Durga Puja - some thing that I believe all Bongs looks forward to. We might not have a same approach towards it but still it means a lot.
I think many of us will be able to relate quite a lot to my story.It has many sweet memories attached to it.
As a kid Durga puja was more of the no of dresses I got.I must have a dress for every day and even better if two-one for morning & the other for evening.Its more of showing off the wardrobe as I can now say.
After that age came a time when Durga puja was all about flirting and enjoying with friends and friend of friends. Its always better to see new faces to flirt with !Then goes the Phuchkas and chats and rolls etc.....quite a list actually.
And now for us with all the initial part still alive it is more of going home after the long hectic hours slogging in office for the whole year.It is a now a different meaning all together. Meeting all the aunties and their typical "o ma koto boro hoe gechish re!" ;meeting old friends after years together.Some other time its a planned meeting of all the friends who stay at different parts of India and sometimes the world(keeping all those doing GRE or GMAT and the obvious onsite s). Parents who wait all the year just to spend some time with us. With lots of expectations and apprehensions here we come Kolkata to have a rocking time.
