Dadu'r Jonmodin



For me, this year's Pnochishe Boishakh happened two days early. Google, de-facto homepage of every netizen tweaked their logo on 8th May. I was looking for a new gadget when Dadu's Protikriti in google's logo captured my attention. This time of the year in Kolkata is generally marked by saree-clad aunties sweating in makeshift stages of Nandan premises, dishing out conventional rabindrasangeets throughout the day. Add to that DD Bangla's lacklustre Robi-homage programs (the private channels are not much different) . I am glad to have escaped all that fuss and actually a bit proud to see Google India's tribute.
