High tea with Ficci FlO president
With Neeta Boochra |
Nov
7, 2014: Yesterday was hectic as I hosted a get-together over tea in
the afternoon at the Taj
Chambers
for Ms Neeta Boochra, National President, Ficci
FLO,
who was in Kolkata.
Ms Boochra is the first woman from Rajasthan to
be the National President of Ficci
FLO.
I have known her since a long time.
I have been collaborating with
Ficci
FLO
for my events from the tenure of Ms Vinnie Kakkar.
With Anuradha Lohia |
I
invited a few guests, Anuradha Lohia, Vice Chancellor, Presidency
University, Krishna Bose, Rita Punwani who is the incoming president
of Ladies'
Study Group (LSG),
Madhu Neotia, and other LSG
members Abhilasha Sethia, Mallika Verma. Priya Seksaria, who is the
Chairperson of Ficci
FLO,
Calcutta Chapter, was also there.
Chinese Consul General, Wang
Xuefeng, was also there. My family (industrialist-philanthropist)
friend Ashok Verma who is based in London and is the Chairman of NRI
Foundation and
currently on a visit to the city, joined
in.
After
the tea party I went to the Menoka
Cinema Hall
for the premiere of Rituparna Sengupta’s new film Pati
Parameshwar. The
film, a Bengali comedy, is directed by Jayasree Bhattacharyya.
With Madhu, Neeta and Krishna Bose |
After
spending half an hour I went to the South
City Mall
for the premier of Prosenjit Chatterjee’s film Force
in which his wife Arpita Chatterjee has also acted with him after a
long time. The film, directed by Raja Chanda, is action-packed
thriller based on father-son relationship.
Prosenjit plays the role
of Arjun, an encounter specialist police officer, whose is out to
eradicate crime and criminals from the society. His son is an
autistic patient suffering from neuro-developmental problems.
From
South
City,
I went to the Quest
Mall
for the special show of Kaushik Ganguly’s film Khaad.
There
is no way I could have watched any of the films but as Rituparna,
Arpita-Prosenjit and Kaushik are my friends, I decided to watch the
films later but went there to wish them the best.
From
Quest
Mall
again I went back to the South
City Mall
for a private dinner and by the time I was back it was midnight.
I
am thinking of having a special screening for Pronam
members for Prosenjit’s fiolm Force.
The coming weekend I also have scores of programmes lined up.
