Chintadhara - a thought process

Wish you all a very happy Bijoyadoshomi !! It's that day of the Durga Pujo when I feel bit low. Today morning only I was telling mom, every year I feel Durga Pujo is like a 5 seconds festival though we celebrate it for 5 days. But it’s also the day when I remember how much fun I had in last 5 days. And I would like to share the memories with you all too...

This time I was at home on the occasion of Deepawali and Kali Pujo, after many years. And interesting fact is that I had mentioned last time I came home that I would come on Diwali next time, but had forgotten all about it. I think this what we call destiny. Here are few pics which I took with my parents at our home in NTPC-Kawas and Kali Pujo celebration at NTPC-Jhanor, about 3hrs from Kawas.

It's again that time of the year for which ev ery bengali waits for since the previous years dusshera. Today is shoshti ('shasthi'), the day when the Durga Pujo begins. In good old days when I was a student it was a day when 5 days of fun used to begin. Spending time at pandal with friends. How can I forget the famous bengali adda . But now things have a changed. Today I am sitting in office working like any other day and same for tomorrow. Though looking forward for the long weekend to celebrate the pujo. This is my second pujo in Chennai. Last time I celebrated with my roomie and his friends. We went to few pandals. This time round though he is not there, he is in kolkata. So this time planning to join my cousin dada o boudi along with masshi o meshomoni. Its a full house there. This is also the first pujo for dada's son. Wishing you all too a very happy and rocking pujo!! Bolo bolo joy Durga mai!!
