Hindi poet on a peace mission (06/02/2011)

Singapore, Feb 6 (PTI) Indian poet and standup comedian Kumar Vishwas is on a mission to spread "peace around the globe" through his brand of light-hearted language-based entertainment.

Kumar, who hails from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh, said that there were no barriers in entertainment fields, and he believes that Indian languages, especially Hindi and Urdu, remained the same even after 60-years of bitter and political-driven partition of the country.

"We speak the same language � be it Hindi poetry or Urdu ''shayari'' across the border and wherever the Indian community resides across the globe," said the 40-year-old solo entertainer before presenting a three-hour show "Hasna Mana Hai" here last night.

Kumar joined Sunil Yogi, Albela Khatri and Pradeep Choube in the "Kavi Samelan" attended by some 500 Indians living in Singapore. This was the second time that the "Kavi Samelan" was held in Singapore, the first being last year.

The four entertainers have done extensive contributions to Hindi literature in the form of books, feature articles and on line websites with blogging.

"We have gone around the world, wherever Indians live, to promote Hindi language in the form of ''shayari'' by using our talent of communicating in light mode to educate our audiences," Pradeep Choube of Gwaliar said.
