http://stageplatter.blogspot.com/2011/01/cars-get-ready-for-judges-scrutiny.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. Cars get ready for judges’ scrutiny. Salvaging a vintage or classic car from a scrap yard and restoring it is a hard-won joy. A restorer showed us one of the cars in his collection and the photographs taken when the car was brought to his workshop and explained the effort it took. To revive such classics. But will it pass the judges' scrutiny, come Sunday? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rally tells stories of war and love. Beauties in motion set to bear the chalice, brave .

The Kolkata Stageonomics: The Storyteller
http://stageplatter.blogspot.com/2010/04/storyteller.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. Soma Basu meets Kunal Basu, the man who gave Aparna Sen the story for her film The Japanese Wife. Kunal Basu, author of three acclaimed novels The Opium Clerk (2001), The Miniaturist (2003), and Racists (2006) and a collection of short stories, The Japanese Wife (2008), would any day be caught sitting idle imagining than found rummaging through social theories, anthropology, area studies and even memoirs. Here are the results of a rapid-fire game that I had with the author.

http://stageplatter.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 11, 2010. More than a ‘play’ worth watching, Anupam Kher’s Kuch Bhi Ho Sakta Hain was an entertaining programme. A review by Soma Basu. What if artists painted their life on canvas and musicians played their life on stage? As Kher moves from one episode to another of his life, his narration is assisted with audio-visual clips from his movies, those made by others, Dilip Kumar and even santoor player Shivkumar Sharma, who was listed as a guest in the characters of his story. The simplis...

Sunday, September 26, 2010. A heap of broken images. Soma Basu gets slayed by Shabana Azmi’s views on gender struggle. 8220;So intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,. So intimate that when you fall asleep it is my eyes that close…”. Imagine what if these lines by Pablo Neruda were not exchanged between lovers but jealous siblings. The shuddersome night would not have seen morning without any of them stripped off their identity. Azmi is doing the play for free. “I was approached becau...

The Kolkata Stageonomics: Beauties in motion set to bear the chalice, brave the roads
http://stageplatter.blogspot.com/2011/01/beauties-in-motion-set-to-bear-chalice.html
Sunday, January 9, 2011. Beauties in motion set to bear the chalice, brave the roads. When owners of vintage and classic cars drive their beloved vehicles down potholed, congested city roads on Sunday they would, like the boy in the James Joyce story, be "bearing a chalice safely through a throng of foes." The Statesman Vintage and Classic Car Rally is here and so are the romantics who lend their magnificent machines to this annual epiphany. Mr Shrivardhan Kanoria, who is entering the competition with ni...

There are many more of your tribe, me included! And to discover that its a 'name' and not a 'phrase' added further angle to my already arched Zygomaticus minor muscle. Now now, before I someone cracks up my Neurocranium or decides to create major imbalance to my Splanchnocranium, let me quickly clarify my motive! And went...
