It was an ode to Tagore, titled Gaaner Katha, that had the city’s celebrities come together at Palladian Lounge, recently.Talking about the event, Sujoy Prosad Chatterjee said, “We shared the anecdotes and history behind some of Tagore’s songs. For example, very few are aware of the fact that the poet had composed Maran re tuhu mama when he was just 20 years old.
Another misconception is that Tagore composed Amar praner pore chole gelo ke after Kadambari Devi passed away.
Truth is that he sang the song often after Kadambari Devi’s demise while taking a stroll on the terrace.”
