Post of Autumn!

Just seen the prolonged "debate" of two of my friends on the blog .. starting from a seemingly trivial issue .. and adding more colour to the blogger's life!

Have been trying to get accustomed to the new world I have been into, recently .. now seems that I have a grip on it.

Mumbai is talking about its Ganapati Utsav these days .. in the crowded trains, busy roads .. people have something in common .. a festive feeling .. that certainely I am going to miss in the very near future! I have been getting news of rain spoiling Bengalees' festive "mood"s.. at least shopping to start with .. can't believe that the Bengalees festive mood can be so easily dampened!

Anandabazar Patrika is doing its best to portray this mood by putting up the glimpses from Kumartuli and the 'city life'. And the emails from that part of the world is also carrying the 'smell' of the puja. The Bengali associations out of Bengal have become very active to show their organisational capabilites. In the middle of these, the white 'cyrrus' clouds coming from the east do make us nostalgic .. and a bit homesick, perhaps.
