The second Sunday Session was held on 8 March when Deepanwita Datta was the sole participant besides me. From 5.00 to 6.30 p.m. We dwelt at length on the various problems facing the construction of the RAMAKRISHNA MISSION SEVASHRAMA, MUZAFFARPUR EYE HOSPITAL and sought measures to resolve the same in our own limited capacity.
Thereafter, Thakur had a surprise for us as Pandit Partha Bose and his wife Esha Bandyopadhyay turned up at our house and gave scintillating sitar and vocal performances privately in honour of my ailing mother who is so very endearing to them. Partha played Raag Tilak Kamod followed by Kafi and Esha sang Thumris in Raag Piloo and Maanj Khamaj. It was a real honour to have Esha and Partha among us to light up the atmosphere of the third Sunday Session although there were oblivious of it all. We eagerly look forward to them performing again.
