On 2ND October I felt it at Rashbehari Avenue, Kolkata
with shoppers in their holiday best attire, shopping.
I am in Jaipur from 20TH to 28TH so No Pujo in Kolkata
On 2ND Shree was also operated upon.
SO
Today is 5TH so Mahalaya is 10 days away only, it is on the 15TH October.
Here I am comparing an important even in my life
with Sharadotsava / Durgotsava / Durga Puja. which is an equally important even in Bengal in general, Kokata in Particular
and to me It has become a part of my psyche as long as I am in Kolkata.
I call the girl from Kolkata reason for THIS This an unusual Pratima entirely made by kids Disneyland Notoce Donald Duck at the bottom and Pink Ganesh Ji this is Pujo 2011
********************SO HERE IS WHAT MY PUJO 2012 IS**********************
Shree is my Durga
Dr Ganesh Dasgupta the Pujari
Operation on 2nd October, My Pujo
Low Haemoglobin's Count Punya
The Tumour is Mahishasura, who is slain now
Bhasan remains, once the biopsy is cleared My Durgotsava or Sharadotsava is over
*************************this is autobiographical status of today Friday 5th October 2012,
Those who do not know much about what Durga Puja or "Pujo" as Bengalis call it
here is the wikipedia link
Read and please get informed,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durga_Puja
I can vouch for it I have seen Many festivals at a lot of Places
I do not find a festival celebrated with such gaeity,2009-2011, enthusiasm and colour, 99% Bengalis are at their own Ancestral Bari(home) If you have observed our President Of India Hon'ble Shri Pranab Kumar Mukherjee, for the 9 days of Puja or from Mahalaya to Vijaya Dashmi he is at his Ancestral Home in Jangipur
Of course they read Puja Special Boi's during the day & sleep till late in the morning (Books I saw an exhibition at Rabindra Sadan on 1st October) their are many , eat chanar payesh(kheer a sweet custard made of thick evaporated milk with cottage cheese instead of rice or nolen gurer rosogolla(Rosogulla made of liquid palm jaggery and cottage cheese) and at night move from Puja Pandal to Puja Pandal, Pandal Hopping, much like Pub Hopping, and meet friends.
And I have seen many accross India
Deepawali of Jaipur 1969-1984/1988-1994/2000/2008)
Ganeshotsava of Mumbai 1994-2000
Holi of Mathura especially Barsane (lath mar Holi) 2007-2009
Lohri In Delhi Sriganganagar and Fazilka. 1983-1984
Navratri Mumbai 1994-2000 and Vadodara 1992
Unfortunately I am yet to see an Onam in Kerala in spite of being a Malayali. Though I have seen, the preview on 2nd September 2011, when I went to the wedding of Lakshmi Narendran, my niece, but I will do so next year , thats a promise to myself
The picture is taken by Shree at Maddox Square Durgotsava on 24-9-2009. This was my 1st Durga Puja Pandal in Kolkata, though have been to many Puja's at Shree Rajput Sabha Bhawan Jaipur and S.S.G. Pareek P.G. College, Jaipur Road Durgabari
Don't worry the picture is inserted here , the 1st picture at the bottom, thank you :).
