Kapil Dev -The 1st World Cup Winner !

While finishing my morning walk I met my senior friend

  & neighbor Siddhartha Ghosh. After a bit of chitchat I

 enquired about a framed photo that I have seen a few months

ago in his house. The said picture was hung just at the entrance 

so that whoever comes may have a good look at it. Hence I too

have not failed to notice it.

The picture showed Kapil Dev (the famous Indian cricketer ) 

putting a shwal around my friend's shoulder as an act of feli-

citation. 

My friend who was the Chief Accountant of Ananda Bazar

Patrika has retired and was in extension-as far as I know. 

The felicitation was for his long service towards the ABP

Sporting Club he claimed. 

"The next time if you have the opportunity-please tell him

about me."

In fact it was probably me who produced the only cassette

on the cricketer's achievement in winning the first World

Cup for India. The song's lyric & music was composed by

me. In fact I was the singer too.

      I sent a copy of my cassette to Kapil Dev who not only

listened but sent me an appreciation letter too. 

The letter still remains with me !

Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad!

My wife and myself usually spend around five/six months in Hyderabad.Our son, along with his family, has been staying there for quite some time.  We sometime taste the renowned Hyderabadi Biryani. To be very honest we often miss the Kolkata Biryani.  After many years we finally got the taste here too. O Kolkata we found your Biryani here at last!  Today is a Sunday and we were planning to have our lunch outside. Finally we ended up in a restaurant   near Kukatpally with a peculiar name. In fact the very name drew us towards it. Dum Maaro Dum was the name. We casually ordered Biryani knowing it to resemble Kolkata's taste.  We were simply bowled out to find the Biryani's taste as excellent as Kolkata. In fact better in some aspects both in quality and quantity.  At last.. at last.. at last The Kolkata Biryani in Hyderabad! They guaranteed that their Hyderabadi Biryani too is good.  Yes we will find it out the next Sunday.

Tara Bhora Akasher Niche. By Srijato !

We usually used to go to bangalore every year to our son.  It was in such a visit -we found our son and daughter-in -law pretty busy with music rehearsal. There were other young guys  too and they looked quite serious.My wife ,of course, got busy cooking some tasty snacks for them.On enquiring we were informed that they would be participating at  BoiTHEK by Ananda Publisher and hence the rehearsal. Finally they participated , enjoyed and came back with 1424 Sharodia Anandabazar Patrika.  It was from that Patrika that I came along Tara Bhora Akasher  Niche by Srijato. Today I finished it and found it quite abstract and interesting . A sort of dreaming experience- I should say !! .
