PAST EVENTS

Little Stars: A Grandparents’ Day Special
For Grandparents’ Day, celebrated on 7 September, we featured a heartwarming video stitched together from tributes sent by our members’ grandchildren. Across a few weeks, we gathered these clips, in which the little ones expressed their love through songs, recitations, paintings, and dance performances. One especially touching moment was when Ms K. Banerjee’s three grandchildren, who live abroad, learnt and recited a Bengali poem just for her. The entire session was filled with such tender gestures, each bringing smiles on our members’ faces. By the end, everyone was deeply moved, and the evening closed with warm festive wishes exchanged all around.

Where Poetry Meets Song
When famed record collector and music aficionado Mr Rantideb Maitra spoke at a Friday programme, he lamented the lack of exchange between different art forms in the modern age. In our latest session, we did something to turn the tide. Four members recited poems, and four others responded to each poem with songs of their choice. The poems were drawn from different authors, and the songs spanned a rich variety—thumri, Rabindrasangeet, Nazrulgeeti, and an Adhunik (contemporary) Bangla number.
By the end of the session, the evening had blossomed into a true confluence—of art forms, tastes, interests, languages, and minds.

Teaching, Then and Now: A Teacher’s Day Special
This was an intergenerational talk we had been planning for a long time. Ms Shomasree Majumdar, a schoolteacher from Mumbai, was in conversation with two of our members—Ms M. Mukherjee, a college professor, and Ms S. Chattopadhyay, a teacher of children with special needs. As diverse teaching methods met, so did values across a span of fifty years, sparking stimulating discussions on the ethics of pedagogy and effective modes of teaching. The evening ended on a tender note, as our members paid tribute to their favourite teachers, sharing stories of the ones who had left an indelible mark on their lives.
SE Clubs

NURTURING AND SHARING THE JOY POETRY BRINGS
"The crown of literature is poetry" - W. Somerset Maugham
Our poetry-loving members meet every week to enjoy the beauty of the verse. While some enjoy reciting poems by well-known poets, there are others who pen poems and are thrilled to dig out their long-lost poems—poems that they had thought had lost their value over the years. But we know that good poetry is perennial.

TOGETHERNESS AND CAMARADERIE
Storytelling and connecting are the essence of ‘Adda’ or ‘Gupshupp’ as we call it. For our Gupshupp Club members, it is a time of unadulterated fun when they delve into their memories of yore or are in splits over someone else’s story or talk on pre-decided topics or even sing songs. The feeling of togetherness and camaraderie is what makes them look forward to each meet.
Members have discussions on pre-decided topics, chosen by all participants, the previous week.
