally charged manner.
In the recitation section, Upasana won the second
prize. She recited Rakesh Tiwary’s ‘Jinde Sapne Tut Te Huay. Prabhakar, who
recited ‘Krishna Ki Chetavani’ by Ramdhari Singh ‘Dinkar’, bagged the third
prize in this category.
Chief guest and well-known poet, Dr Shakil Moni, gave
away the prizes to the winners.
In his address, which was dotted with poems and
couplets related to the theme, complimented the budding poets. “Do not allow
negativity to influence your passion and creativity,” he said.
