Am thinking of covering a bit more of Durga Puja stuff this year than general; because I do feel that people might be interested in it. Beyond lo-res short videos too and a few photographs. That is, if I / anyone can even walk in CR Park during that time as there’s hardly any place left to walk in most cases. One week to go, with the Mahalaya happening today. Frankly, I don’t even know what it’s about apart from the fact that corporate fat cats are ready to pay top dollar for sponsorship rights during live telecasts done at the crack of dawn. Translates into mom getting up bleary-eyed at 5am and watching the aforementioned live telecasts being broadcast from multiple paras in Kolkata. More information about the Mahalaya online? Hmm, should make interesting reading. Clueless-Bong-Writing-About-Some-Event-He-Doesn’t-Really-Quite-Get.

@ Ankur – You are a VEGGIE? That comes as a pleasant surprise…Becoz Bong and Vegetarian dont really go hand in hand….!
Ankur is a different kind of bong. I felt wierd sitting in front of him in Kolkata during the CBQC thing and chucking chicken sandwiches down my pipe. I had offered him but he just said that he was vegetarian and that didnt go down quite that well. Anyways the trip was fun wasnt it Ankur?
@Prateek: Yup. Vegetarian. I know the sort of response THAT gets generally. 😉
@Archie: Yeah dude, that trip was totally fun. 😀
Bro u sound frustrated with ur cultural identity!!! I am neither a bong nor a culturist in any sense of the term but if you are so ashamed to be a bong or watever why don’t u just chuck dt banrjee out of your name?
@SB: Nope, I’m not. I just love a good joke.
