May
18, 2015: It was good to be in Kolkata last week. With no tours or
trips, I was able to finish a lot of desk work. I am thinking of
restarting events like the Recipe
Rendezvous
and Tete-a-Tea
series in Kolkata.

On
Thursday evening I went to see the special show of Piku
as Shoojit Sircar was in town and he invited me. In fact, I was
supposed to host the special show last Sunday, May 10, but because of
Srijit Mukherji’s accident in Delhi Jishu, who had played a role in
the film, had flown off to Delhi. Also, Anupam, who has given the
music to the film had gone to Mumbai. So I changed the plan of
hosting the show on Sunday evening.
On
Friday, on behalf of WFUNA
Foundation,
I organized and hosted an exhibition of the solo paintings by Rucheka
Jain who is a student of class X at La
Martiniere
for
Girls.

She had sold her paintings for Rs 4 lacs and donated the entire
amount to the Nepal earthquake victims.
When
she spoke to me, I was very overwhelmed.
I spoke to the Mr Chandra Kumar Ghimire, Consul General, Consulate General of Nepal in Kolkata, and decided to hold this exhibition with them.
