ECTA’s latest production “Banaprastha” premiered at the Edison Valley Playhouse on May 16th in front of a full house. The play was very well received by the audience as you can see in the accompanying video.  The second show was held on May 17th. Besides the video comments here are some of the comments sent over the email. “ We thoroughly enjoyed Banaprasta. This is a very timely production. I wish this drama can be viewed by millions Indians in India in view of the fact that India is crazy about Bollywood. Once again congratulations for presenting a great drama. ” - Aurobindo Mukherjee “ I saw your play yesterday and I must say it was outstanding. The theme was very contemporary and acting was great  Looking forward to many more ” - Gargi Gupta “ I want to encourage everyone to see the play Banaprastha. Mary and I saw it yesterday and we both loved it. The play entitled “Banaprastha ” is about an Indian-born physician who spends is professional career in Manhattan and retires to his childhood home in India. It is performed in Bengali and English with English subtitles. The acting and story was superb and the cast comprised several actor’s from the Jumpha Lahiri movie “The Namesake.” If you go I’m sure that you’ll enjoy it as much as we did. ” - Jason Paul DeMont “ I especially liked the topic that was addressed. I am one of those that believe if your spouse at old age is no longer by your side for whatever reason one should find another companion. Perhaps my work leads me to believe that I work with the Geriatric society in this country. Of course the crazy lifestyle which is imitated not really realized by Indians in India will cause a generation to suffer enormously. Globilization is fantastic but it does have its repercussion to the ones that are not mature. ” - Sashwati Chatterjee Bengali Webzine Urhalpool Released After the smashing success of the first edition the 2 nd edition of online bilingual Bengali English magazine  URHALPOOL www.urhalpool.com is out. The 2 nd edition is even bigger better and has contents covering more variety. Following are the highlights – - Urhalpool Reader Ruchira Mondal’s short story Indranil Bakshi’s poem - Series novel from  Sunil Gangopadhyay - Series poetry-novel from  Tasleema Nasreen - Collection of short stories including a translated one from 2008 Pulitzer Prize winner  Juno Diaz - Interview from India’s most successful cricket captain  Sourav “dada”  Ganguly - Special section on  Feluda with interviews from  Sandip Ray   Soumitra Chatterjee Sabyasachi Chakroborty and a f ull script of unpublished one-act play on Felu-da - Interviews from film-star Prosenjit and multi-percussionist  Bickram Ghosh member of the Grammy award winning team for the album “Full Circle” - Special write-up from  Nabaneeta Deb Sen   Sarat Kumar Mukhopadhyay   Sunil Gangopadhyay - Poetry from Nobel Laureate  Roald Hoffman - Remaining part of the interview of  Prof. Noam Chomsky - Poetry from Carolyn Forché   Yousef Komunyakaa - Goutam Ghoshe’s multimedia interview introducing his latest movie “KaalBela” ..and many more Also for the literary minded in Kolkata and vicinity URHALPOOL printed version is available in circulation printed and marketed by “Punoscho Prokashoni” Kolkata Share this article Close   Bookmark and Share This Page Save to Browser Favorites / Bookmarks Ask backflip blinklist BlogBookmark Bloglines BlogMarks Blogsvine BuddyMarks BUMPzee CiteULike co.mments Connotea del.icio.us Digg diigo DotNetKicks DropJack dzone Facebook Fark Faves Feed Me Links Friendsite folkd.com Furl Google Hugg Jamespot Jeqq Kaboodle kirtsy linkaGoGo LinkedIn LinksMarker Ma.gnolia Mister Wong Mixx MySpace MyWeb Netvouz Newsvine oneview OnlyWire PlugIM Propeller Reddit Rojo Segnalo Shoutwire Simpy Slashdot Sphere Sphinn Spurl Squidoo StumbleUpon Technorati ThisNext Twitter Webride Windows Live Worlds Movies Yahoo Email This to a Friend Copy HTML:  input readonly  readonly onclick  this.select  type  text value  Community News Bites: Banaprastha and Urhalpool size  84 title  Copy this HTML to create a link to this page /   If you like this then please subscribe to the RSS Feed .
