And the season of festivals begin...:)

The smell in the air, the urgency in the walk of  pedestrians, the happy smiles on the faces of shoppers on getting the best buy. Even when you are stuck in a traffic jam, there is an indulgent smile and a remark that this jams will be there till Pujas. While moving around the city in every other lane, you find a pandal in the making- a half made marble place, a hut and hundreds of other creations which leaves you baffled and builds up your anticipation, as to what will  the final outcome be like?. The other day, when we were driving around the city, a friend remarked that she loves the fragrance  of "Palash" flowers in the air during the Puja Season which made me realize that I was thinking the same thing and enjoying the fragrance. Everyone loves this feeling that Durga Maa is coming and bringing loads of joy and smiles for all of us. So much so that we forget every worry and  revel in the moment and find it difficult to bid farewell to Maa at the end of the auspicious 9 days.

May Maa bless you
with all her blessings and
keep you happy through-out the year!
Wishing you a Happy Durga Puja
