....troubled times in Homeland 1.....!!!!

.........the Holy months are mired with incessant news frm Homeland 1 of the establishments there.....!!...having homes in NCR(National Capital Region)....one cant escape frm all news pouring ......I saw Gurgaon coming up.......& the evils that was ushered in addition to the Development of the NCR...this is a city where a Rickshaw driver of modest means would talk of lakhs & crores...I mean the 'Realty' is so infectious here that all strata of the society is affected....this is in addition to the utter flamboyance of wealth of the Novoeau Riche bereft of any proper education or background.....I have visited few schools there & the young fledgling gentry of students are in no way unaffected....so its no wonder that news start percolating regularly of acts of Omissions & Commissions,....since we are a society we cant escape frm any fall out or change...however apathetic one's attitude is one cant deny the sweeping changes of Gentelemanliness, Morality & Conduct.....never was the Establishment so brazen & insensitive as it is of today....the Immature & Myopic views are a laughing stock now ....for full year the Civil Society & Establishment locked horns....in fact its a foolish theory doing the rounds that Civil society or any other pressure group is different frm the political establishment.....its a joke when the print media or electronic whatsoever for the umpteenth time refers to Arvind Kejriwal as politician Arvind Kejriwal...in fact all Citizens are politicians whoever is an eligible voter capable of  putting a thought in the political process of governing the country....in the form of casting his  or her vote......the concept of fissiparous  thought of separate entities of Democracy is flawed....when will our Citizenry be more mature....is a matter of time......India is blessed with a huge landmass of great productivity since times immemorial.....with a huge Human Resource there is no dearth of talent or means....we all need to put in  or chip in with our efforts however small it is...& stop looking at someone to deliver....!!!!!!

.......Ma Durga's Arrival....

.......Morrtay asetechhen Ma....Dukhkho horon Koritay....Ma has arrived....Mahalaya will reverberate in "Indian Ocean Heights" from now on.....we r all up beat....!!!! ...the Puja Marketing just concluded or may be will extend...with me going for it last...just as it happened to my Late Father....one month before Mahalaya we used to arrive in KOLKATA by 8Dn Toofan Exp.with as much thrill  our Little hearts  could hold......!!.....two full days of whirlwind shopping .....close encounter with the maddening PrePuja rush.....the eateries, the theaters nd the Bus & Tram rides....we used to follow up ritualistically...with our parents marshalling us....Sasthi will be a new dress so will be Saptami,Astami nd Navami...and Bijoya Dasami being repeat of the dress worn in sasthi Day....!!!..the Bus & Tram rides were scary nd adventurous in one breath but the seldom Taxi Rides were momentous....the return 6 hr Journey back to Hometown was one of deep satisfaction nd excitement....the adequate DP vacation ...the dew clad fields nd flower collection early morning were routine with occasional football practice in the dew with a slippery laced Futbol which needed extra care to be greased nd maintained for the moisture it soaked....then there were frequent trips to Pandals under construction....such was the abundant resignation ...which is unparallel till date.....with the advent of the Puja barshikis   .....there were lot of hectic activities in reading also to be done.....then the Puja music albums in the form of EP & LP records were an added attraction.....but the best part was the dishes churned out from MaMoni's Kitchen...with the sisters chipping in.....Bijoya Dashami would prove how popular my Father was with host many employees coming to meet us nd Ma had to service full 1week past Dasami...Durga 
puja Festivities were a fillip to our studentship in that we went back to hostels fully recharged......!!!!!!
