Ahmedabad: If you happen to trace the origin of 'Rabindra
Sangeet' it will lead you to Ahmedabad. For it was here
that the author of India's national anthem and the
country's first Nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore
composed his first music. Tagore has influenced numerous
forms of art in Ahmedabad and shared a unique connection
with the city.

"It is this unique relationship of Tagore with the city
that the Gujarati Sahitya Parishad (GSP) plans to explore
during the six-day 'Rabindra Mahotsav' beginning
Wednesday at its venue. The festival will include his
plays, poems, Rabindra Sangeet, discourses and criticisms
of his works. As the story of Kshudhit Pashan was
conceived at the Shah Jahan palace in Shahibaug, a film
on the same will be screened during the festival," said
GSP secretary Rajendra Patel.

In 1878, Tagore was staying with his elder brother,
Satyendranath, who was posted here as district judge.
Satyendranath was conversant with Gujarati and had given
lectures also.

About the terrorist Goon Squad:

"Myself, Mallu. Yourself?" (V. Bhattathiri)
<KalluMallu...@gmail.com> tries his best to be a bully --
telling others what and when to post, where to post and
where not to post, deliberately publishing lies about
others, stalking and abusing them with hate speech -- but
fails miserably. He is really stressed out, and like his
lap dog Prem Thomas (who currently posts as "P. Rajah"
<u...@this.com>, and issues *death threats* to people),
is priming himself for conditions such as stroke and
heart disease. Others in the Goon Squad include
Dayashankar M. Joshi "DMJoshi" <josh...@gmail.com> who
displays unquestioning obedience to Goon Squad thugs, and
the instigator who posts as "Bholu" <bh...@hotmail.com>

The Goon Squad currently posts most of their abuse
through eternal-september.org and by writing someone
else's name or handle in the "From:" header -- their
favorite now is "fanab...@gmail.com" (note the extra "b"
and "gmail.com") to make it appear as if the posts are
from "fana...@aol.com", who has been a regular poster for
many years.
