Maha Saptami

    Yes, it's the 1^st day of the Durga Puja '09! A dreary morning it was with only a few people occupying the Puja marquee. With my friend, I reported there by noon; only to see ten or eleven people lazily occupying the chairs and chatting with each other. Competitions and programmes were conducted at night (although I could not devote much time to watch all those "spectacles"). At night I went to see the "pujas" at Mahananda, Sanhati More and many others. Unlike all other years, this year's Saptami was not that interesting; moreover, I was amazed to see the Puja Mandap having a paucity of "devotees" on which day? That too the25^th of September, Saptami!    

This post didn't flow swiftly as such, isn't it? Yes, I could not acquire much things to tell you but I indited what struck my mind.

Waiting to see the Mandap teeming with people on the 26^th, Mahastami or Maha Astami.
