A musical evening in Victoria Memorial

March 2, 2016: I shall spend this whole week in Kolkata. On Monday, the week started with a beautiful concert hosted by Prabha Khaitan Foundation along with the Victoria Memorial with Rekha Bhardwaj.

It was the first time she sang a Bengali song with Sourendro and Soumyojit in the amazing surroundings of Victoria Memorial where the event was organized.

Rekha Bhardwaj got so involved in singing that she was close to tears a couple of times and finally she broke down and could not sing. The mesmerizing surroundings of Victoria Memorial and Rabindra Sangeet can do this to anybody.

This week, all the evenings are busy and I have scheduled a lunch with few diplomats which I shall be hosting on Friday. Last Saturday (Feb 27), I went to see Einstein play at Kalamandir where Nasiruddin Shah acted as Einstein and no doubt you can’t find any fault in his acting not accent.
