Sindoor khela at Chaltabagan

On Sunday evening I went to watch Nandita’s play Between the Lines at the Birla Sabhaghar with a group of friends.

It is well known that Nandita is a good actor but her husband Subodh’s histrionic talents came as a surprise.

The hall was packed and the audience gave a standing and long ovation to the couple.

After the play, both of them came down and mingled with the guests. From there we went for dinner at the Taj Chambers with a group of friends.

By the time it got over it was well past midnight.

This was a long Sunday. I started the day early reaching Chaltabagan at 8 am to take care and see the last minute arrangements for Sindoor Khela.

Mrs Padmini Narayanan, the first lady, was the Chief Guest who came in a traditional Bengali sari as did the other guests.

I must thank the Kolkata Police for making an extraordinary security arrangements given the heavy turnout of celebrities.
