The atmosphere remained light-hearted throughout and it was evident that the large audience gathered at the venue was greatly enjoying the show. Satire, wit, humour and laughter reigned supreme. But wit was tempered with thought and there was a free sprinkling of intellectual content throughout. Truly, the fare offered was an example of a unification of sensibilities!
Mrs Vijay Lakshmi, former principal of GCG-11, presided over the event. She lauded the efforts of the Akademi and stressed the need for such cultural get-to-gethers in the city.
Mr Madhav Kaushik, Secretary of the Chandigarh Sahitya Akademi, ably compered the show. Also present on the occasion were Prof Manju Jaidka and Dr DS Gupt, Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson of the Akademi respectively. Prof Manju Jaidka, announced that the next event of the CSA would be a Kahani Darbar on the 26th of this month, which will be held at the Akademi's auditorium in the State Library of Sector 34.
