The Bijoya kolakuli is over for the year. But the spirit of adda that���s typical of the Puja, lives on. Rather, it���s made to live on by the media. So, when a
private Bengali channel organised Sharad Sammelan, at the Science City auditorium, there were takers galore.
Singer Lopamudra Mitra, Voice of India participant, Toshi, actor Ananya Chatterjee and Mumbai television import, Jasveer Kaur, truly wowed the audience with their acts.
But as always, Mir, the anchor for the evening, stole the show. As Monami Ghosh, Chaitali Dasgupta, Rupam Islam and Jaya Seal Ghosh judged the pandal beauties and couples, Mir gave his own take on
���sundor���. ���Buddhababu sundor, Mamata Banerjee sundor, Ratan Tatao sundor. Sundor ke dhore rakha jayena. Tai Nano chole gelo.���
The high point of the show was, however, the kids dressed up as the Durga family. When asked whether he liked the pretty woman who was handing down the trophy, the five-year-old Kartik outwitted Mir, with his remark, ���Debotader ki erokom jiggasha korte hoy?���
