....the rains r more freq now ....as Mahalaya ushers in .... Devi Ma Durga : Durgotinashini....as festivities will engulf us despite being away frm home....we will soak into it every moment , with superlative Connectivity, we won't be left behind....its time to reconnect, share our experiences....for the Bengali, effectively this the New begining to the yr.....as Old will be discarded especially Clothes, nd New welcomed .....as Birendra Krishna Bhadro's Voice Crackled thru the early dawn of his immortal rendition of "MahishaSur Mardini", invoking Mother Goddess Durga .....a thrill runs down the spine ....of a Conditioned reflex so very well nurtured for ages ....yes this is the 8th decade of MahishaSur Mardini rendition spanning a milieu of host many a generation in the eastern Board of the Country ....Immortalised : No Puja is complete without Listening to Birendra Krishno Bhodro's MahishasurMardini .....this is my talk , backed up by experiences of the formative yrs of last Century....my Children of this century , though exposed to our Culture , yet won't understand much......the dew clad fields of Mahalaya nd 'Shiuli' flowers strewn in the garden, they r yet to experience these....the mad rush to arrange drapes for the whole fmly for all the five days of Pujan , the overactivity in Ma's Kitchen as she wud spin her culinary magic in the Puja days ....a far cry here .....so much to Modernity .....sacrificed at the altar of modern times , scattered nd strewn thru out the world , tenaciously though , clinging to the Heart tht was Left behind .....!!!!
