On the birth anniversary of Rabindranath Tagore, Bhopalites remembered him in a musical way. On Tuesday, a three-day festival, ‘Rabindra Utsav,’ began at the cultural hub of the city, Bharat Bhavan.
Marking the first day of Rabindra Utsav, ‘Rabindra Sangeet,’ followed by a Hindi play, ‘Bobby,’ was held at Antarang Hall, Bharat Bhavan.
The evening began with the tuneful Rabindra Sangeet. Under Rabindra Sangeet various poetries of Rabindranath Tagore were melodiously presented before the art lovers of the city.
One of the mostly sung and celebrated poetry ‘Jodi tor dak shune keu na ashe tobe ekla cholo re’ received huge applauses.
The entire Antarang Hall was packed with art lovers of the city, enjoying every bit of the event.
later, a Hindi play ‘Bobby’ was staged at Bharat Bhavan. Directed by Reena Sinha, the play highlighted about the parents’ wants and a child’s wants.
Notably, these days it is a normal scene where a child is seen busy over-loaded with the school work of gripped in technology, missing out the finer things of life like spending time with parents or playing outdoor games.
On the other hand the parents are seen busy in their work leaving the child alone.
Highlighting these issues children took to stage with élan, Vijay Tendulkar’s ‘Bobby.’ Bobby is a play that speaks of the issues affecting the present day children.
The play surrounds the life of a little girl who after being neglected by her parents creates an imaginary world in her mind.
This play also showcases her quest to receive her parents' love and attention.
The play ends on a positive note with Bobby finding the love and attention she craved for from her parents.
The play was beautifully staged by kids and received much appreciation by the audience.
