dint know i cud write...(plz comment)

So on the eve of bijoya dashami when i sit back and think of the great times i had during the pujas, the only images that come to my mind are the highly crowded streets of kolkata, strolled by its natives who take pride in visting the pandals and taking blessings from Maa Durga...Being born and brought up in kolkata has instilled this attachment wid this festival.. and being a resident in the neighbourhoods of kumhartuli , since childhood i have seen thousand of idols passing by loaded on huge trucks. Kumhartuli - the only potter town of India is quite well known to the extent that channels like discovery have made documentaries on the same... every year idols are exported to India and even overseas from this place...i think enough of providing my detailed attachment to the festival lemme continue with my perception of the festival.. i wont say that i am an impulsive pandal hopper and that the very thought of experiencing wild crowd brings goosebumps.. i always want to cherish such outings with family so i dont overdo it.. but amidst all the hustle when u finally manage to reach your destination the only image that remains imprinted on your mind is the beauty and serenity on Maa Durga's face even when she is killing mahisasur.. adorned by exquisite artistry n craftsmenship are the pandals which are result of months long hardships and creativity that take full bloom one week prior to the festival... and then another in moving clip crosses my mind..no its not the beutifully lighted streets , neither is it the overly dressed people ... its the cadets , bsf officers, kolkata metro railway employees, traffic police yes these are the people i am thinkin of rite now... at such moments wen i can sit bak n think of the festivities these people cant even do that... how could they have it after all..??? were not they busy providing high level security to us so that we can have an awesome time...??? yes these are the people we dont even think about , but the fact is its becoz of them that we have had a blissful puja... the series of blasts were actually responsible that led to such strict security in cal.... newaz... this was little insight or a sneek peek into my world n perceptions..hopefully will be updating my blogs more often now.. n a piece of info .. that this was my frst blog since registered on blogspot .. it wsnt meant fr u to like it or dislike it.. it was jus a vent to my feelings.. unlike my personal diary where there are no intruders...(lollzzz..!!!)
cheers Sweta...!!!
