Come all you fans
Of madness and rhyme
Come join us for some laughter
Leave reason behind
Bring on the shine
And all else can come after
In English too

Abol Tabol, a group of us met at Bhawanipur House, to read out poems. Brilliantly helmed by Kaberi Chatterjee, we walked through a short bio of the master of Rhyme. The quirky characters, his commentary on society, colonists and women. The language innuendos which have become a part of Bengaly daily life. A phenomenal contribution of one man. A fascinating session indeed. Most members read out poetry and read out the English version. A memorable session indeed.
