Please do like, share and comment not just to your own videos, but to those presented by others. For a change, let's watch, enjoy and appreciate other's creativity and talent before we appreciate our own. Let's cultivate a new culture of love and mutual concern which is the need of the hour. We are all part of one family, the AIFEST Family, and here we all love and care for each other. Encourage your friends and fellow poets for their creative efforts. Like their videos if you think you like them. Also comment on the videos, preferably make constructive comments so that everyone can improve, gain confidence and become better poets and orators in future. Let's grow by helping each other grow. In these cynical times it is important for each one of us to show that we care; being compassionate, understanding and inclusive is the way forward for humanity. The narcissistic I-My-Mine outlook can't take us anywhere. Let's join hands, under the shade of poetry, to recreate the warmth and humanity that we missed in our mad rush.

AIFEST YouTube Channel could have made a huge impact by uploading video submissions individually. That was easier for us, and that was what many of us would have liked; we could have shared our own "personal" videos with our friends, and then likes and comments and shares. The Channel would benefit immensely too. But then, what is Poetry without ears? What is literature without audience? Reading poetry in the comfort of my private space feels good sometimes; but these days, don't we yearn to go out, to meet, greet and mingle? When my poem is sandwiched between 2 other poems, maybe, my poem will feel a little irritated, a little nauseated, a little claustrophobic. But poetry can't be like us, right? It would enjoy the company of other poems, surely!

The first videos we posted were those submitted by our little kids from schools. Encourage them, enjoy their creativity, and instill the confidence and enthusiasm to mature into better and greater poets in times to come. There is no doubt that our world needs more and more poets, especially in these changing times.
