A poet !
He was never a recognized poet. Never did he made any attempt to publish a poem in any written form.Yet how remarkably and how superfluously and how effortlessly he expressed any given situation in his own poetic way.And if ever there was a topic encompassing the word 'Beauty' he was simply superb and unstoppable ! It was impossible for us to be indifferent whenever he preferred to paint a a romantic picture with his brush of words in a mere empty canvas. Oh ! How we miss him !!
Creating a history in literary world ?
Nowadays, it seems impossible to create history in literary world ! The death of a popular bengali writer during the Duga Puja ,possibly has much to reveal !! A reaction....an expectation not fully fulfilled. Wonder what reaction the literary world holds for the departed soul ?
Fireworks at Chatu Babu's Bazar - Kolkata
People flocked around to watch the remarkable fireworks at Chatu Babu's Bazar. It was a date for most Calcuttans whose long association with this traditional fireworks almost became a passion. Begun by two brothers( better known as Chatu Babu & Latu Babu) more than 180 years ago -it continued till a few years back. Many eminent personalities including foreign tourists witnessed it during Kali Puja. Wonder if this wonderful Old Calcutta tradition could be revived with more light & lesser sound !
History of Calcutta ?
Whenever the history of Calcutta is discussed, something new emerges. Usually serious historians becomes rather sceptical when attending such seminars.They probably disbelieve anything published or discussed recentely. Hence it will be interesting to hear what P.T.Nair or Avik Roy says at Sutanuti Parishad on 6th October'12 at Sovabazar Nat Mandir at 6pm regarding the said subject. There will also be a cultural program in Bengal's Folk Songs. Posted by : Saibal Kr. Deb.
