Kolkata, 7th May 2025— Club Fenicia hosted An Ode to Tagore: An Evening of Conversations, a soulful gathering that brought together voices from literature, poetry, and cinema to honour the women who inspired—and were inspired by—Rabindranath Tagore in the esteemed presence Anjum Katyal,Writer and Translator and Sudeshna Roy, Filmmaker and Cultural Commentator.
At a time when luxury often distances itself from cultural depth, Club Fenicia stood apart. As Asia’s largest luxury lounge, it continued to embrace India’s rich cultural and intellectual heritage. This evening was a testament to Fenicia’s vision of celebrating not just occasions, but the legacies that shape our collective spirit.
The conversation featured Anjum Katyal, and Sudeshna Roy along with Paromita Ghosh, Founder and Director of Candid by Paromita. They reflected on the lives of women like Binodini Dasi and Kadambari Devi, and the powerful female protagonists in Tagore’s works. The dialogue explored themes of love, freedom, rebellion, and the quiet, enduring strength of women in both Tagore’s world and the world he imagined.
The evening attracted lovers of literature, history, and feminist thought—offering not just conversation, but contemplation and inspiration. It served as a reminder that Club Fenicia was
consciousness. As Chairman Mr. Kunal Gupta had always believed, true sophistication lay in staying connected to the values and stories that define us. At Club Fenicia, every celebration became an opportunity to honour those timeless connections—and this evening was no exception.
