I got a little confused about what in the Kallol Pujo cultural program exactly met writer's expectation. Did he know something which we didn't to set his expectations on lowest common denominator? Admittedly, he argued; Friday was disappointing, Saturday was a disaster and Sunday had to be awkwardly stagemanged by a child; it still surpassed or met his expectations. Interesting observation.
Even discounting the sound malfunction the play production was nothing to write home about. The selection of the play was ill-considered for the occasion. Moreover the director, the actors and stagehands, all seemed to have seen their prime.
As a rule in this country the singers in their concerts perform only their published and already popular numbers and sometimes cover songs.  The reason is obvious; live perfomance lets the audience participate and be involved.  Selecting only her own songs might have given Suvomita a distinction and a point to make as she expressedly did in fact. Some of her song numbers may have been heard before by a handful of recent H1B's,  but not by the the vast majority of the audience here. She overlooked that she was not performing on a Calcutta podium. Her performance was technically superb, but dull and lifeless. Not tuning to the audience is a failing on the part of the performer, greatest she may have been. The ultimate responsibility for the lapse of judgment of course rests on the shoulders of the program organizers.
