Durga pujo 2010 is knocking at the doorstep. Its really exciting to think of all such things that I usually do every puja time – pandal hopping, moving with the crowd, taking pictures of goddess durga, relentless staring at some of the beautiful pandal art work, etc.
There’s still a month in hand for the pujas, but who will stop the Bengali shopaholics, who are already out there shopping their favorite accessories and designer wears from various shops spread far and wide. Whether it is the elegant boutiques or the simple street side stalls, Bengalis are seen everywhere hustling and bustling to buy the best ones at affordable prices.
One typical feature of Bengalis is their bargaining power. I’m sure no people on this earth can bargain like the bongs. They are masters in this area – fight over the prices till the very last moment until the shopper is convinced or rather forced to sell his/her goods at the price quoted by the customer. (However, I must tell you; these sellers have a tendency to increase the prices by rocket high so as to reap higher profits).
Pujo time means hanging around with family and friends – eating out, totally relaxing, and most important breaking rules whenever and whereever you can. However by this, I meant to say, rising late from sleep, skipping your regular routine in life such as having lunch a bit late, or totally skipping the breakfast, etc, etc.
These 4 days of pujo brings lots of hopes and dreams and it’s an action time – to do the undone and to have the greatest fun and frolic.
Hope, this pujo brings more fun and happiness in our lives and more prosperity.
