Pushpamma Chandy, life coach and psychologist (formerly associated with the Indian Consulate, Germany) released her maiden English poetry collection titled ‘Drops of Love’ at the IIT Alumni Industry Interaction Center, on May 25.
‘Drops of Love’ brought together acquaintances and strangers, and generated an atmosphere of peace, positivity and pleasantness that lingered long after it was heard no more.
The prayer song ‘Shanti Nilava Vendum’ rendered by Sujatha Ganapathy, IRS, resonated well in the hearts and set the tone for the momentous occasion. Actor Urvashi Archana released the book, which was received by Indira Sisupal, IRS; both women have been associated with the Chandys for a long time. With no prepared speeches, the illustrious ladies left the audience in awe and admiration for the resilient lady who turned her sorrow into strength. Indira Sisupal read two poems from the collection.
Media person S.S.Sriram’s felicitation was rather emotional. Swathy Suresh seamlessly conducted the proceedings as Master of Ceremonies. Poet Pushpamma Chandy delivered the vote of thanks, after reading the ‘title’ poem.
Dedicating the collection to her beloved husband, Late K.C.Chandy, IRS, Pushmamma’s message to the readers is: ‘May these poems serve as a beacon of hope for those who find themselves adrift in the sea of grief…’ For copies of this collection, contact: Email: [email protected], Ph: 98416 09409.
