World Poetry Day is traditionally celebrated in the walls of our university on March 21. This holiday is dedicated to the great art of word, which is able to inspire and light up hearts, reminding about the most important things. On this very day students of the International Medical Institute of KSMU and Medical and Pharmaceutical College, employees and participants of the Center for Creative Development and teachers gathered in the auditorium № 4 to hold a musical and poetic evening dedicated to the immortal art of poetry and the Year of Family in Russia.

Muhammad Iqbal, a 4th year student of MMI, opened the poetry evening with Rasul Gamzatov’s poem “One morning my mother asked me”. Confidence, emotional style of presentation and individual intonation touch of reading made us think and broaden the scope of understanding of the work. Anna Bogushevskaya, a 1st year student, a participant of the KSMU Tvoi Voce studio, who read Rimma Kazakova’s poem “Two”, continued to immerse in the light atmosphere.

Poems read by students of the International Medical Institute Irfan Afifah Binti Mohd Fairuz, Muhammad Iqbal, as well as Ksenia Danilova, Daria Filimonova, Anastasia Semenikhina, Evgenia Muraeva, a participant of the Literary Studio of the Center were dedicated to close relatives, grandmother and mother.
Krishnakumar Abinaya with Samuil Marshak’s poem “So many days have passed since childhood” and Mungse Chinmayi with reading Denis Chervyantsev’s essay “It is so arranged that children grow up” brought us back to our childhood. One involuntarily recalls those carefree years.

A poem written by Anna Borisovna Khuraseva, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of KSMU, dedicated to a special brotherhood – front-line brotherhood, was recited at the poetry evening. The poem “Zhuzhik” was read by the student Ravi Shankar Arul.

The poetry evening was given a special touch by musical pieces “Talk to me, Mom” performed by Mohamed Rafiq Ayesha Fathim, a song by Ania Kimberly Cov about the love of parents for their child and their promises to take care of him forever, about gratitude and devotion of a child to his parents.

At the end of the evening, the IMI students performed the song “Mama is the First Word,” which the entire audience joined in singing.
Poetry is beautiful in its diversity. Everyone can join it, discover something unique in themselves and for themselves.

Thank you to the organizers of this musical and poetic evening for the opportunity to dive into this beautiful world of poetry, feelings and eternal memory of the most important thing in our lives – family.
