At the Kavi-Katha in Town Hall

With Mr H M Bangur and Mr Sunil Gangopadhyay

Monday, January 16, 2012: Yesterday morning I went to the Town Hall to witness Kavi-Katha via Gujarati poetry, dance and activism at 11 am.

Though Mallika Sarabhai was absent, Pranab Mukherjee did a very good job. One thing I noticed and liked was the green, yellow, red and blue coloured cloth which decked up the stairs of the Town Hall. I must thank the present government and the Kolkata Municipal Corporation that somehow Town Hall has become a hub for good events.

In the evening there was a Board Meeting of The Bengal (picture) in which the Safe City Project was discussed. The Bengal is planning to join hands with Kolkata Police and The Telegraph for this project.

The National Commission for Women have also expressed their willingness to be associated with this project.

Tomorrow I will fly to Jaipur.
