On May 31 evening, Bengali Association of Greater Atlanta, commonly known as BAGA hosted "Kobi Jayanti" in the North Atlanta High School Auditorium to celebrate the 147th birthday of the Nobel Laureate poet Tagore and other literary geniuses born in Bengal, whose mighty pen sketched India on the World map through a long marching journey filled with history, tears, smiles, wishes, sacrifices and eternal songs. Their voices gave meaning to our lives, freedom and the future!
It was an evening filled with cheer and glee. The kids looked beautiful on stage performing flawlessly and care-freely, the taste buds were happy remembering the delicious food, the songs, the dances, the dramas and the musical extravaganzas were fantastic. In the end, the internationally acclaimed artist Rezwana Chaudhury's unforgettable Tagore songs brought a magical touch to every mind.
We were graced by the presence of the past presidents, bringing a lot of memories and a sense of achievement to those who did the foundation for BAGA Thirty years ago.
