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.
