        Today is sasthi (6^th day), worship starts…through display of idols, the décor, the music, the lighting, the theme, and individuals & collective programs & fests. Durga Puja is always been special for everyone around eastern part of the country. Special to the extent, that indulge begin right from shopping, new wardrobes, cloths, footwear’s, accessories, make ups, amazing foods & drinks, restaurants, hardly in homes… anything . Everything comes to standstill, conventional works being abandoned, officials are on leaves. We all forget our petty differences for a short while, during this period of time.Undertake Anjali’s, endearing adda, touring, programs, cultural activities, complete freedom, free from routine bindings…

        But Kolkata is where all the action is in full display, state of Art pandals, lakhs of visitors, planning, hopping different pandals, never sleeps during these five days, not even at night. Yes! So many pandals, Idols, decorations to admire, so much to do…

        It’s the spirit of Durga Puja, unique sound of ‘dhaks’ & excitement counts, a spirit of joy and contentment, with belief that ma Durga will solve our entire problem and lead us into a better World.

       We welcome and renew our faith in brotherhood through this peculiar unity that binds in all in this occasion. I’m also waiting to join to the festivities, fun & togetherness… time for family & friends & relatives…
