Gearing up for the Puja events
September
19, 2014: The past three or four days I was very busy in office
preparing for the Dhak
Mahotsav
which is scheduled for Sunday, September 21, 2014 at 4 PM. Besides
the Governor of West Bengal many other prominent personalities from
various walks of life have agreed to be present. In fact, year after
year the expectations bar of Chaltabagan is being raised on its own
as a result I also have to concentrate more on arranging the
logistics.
On
Tuesday afternoon I met Arthur Gerbst and Olga from the Russian
Consulate as they would be leaving Kolkata. I could not attend their
farewell party so I met them over a meal. Arthur informed me that
after spending time in Russia he will be joining the Russian
Commission in Delhi.
In fact, apart from Arthur and Olga, the tenure of the Abida Islam, Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh in Kolkata has also come to an end. She too is going back to Dhaka. I always had a very good relation with the Bangladesh Deputy High Commission in Kolkata and the relationship grew stronger during Abida’s tenure in Kolkata.
Due to the Dhak Mahotsav preparations, I missed two events which I was keen to attend - Sahityotsav at Marble Hall, Raj Bhavan, Kolkata by Eastern Zonal Cultural Centre (EZCC), Ministry of Culture, Government of India. As far as my memory serves me this is the first time Raj Bhavan has hosted a Hindi poetry session. My friend Dona Ganguly also performed there after the poetry session. I also missed the release of Soumitra Chatterjee’s music album at Starmark.
I hosted a small dinner party at home on Thursday night and attended a meeting of the People Welfare Society today at 4 pm.
