Disha Foundation

Yesterday night went to see the premier of Ekti Tarar Khonje at Priya. I could hardly watch the movie as I was busy outside the hall in the company of the hosts and movie teams who are all my good friends.

Many people from Tollywood were there, including Mrinal Sen and Riya Sen (picture). After the movie went to the lounge bar Gossip near Udita apartments in Santoshpur with the film crew.

Today afternoon I was at a program of Disha Foundation at the Uttam Manch with Shatabdi Roy. The Chief Secretary Ardhendu Sen and Dhrittiman Chatterjee were also there. Disha Foundation is an NGO providing care to the slum children. The Foundation adopts children between 3 to 9 years of age and provides care till the age of 17 years. Currently, nearly 2000 children are under its fold.

We inaugurated the function by lighting the lamp (picture: Dhrittiman Chatterjee, Ardhendu Sen and Shatabdi Roy) which was followed by a cultural performance by children who benefited from this NGO.

In the evening just dropped in at Roxy at The Park for a few minutes.
