Baishe Shrabon
Today is Baishey Shrabon. We respectfully pay our homage to Kabi Guru Rabindranath Tagore on his 71st Death Annivers

ary. Down the memory lane, we always fondly remember Kabi Guru’s presence in every sphere of our life – be it literature, songs, poems or paintings. On this day of Shrabon, when sky is overcast with cloud, and drizzling showers the ground, famous song of Kabi Guru – “Jharo Jharo Barishe Bari Dhara” … comes into my mind. Our remembrance and obeisance to this versatile personality will always be too little to meet up the greatest contribution he made to the mankind. In the evening, I am going to inaugurate the newly set up auditorium ‘Rabindra Tirtha’ - a cultural centre providing music archive, library, art gallery, etc. at Rajarhat. The function will be attended by famous personalities like Dwijen Mukhopadhyay, Jogen Chowdhury, Shuvaprasanna, Saoli Mitra, Joy Goswami and performances by Mohan Singh and Swagatalakshmi Dasgupta. It is a matter of pride and satisfaction that the concept of creating this set up was announced last year on 7th August, and within a year, the entire project is today ready for inauguration. So it proves, that if there is a strong will to do something, success will follow.
