A manic week
September 11, 2015: It was a busy day yesterday. I can’t remember a week day when I was in Kolkata and did not go to the office at all.
I
had a meeting at 10:30 AM and then another one at 11:30 AM. After
that I went to the Italian Consulate General's residence for lunch
and there I met Andrea, an Italian scholar of Hindi. She has not only
read my mother Late Prabha Khaitan’s works but also studied it
extensively. Post lunch there was another meeting at Park Street.

Madhur was in the city to promote his new film
Calendar Girls with his calendar girls - Ruhi Singh, Satarupa Pyne,
Akanksha Puri, Kyra Dutt and Avani Modi.
I
must admit Shraddha conducted the show extremely well with her body
language, articulation and questions. It has been a long time since I
witnessed such a well-moderated event.

The
YFLO event was followed by meetings at the Hyatt Regency and ITC
Sonar respectively. And then, I had five dinner invitations to
attend, including The
Bengal Fashion Week
celebration hosted by Arijit Dutta who is also the style brand
ambassador of the Fashion
Week.
The
only invitation I could keep was at a private residence in Salt Lake
where I managed to reach 11:30 PM.
The
dinner was in honour of Javed Akhtar Sahab who is in city for an
event at The Taj
Bengal
called “Ismat
Apa Ke Naam” along with Dr Rakshanda Jalil, Uday Prakash, Ratna
Pathak Shah and Heeba Shah.
I
look forward to hosting Javed Sahab for a dinner at my residence
today. Tomorrow I shall out to New York.
