Colourful Sudder Street

Sudder Street - always colourful, lively and full of fun. Many kinds
of people reside here, come here daily for various purposes. And just
for this reason, Sudder Street is totally different from any other
streets of Kolkata. Rabindranath Tagore once resided here. He wrote
the poem "Nirjharer Swapnabhanga" here.

A young batch of Jadavpur University will come here to bring more
colours, life and fun on 22 March, 2014 at 5 pm. Various colours and
modes would be adopted here by them to paint the old walls and
pavements of Sudder Street - pastels, water colour, wax etc will be
used to bring more life in this old street of Kolkata. Not only
colours, songs and music will fill the blanks. Saxophone, guitar,
flute, drums, dupki etc will accompany the singers. 'Aabra ca Dabra '
will bring a totally different evening in the routine of Sudder
Street.
