Live Telecast of Maha Kumbh 2021 on Doordarshan

Today is the day of  the second Shahi Snan of Maha Kumbh 2021 at Haridwar. Doordarshan was airing live telecast of this pious event.  I was watching it and getting immersed in devotion. The anchors were discussing many aspects of Hinduism. There are so much to learn from the wisdom of our ancestors, our scriptures. All the presenters were very knowledgeable, they narrated many unknown facets regarding Maha Kumbh. I want to thank all of them and Doordarshan for the beautiful programme.

It was a seven hour Live Broadcast. You can watch it from the Youtube channel of Doordarshan National, the video is titled 'Live: Maha Kumbh: Shahi Snan- Chaitra Amavasya- Haridwar- 12th April 2021'.

With lots of best wishes,

Jai Shri Krishna

Remembering Rituparno Ghosh

Rituparno Ghosh. The name reminds us of a sensitive director, who could capture the emotions in minute details through his mature direction. His characters always seemed very real! He understoood the world of women so vividly and used to deliver all those delicate emotions on screen through his characters. Hirer Angti (1992), Unishe April (1994), Dahan (1997), Bariwali (1999), Titli (2002), Subha Mahurat (2003), Satyanweshi (2013)- are some of his memorable works. There are many more. He brought a new flavour in Bengali movies.

The sudden demise of this great director in 2013 was no doubt shocking.

Tribute to the creative soul.

Jai Shri Krishna.
