Kolkata: Celebrating Woman Power on International Women’s day

[Guest guest]

& Spandan performs lively interactive session that promises to inspire &

motivate one and all through touching, real life tales narrated by women from

different walks of life at Oberai Grand Kolkata.

As always, the open mike story sharing session brings to a focus a number of

critical women’s issues needing urgent attention. The stories reaffirm the

storyteller’s self confidence, faith and fearlessness and generate powerful

vibes that impel others to spontaneously share their life stories. Adding a

touch of entertainment to the evening’s discussion, Lee Alison Sibley, Mira

Kakkar and Renu Roy will read out a play celebrating the power and ultimate

triumph of womanhood and all it stands for.
