Durga Puja 2011

these are a few of my favorite things:
waking up to the beat of the dhak in the morning,
watching the entire process of the morning anjali,
the familiar smell of the afternoon bhog,
sweating uncontrollably in the traffic,
the blaring of horns,
and the multitude of cars,
and even more the count of faces and feets on the streets,
the sound of laughter,
prayers, conversations,
and going to sleep looking at the fairy lights, the light stands, the bulbs, the light lined buildings, and the lovely glow around.

and then comes,
a crimson red goodbye,
a floating mirror on the water,
a few tears,
and a whole new year to look forward to..
aashche bochor aabar hobe !!
