Coffee House

Sei Addyata (1983)
Music: Suparna Kanti Ghosh
Lyrics: Pulak Bandyopadhay
Director/Producer: Masbaul Talukder



I shamelessly copied this song from you tube, one of the phenomenal songs sung by Manna Dey. Looking for the karaoke for it.

The most famous Coffee House in Kolkata, also known as the "Coffee House at College Street"is situated opposite the Presidency College, Kolkata. It has been a regular hang out for students (and ex-students) of the Presidency College, Calcutta University, and other institutions in College Street. I make sure to visit Coffee house at least once in every visit to India..

It was the meeting place for the poets, artistes, literates and people from the world of art and culture. Wonder how many intellectual or political plans were hatched there, right sitting at those tables!

It feels nostalgic and LILY-PUTTISH, to be in a place frequented by Satyajit Ray, Manna Dey, Amartya Sen, Mrinal Sen, Aparna Sen, Jagadish Chandra Bose, Ritwik Ghatak, Narayan Gangopadhyay, Sunil Gangopadhyay and many other writers and editors!!.....MORE
