Pujo Elo

Its soon going to be that time of the year which is most awaited by Bengalis- Durga Pujo. This is not just because of the ritualworshipping as such-it is also because this is the time of reunion, of family gatherings, of people wearing new clothes and kids having holidays.
Time almost comes to a stand still in west bengal-with all govt offices, schools, colleges etc being closed up for these 4-5 days.....
Personally I do not like ostentatious expenses and mindless rituals( might get killed by bong friends for saying this). But all the fun, festivity, collective community enjoyment almost makes it seem worth all the hoopla and hype.
Well let's see how Hyderabad celebrates Durga Pujo....Hopefully I will have fun this year too.........just like all other years....
