Dinner party and Author’s Afternoon with Shatrughan Sinha

With Bharati S Pradhan, Shatrughan Sinha, Rituparna, Pranab Das Gupta and Samrat Datta

April 8, 2016: Yesterday evening there was a dinner party with Shatrughan Sinha to celebrate the success of his biography – Anything But Khamosh – by Bharathi S Pradhan. I invited quite a few of my friends. Shatrughan Sinha, a gifted and colourful raconteur as he is, spoke very well. He also embarrassed me to no end by lavishing praises on me over the public address system.

Today afternoon there was An Author’s Afternoon with Shatrughan Sinha and Bharati S Pradhan.

It was a packed house and it got over rather late as Shatrughan Sinha wrote a few lines for each and every guest while giving away signed copies of his biography which is a part of the Author’s Afternoon format.

We just had an Author’s Afternoon on March 30, 2016, with Subroto Bagchi and the next one will be again on April 23 with Manu S Pillai.

In May and June we have Barkha Dutt and Zac O’Yeah, so maybe we could skip the Author’s Afternoon in July.
