she and the circle of life

Feast of happiness: Apropos the report "Where pandal-hopping is a way
of life for five days every year", dated September 28, I feel that it
is the very idea of togetherness that makes Calcutta hop from pandal
to pandal every year (Picture above of popular rendezvous point Maddox
Square on Ashtami, by Amit Datta). Dressed in new clothes, it is
during this time that Calcutta can take a break and enjoy happy
moments together. With relatives and friends turning up, Durga puja
gifts a key to happiness to Calcuttans. Innovative concepts and new
themes of puja pandals are further attractions that drag us out of our
homes. Decorative lighting is an added incentive. Armed with digital
cameras and camcorders, people love to capture the best pujas in town
and preserve them forever.
