Getting Curiouser

Siba Prasad Maitra (in red tee) holds a briefing for the Annual Day function

Things are getting curiouser and curiouser by the day about the club's Annual Day function. All that was discussed and decided the day-before (ref post of November 27) was overturned this morning as Siba Prasad Maitra took over the reins of the event.
But it was with a caveat: “I am assuming responsibility provided the initiative comes from you all. This has to be a joint show with everybody involved.”
For starters, the function will not be combined with the New Year’s celebration on January 5 (as decided earlier). It will be held on an evening and mounted on a proper stage like the last time -- with lights, sound system and the works. “Dilip Babani has committed to putting up the stage for Rs 5,000 only,” Maitra revealed.
However, no date for the show has yet been announced. Bijoy Gupta was entrusted with staging a one-act play and he promptly came up with a brilliant ‘rough draft’ on the #MeToo movement that had us all double up in laughter. He asked for time to develop the idea.
There will also be the usual items of variety entertainment, such as group song, dances, skits, mono-acting, etc. as part of the programming. As of now, this remains work-in-progress.

Bihari Milwani:
Wonderful! The entire programme, including the story, actors, the stage, etc. has been finalised, but not the date of the event. It is like the baaraat is ready and on the way, but the date of marriage is not finalised.

Lt Col Angad Singh (rtd):
It is nice that the Annual Day programme is being chalked out. Hope I too will be able to join you all in time. My best wishes, as always.
