Working Class Heroes at the Art College

 Imagine, Working Class Hero, being sung at the Government College of Arts and Crafts in parochial little Patna - and hats off to the people who made it possible.

The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind ... we're reaching back to the good old sixties when Patna University was a bright star in the firmament of education, and what better way to witness it than to see young college students rediscover the beauty of the  passions of that era.

Yesterday, [Saturday,19th Feb] saw a unique little event unfold at the Government College of Arts and Crafts: an English Poetry Reading session organised by a group of students, attended by people who appreciate poetry in English: and it was a remarkable evening indeed.

Apart from a selection of poems, we were treated to the poetry of the legendary John Lennon and Robert Zimmerman aka Bob Dylan, sung to the rhythm of a hollow guitar.

The group calls itself Grafitti, and they have entusiasm written all over.

It's time for us to support such endeavours.
To bring back to Patna, its long lost cosmopolitan culture.
Thanks, Prof Pandey, the Principal of the College of Arts and Crafts, for encouraging such activities on campus.
