subho bijoya

Shubho Bijoya everybody.
May Devi Durga shower Her choicest blessings on you and crown you with success in all your endeavours.

As they say we wait for things and it just comes and goes in a jiffy even b4 we realize its come and gone.

16th oct was the start of durga puja.. i love the festival, the dhak sound played by the dhakis its do peaceful, the pradip, the 108 pradips of sandhi puja, the bengali females in their red and white sarees, the bhog , the anjali... the puja bharam at night, the chops, the rolls, the mocha chop etc... ever thing around is so bengalish.. wish puja lasted forever

The entire year we wait thinking puja around the corner it came and went past.. its been 2 days since dassera. i mean time just flies by..

the entire time from 16th to 21st seems hazed busy and contented.

The funny part is that mom almost got me hooked with a guy whom i worked with at the pandal.

bijoya the 20 days b4 Diwali is the the days when we bow to our elders and greet the ones' who are younger.. they say its culture but i think it was more about bonding with family and friends. these 5 days that i spent at the pandal one thing i could see in abundance is the bonding between ppl so what if its just for about 5 days because we see each other at the pandal but at least there is hope that we are bonding. i saw a lot of youngsters who were like "man i am so much of out of this place" , honestly even i went through that phase where i felt awfully out of place but today when i look back i think we need to actually go through it to realize who we are and where we belong.

the entire year u hardly do anything remotlt related to ur culture, mind u i am not promitng religion or culture just the fact that it feels good to know where u belong. there have been times when i have thought its all crap but its not. i think i can never give up in being a bengali and nor sholud anyone for that matter give up anything that they are.

anyways just wishing everyone subho bijoya...

gotta go now.. gym is the place to hit now, i am trying to loose 4 kgs b4 this diwali.. wish me luck...
