*********** At India Center *********** India Society of Worcester had a sell out crowd at the Hasya Kavi Sammelan presented at the India Center on April 26th, 2008 Dr. Suresh Awasthi, Dr. Sunil Jogi, and Shri Gajender Solanki regaled the audience with an evening of hilarious comedy and thought provoking entertainment. Their poems touched the heart strings with nostalgia of what India and its culture and traditions stand for. The comedy in the poems spared no one, the political figures in India, themselves as poets, current Bollywood stars, the evening’s audience. They had the poetry lovers laughing and clapping continuously for three hours. It was indeed an evening which comes around once in a few years. _________________________________________________________________________________
