Spot the piece by fellow Kolkatan, Rabindranath Tagore. No coincidence that Anup has included a song by the Bangali Noble Laureate. This weekend Dartington Hall is the venue for a celebration of Tagore and the spirit of renewal he brought to the village of Santiniketan in northern Bengal, where he founded the progressive university of Visva Bharati - and the similar inspiration he brought to Leonard and Dorothy Elmhists rural revitalisation scheme at Dartington itself.
Ten fascinating lectures by high-powered visiting speakers - including the Bangladeshi Foreign Minister. Ten engaging seminars on widely varying topics, covering spirituality, wellbeing and - most important of all - practical suggestions for promoting peace and reducing conflict. Fourteen instructive workshops - dance, artwork, gardening, even furniture recycling. Seven spectacular concerts, two films and two parties. Not to mention seven miscellaneous 'events' which are hard to categorise: bicycle decoration and dalala bike ride, stories to wear, and even anarchist baking. (The mind boggles!) Down the road at Aller Park, a new art installation by Dartington's new Artist-in Residence, Ansuman Biswas. (No relation apparently.)
To put this extraordinary extravaganza into perspective, co-ordinator Jude Wright will phone in from Dartington Space to give the low-down on all the events - and the highlights.
In between making the arrangements for all those wonderful guests!
