Sravani,
Be very very careful with your communications. Emails tend to bite back. they should be specific in content and addressed only to the people concerned.
Unfortunately your email has caused chaos instead of clarity. Let it rest. Life goes on and this is a lesson learned. If you keep revisiting it with more convoluted explainations it will take on a life of its own ..............enough.
Take a deep breath. This is not the end of the world. Learn from it and Good Luck with your next session.

Dear Mr. Dinesh, K.Ravi, ash.pgdm, GK, mnj.tiwari, manu.sharma and uniquenaga,
Thanks for your suggestions. As you and many of our CiteHR professionals rightly said, it was really a great and bitter experience for me. I normally take the feedback immediately after the program, but as i did not have enough copies on hand, i could not circulate it.
But with this incident, i am maintaing sufficient copies and distributing it immediately as the program ends and collecting back imeediately. This is more convinient and safest method. It improved the process from one angle. As others stated, as time passes by, people forget it.... till now the need to meet the manager did not arise, may be tomorrow i may meet him.... i pray he will calm down :)
Thanks once again. All your messages not only relaxed my thoughts but also warned me to be careful of my work.

Dear All,
Thanks for your enormous response and valuable suggestions. Every word in each message tells, how much thought process was made to my case... Thanks a ton. I completely agree with you all in each aspect. This is really a small issue but great and bitter experience.
Now i am very cautious in sending emails to the people. Improved the process of collecting feedback immediately. Not to forget the blue colored statement which Mr. Kuljit pointed out. email etiquitte. When & how to appologize?
Thank you for one and all.

Its nothing dear...Be confident- what you have done and what you are doing Most importantly- Your intention was not wrong hence you are were not wrong. In the corporate culture you need to learn this art. everybody commits the mistakes, there is no signle perosn on this planet who does everything alright. You mentioned that "I coordinate all the activities of Training & Development at my company" think this was your OJT. Be happy.

Hi sravani,
This is a very silly thing. i think you are just paniking coz those who told you are of higher position than u r.
But yes when you do apolozise pl make it in different communication to the particular person/people only.
its an experience i am sure that you won't forget.
There is no problem if your co-workers know. you just need to laugh at it & remember not to do it again.
Don't panic........it might reflect what you r doing now & what you will do next.

Dear Sravani,
You need to understand that we all learn from mistakes. Anyone who is willing to perform shall commit mistakes and there is nothing wrong about it. It is the genesis which matters ie., whether the mistake was delibrate or unknowing. Yours seems to be the latter one. So do not brood over it. U know lessons are learned the hard way. I am not in agreement with ash.pgdm that u should laugh it off. U have realised the mistake and u will not repeat it. Laughing it off shall only make you more complacent.

I too smiled and said, "yes sir. though bitter, it was a good experience. now i am more cautious in my work... there is a reason for your reaction but i dont agree with our company secratary.... anyways it was good lesson for me.. thank you sir"........... he too smiled and said "it happens... jst relax" and we had our meeting continued.....
Now i am completely relaxed........Once again thanks for all of you.. May be your responses also created some confidence in me to step into his room and speak with confident... Thanks!
