The ne plus ultra of soulful poetry: Kumar Vishwas

A charismatic persona, gifted with a mellifluous voice, none other than Dr. Kumar Vishwas mesmerized the students and staff at Centre of Media Studies, University of Allahabad on Dec 21^st 2010, on the occasion of Photography Exhibition organized at Nirala Art Gallery.

Dr. Vishwas is a well known face among youth. His verses unfold the reality and dilemma of youth’s life and his spontaneity and versatility captivate the audience.

I would also like to thank our course coordinator Mr. Dhananjay Chopra for organizing Dr. Vishwas’s visit in our department.

Dr. Vishwas was here to interact with students on Media and Society. He addressed the students on commercialization in Media, degrading Educational system and extinguishing morality and virtues in our society and among youth. He also targeted the national icons for their irresponsible behavior and mentioned what they could have done for the welfare of the Nation. His innovative ideas, inspirational views and stupendous words left the students spellbound.

As a flower is incomplete without its fragrance similarly Dr. Vishwas’s presence is incomplete without his poetry...

His poems created a sublime aura and as soon as he quoted his most celebrated lines… “Koi deewana kehta hai koi pagal samajhta hai….” the audience showed their appreciation with a huge round of applause.

As we know, ‘no good movie is too long’ likewise we felt his presence was too short. He promised to visit us again and then took a view of the majesty of Photography Exhibition.

With this the gala came to an end.

But the glorious memories will ever remain..
