Subho Bijaya everyone! I earnestly apologize for the post being published quite late on the 3rd day after Bijoya Dashami. The day seemed lachrymose for our fervent believers who could not contain the rolling of tears down their saddened cheeks and had to wipe them off every moment. But they comfort themselves with the thought of the return of Goddess Durga every year, the mother of all Hindu Goddesses. The people, mostly youngsters, accompany Goddess Durga to the immersion site with boisterous celebrations and incessant beating of drums and submerse her with shouts of "Durgs Maiki - Jay" which still keep reverberating through our ears. Atheists too, devote their time to experience the divine delight behind watching the "aratis" and observing all the pertinent décors of the Puja Pandals with their respective families and above all, the statue of Maa Durga. Doing "pranam" to our brass hats and "kolakuli" with our middlings are sine qua nons to Bijoya; fulfilling them is a bit tedious (frankly speaking!).
ADIEU Maa Durga and sayonara everyone!
