CHICAGO: A burgeoning Indian American social organization, Hindi Lovers Club, has taken one more step in its bid to popularize the Indian national language – Hindi – in this part of the world by announcing to host once a month Hindi Kavi Manch.
Vinita Gulbani, president of the Club said that the Manch will meet every third Tuesday of the month at different libraries in Chicago land from 6-30 p.m. to 8-30 pm and will encourage hidden talents among Hindi lovers in the community to come forward and recite their poetry or poems of renowned Hindi poets at the Manch meet.
She said that former president of the Club Gurbachan Kaur Neelam saw a big love for Hindi poetry in Hindi Diwas celebration on Sept.15 in Ashyana Banquet and “collectively we felt that why not have a monthly gathering to recite poetry to each other and enjoy the same along with facilitating social interaction.”
“As being a poetess myself, I love to write and read Hindi poetry, and I thought that we need to provide a platform to many like me to express their inner thoughts and feelings through poems. Gurbachan Kaur and others instantly fell for the idea and hence, Manch and a meeting once a month,” she said
Besides this is yet another way, she added, to promote Hindi literature, one of the objectives for which the Club had been started three years ago.
