Durga Puja - A Moment For The Bengalis

The countdown has already started. 

Hardly 40 days in hand.

The scent is in the breeze 

and the warmth is in our hearts.
My heart feels like floating along the cotton like clouds in the autumn sky.

I can hear the drum beats or rather "dhak" vibrating all around me.

After all, Maa Durga is on her way to Bengal. The Puja sensation is all around!

Crowded streets with vibrant, clamorous groups of people, enjoying their puja shoppings to the fullest.

The different aspects of nature seem to echo the joy and excitement which is present among us all.

We are proud to be Bengalis. So, this time lets celebrate Durga Puja in togetherness and make it really special and memorable in our own ways.

Dedicated To My Friends

I often sit and think what my life would be without my friends. And it is then I realize how much my friends mean to me, how much they care about me. So this is something I want to dedicate to all my dear friends.

I asked God for a companion

And He gave me such an incredible one like you.

You never left me alone in the dark crowds,

Where there was no one to help me out.

You never turned your back to me

When I was wild with anger.

You taught me never to lose hope,

Even when there were failures on my way.

You always cheered me up,

During the gloomy days.

You always made me smile

With everything you said,

When you saw me in distress,

You were the one to cry for me.

When the others only sympathized with me in my sorrow,

You were the only one to empathize then.

Please keep up your love and affection,

For this is what I need the most.

Thank you, my dear friend

This is all I can say.

Make Your True Friend Feel Special

Who do you call a true friend? For me, it's someone who is always beside you, through thick and thin. Well, one thing is certain, a true friend is the biggest treasure in your life. If you have a true friend,  no misery can ever let you down.

So, this friendship day, how would  you like to thank your dear friend for being there beside you always? . You know, only an e-card is not enough. Even the most expensive gifts are not enough. The best way to thank your friend is to make him realize how special he/she is for you, how much he/she means to you.  A few simple words and a hug filled with love is the best way you can thank your friend. So what are you waiting for? If you have a true friend then go and tell him how treasured he is. I hope your friendship lasts forever and grows even more deep this Friendship Day.  

The Sound Of Music

We make memories and we live them

They say music is a universal language. Music is loved by all and it reflects different thoughts and emotions of  life.

Music often reminds us of sweet memories. Has it ever happened that you have switched on your i-pod to a tune you haven't listened to for a long time, and suddenly it reminds you of some blissful days, which you would like to cherish again? 

I've always experienced it. Music makes sweet memories even more memorable. Music always gives me company in different moods of life. How can I forget the numerous meet ups with my friends?  All had a different fun, and some special music which made them so enjoyable. 

Music has added different colors to each day of my life. It is because of music that I can say "I make memories and I live them."
