Summary
All the members who took part in the jamming, celebrated the monsoons through iconic Bengali songs about rainy season. Iconic songs like ‘Ei Srabon’, ‘Jhinti’ and of course the song, from which the name of the event is derived, ‘Tomar Priyo Ritu Borsha Tai’, by Upal and Nilanjan were played
On 11th September, the green benches saw a crowd of hundreds of students vibing in nostalgic Bengali songs, a scene, which was missing from the college for past 3 years
As we stand on the mere end of the ongoing
monsoons and are yet to welcome the graceful autumn, Bengali Literary Society
of St. Xavier's College (Autonomous) Kolkata, made their comeback after a gap
of three years, with a dynamic jamming session on 11th of September, followed
by the banner launch of their Pre-Puja extravaganza Bodhan, all under the
umbrella of a brand new event named ‘Tomar Priyo Ritu Borsha Tai.’
Bengali Literary Society, being the currently
oldest society of the college, holds a long running traditions of celebrating
the Bengali Culture and bringing together the Bengali-loving students community
of the college. Bodhan and Xavullash, organised by BLS, has
been among the biggest cultural fests in the city, which makes BLS one of the
most prominent cultural societies in the college. After the gap of 3 years,
Bodhan is coming back this year, with so many competitive and cultural as well
as literary events. With its star-studded panel discussion and performances,
Bodhan successfully brings together the Bengali sentiments and cultural
heritages, which we can sadly say, is slowly getting lost in the dynamics of
modern society.
That's why ‘Tomar Priyo Ritu Barsha Tai’
was so important of an event for the revival of BLS. Despite being an energetic
jamming session by the members of the society, it's importance lies in the
announcement of Bodhan, which is going to be held on 10th October. The scroll
of Bodhan was launched during this event, by the respected Deputy president of
the society, Prof. Shruti Goswami, as well as the first poster of Bodhan was
revealed by all the core committee members of the society.
