Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay : Eternal Orator Of 'Song Of The Road'

Today is the 118 birthday of Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay - the
eminent writer of Bengal who was born at a rural village, but a major
part of his life spent in Kolkata. He is my most favourite novelist
and short story writer.

Khelat Ch Ghosh Memorial Committee will observe his birthday in
Kolkata today. Another popular writer Buddhadeb Guha will preside
over the function and will discuss about Bandyopadhyay's literature
and life. Later, 'Bibhuti Samman' prize in this field will be
delivered to the writer Sanjeeb Chattopadhyay and vocalist Amiya
Ranjan Bandyopadhyay.

Bibhutibhushan was the writer of common people. So, common people will
also get scope to speak about the unforgettable writer -
Bibhutibhushan Bandyopadhyay.
