Kolkata's Greats at Tollygugne Club





























Kolkata is synonymous with art and culture and music is at the forefront of this. On Sunday night I was witness to one such musical extravaganza at The Tollygunge Club. The evening started with the Mrs. Renu Roy gracing the stage as the host along with the Mr. Ashok Chakraborty a filmmaker of repute. He introduced the first act, Mr. Anjan Dutta, who needs no introduction, but for those who don’t know him. Mr. Anjan Dutta is a songwriter and singer, an actor and a movie maker. In his latest avatar he has also taken up Radio as a challenge and is an RJ with Friends 91.9 FM. Mr. Dutta in all modesty admitted that he hasn’t really written that good songs, but did sing one of his most famous songs and one of my favourite “2441139” a song which made that poor unfortunate person who owned that number to give it up and get a new number and of course “Bela Bose” a household name.

After Anjan Dutta, Anjum Katyal came on stage with a young talented boy on the keyboards and belted out some old jazz and blues tracks.

The show stealer was a young handsome man who I feel could even make a living doing stand-up comedy if his melodic and pulsating voice ever fails him. Shayne Hyrapiet got the otherwise noise in the air gentry at the club on the dance floor with his gyrating and hip thrusting pelting out a popular Punjabi song.

The grand finale, Usha Uthup was the sole reason for me wanting to attend the show. The lady doesn’t cease to amaze me and true enough she gave Shane a run for his age. The legendary lady in her sari and sneakers had the audience captivated and asking for more. Usha Uthup is the epitome of Kolkata’s music scene.

Apart from the singers a bit of dazzle was added with a flavour of art and films with leading ladies Moon Moon Sen and June Mallya coming on stage to felicitate the singers.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
