Social media is a new family we belong to. Life is a celebration and finding reasons to keep calm during this lockdown is a severe challenge. But the social media group Khelaghor is all geared up to stay mentally healthy. On the auspicious occasion of Tagore’s birthday, Khelaghor has come up with online celebrations.
“I am delighted to participate in this Thakurbarir Saaj, which is as old as 150 years. All the group members expressed their love for my participation”, says Mishore Kanti Dutta.
The online program started in the morning. Everyone performed on their respective rooftops. The program started at 7 a.m. with an opening dance by Santasree and Sweta. Then one after another performance followed. The performers were – Saborni, Arpita & Rakhi, Suchandra, Ranjana, Sudeshna, Somrita, Achena, Suchismita, Madhumita, Ayan, Pritam and Ranjanya.
