NEW DELHI: In an evening filled with literature, poetry, emotion and cherished memories, SPK Foundation hosted the launch of “Jazbaat – Pankaj KeLiye,” the debut book by Mrs. Sarita Kalia, on 23 August 2026 at the PHD Chamber of Commerce, New Delhi.
The occasion brought together celebrated literary voices, journalists, social workers and distinguished guests, creating a fitting setting for a book born from love, remembrance and a deeply personal journey.
The evening was honoured by the presence of Chief Guest Divya Prakash Dubey, acclaimed Hindi author, storyteller and speaker. His much-loved work Musafir Cafe has found a new and wider audience through its adaptation as a Netflix series, earning appreciation for its sensitive portrayal of relationships, love and the unexpected journeys of life. His presence at the launch added a special literary significance to the occasion and offered an inspiring beginning to Sarita Kalia’s journey as a debut author.
The literary celebrations continued with a captivating Kavi Sandhya, featuring renowned poets Arun Gemini and Chirag Jain, whose poetry added warmth, wit and soul to the evening.
The gathering was further enriched by the presence of Rajkumar Sharma, journalist and renowned social worker, and Manoj Sharma, Chief Editor of ChaarDishaayein, whose participation reflected the evening’s beautiful coming together of literature, journalism and social engagement.
A BOOK WRITTEN FROM THE HEART
Jazbaat – Pankaj KeLiye is more than a book—it is an intimate expression of memories, companionship and enduring love. Written by Sarita Kalia in remembrance of Pankaj Kalia, the book captures the emotions, experiences and relationships that shape a life and remain long after moments have passed.
For Sarita Kalia, the launch marks the beginning of a new and deeply personal chapter. After a life devoted to family and professional responsibilities, she steps into the literary world as an author and poet, turning memories into words and emotions into a lasting legacy.
SPK FOUNDATION — FROM EMOTION TO ACTION
The evening also reflected the larger philosophy of SPK Foundation, which seeks to transform compassion into meaningful action. The Foundation has been associated with initiatives including organ donation awareness and pledges, support for eye surgeries, free legal aid and community welfare.
The launch of Jazbaat – Pankaj KeLiye was therefore not simply the unveiling of a book. It was an evening that celebrated love, literature, remembrance and the enduring power of human connection.
As Sarita Kalia begins her literary journey, Jazbaat stands as a testament to the belief that some stories are not merely written—they are lived, felt and remembered.
