Rain, wind moving our way Friday
KCBD Weather at 10 for Thursday, Jan. 28 By John Robison | January 28, 2021 at 6:10 PM CST - Updated January 28 at 10:29 PM
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A chilly day on the South Plains as highs remained in the upper 40s to mid 50s with winds gusting over 25 mph.
The winds will return tomorrow, along with the clouds, however, it will be warmer. I expect afternoon temperatures in the low to mid 60s over most of the area.
It will also remain mostly cloudy as moisture streams into the region ahead of a strong storm system moving this way. That system will bring us a slight chance of isolated showers and storms early Saturday.
Sharmila Tagore in Satyajit Ray’s Devi (1960) | Satyajit Ray Productions
Satyajit Ray arrived on the planet nearly a hundred years ago in 1921 and in the world of cinema with Pather Panchali in 1955. Devi and Jalsaghar
. Apur Sansar
, the concluding chapter of the trilogy, introduced Soumitra Chatterjee and Sharmila Tagore. Both actors would become an indelible part of Ray’s cinematic universe.
The haunting Devi
, set in nineteenth-century Bengal and at the intersection of blind faith and rationality, was Tagore’s first lead role. She plays Doyamayee, a member of an aristocratic family who is declared to be the living embodiment of the goddess Kali by her father-in-law Kalikinkar (Chhabi Biswas). The gentle and tradition-bound Doyamayee is unable to resist the cult that builds up around her. Her husband Umaprasad (Soumitra Chatterjee) is equally unable to persuade his father that his wife is all too human.
