The Eyes of Women Power
Hi Friends...
Finally, we all have landed on
the 10th month of the year 2020 and the festive vibes are
blooming around amidst the fatal outbreak. Life seemed to be on standstill
situation but slowly & safely we have shifted our focus once again to the
normal circadian rhythm. The colors and mood of celebrations are
drizzling around to conceal the gloomy emotions of sluggish life with tint of
love & delight. Although the occasions will have a comprehensive change in
its outlook, the spirit within will still remain identical.
The grand happening for which we
all; especially Bengalis, eagerly wait for is on its way to begin. Yes- the
heartfelt “DURGA PUJA”. The mythological significance of this carnival
is the victory of truth & peace over devil and on a broader prospect, it
symbolizes the supreme power and divine faith on Womanhood. The episodes of
celebration are blended with ethnic attires, mixed cuisines, hangouts and
garnished with cultural nights.
In Bengali culture, the last 4 days of
Durga Puja followed by Dussehra/Dashami is immensely momentous. The day
commences with draping of traditional outfits, preparation of prayers,
arrangements of Bhog (freshly prepared from rice, pulses & veggies)
followed by outings with friends/family and finally the much waited
aesthetic folk events. The fragrance of flowers, essence of decorations and the
ethos of family bond engulfs the mind with contentment. Jotting down the
sentiments is too tough & words seem to be deficit.
Indeed a new chapter is paving the path and this year will be scribbled as one of the memorable ones in treasures of life. Hope the immense power of Durga Devi pulls mankind back to normalcy and the soggy life breathes fresh again.
Happy Durga Puja Ma'am...Very nice
