I thoroughly enjoyed this gala event. The sights, sounds, food and drink seduced me totally. I found every poet at his best, yet, recitals by Richa, Rajai, Muddu and Mohammed Ali entertained me most. The BV team led by Ronald Saby spared no effort and expense to pamper us no end, even bringing out the best toddy..
