Thanks Live7n,
for stopping by, and your comment.

This is one time of the year, when I just can’t help being homesick.

thanks juturna,
for stopping by and your thoughts.

Pujo does bring out the good feelings in most of us,
we feel happy for one another for no other reason than it being Durga Pujo.

wonderful post… it was my first mahalaya this year simply because i’ve lived all my life in chandigarh and somehow never got attuned to this wonderful morning… but, this year, i’m thankful to my love… spent that morning with him, albeit on phone as we’re in different cities, but listening to that same recording… it was wonderful… and your post was simply awesome… reminds me of how he spends his mahalaya as well… thank you, both…

@ my rulzbending friend,

you are just like a willow the wisp,
never know when you are or where you are.

Gosh I miss India. Special days brings back special memories.

Live life to the maximum, my friend,
Make every second of your present count,
collecting good memories wherever you are, wherever you go.

For time just flies by, some day you maybe living on these memories, like I do these days.

Thanks earthie,
that is very true about memories.

What saddens me is the memories live only as long as the mind lives,
when the person dies, the mind dies and in an instant all memories gets wiped off forever.

I am learning so much with all your post…and it was so facinating to know about little bit extra about Durga Pooja. This sort of reminded me of my time when, I searched for Rajasthan’s celebration of Navratri -each of the day depicting something…..!
Loved the way you narrated that morning has not changed in all these years….lol…same at my home….he he he….!

Little Indian, fond memories can sustain us and keep us smiling.

re. the alien ancestors, I am open-minded and would never rule anything out.

@ the7new7ramanujam

thanks for stopping by,
not just proud to be a bengali, but still a ‘bheto bangali’.

ekhono mone praney bangali, bondhuder moto ghota koray shaheb hote parini, tai kal rate mahalayar kotha mone pore gyalo, bohu diner onek smriti joma roye aacchey.

Thik. calmed er chhatro chhilam. Sheta arek jonmo jyano.

Thanks Earthie,
Did i not say I am reaching an age when looking backwards comes naturally.
It is a major festival time, a few days of heaven for the kids,
still I hope.

(At the risk of upsetting many),
I believe in alien ancestors
and I do not believe humans evolved from apes.

What a lovely reflective insight into your past Little Indian. And some interesting thoughts there about the origins of the gods and goddesses.

It is a shame that all the historical texts – the scriptures etc. have been given a few ‘re-mixes’ along the way making them totally unreliable.

T’is even more sad that many people accept much of the religious texts as being 100% accurate and true.
