Puja Days...

Right then...didn't get around here much because I had mamma (mum in law) staying with me for the past few days. I started the week excited about Durga Puja festivities but ended up kind of miserable. Nope don't want to talk (write) much about it. But lets just say, like all disappointments, this too didn't last and I am back to my usual self now!

I did visit the local pandal and eat some nice yummy home made biryani at the "Ananda Mela" which marks the beginning of the Puja celebrations on the sixth day of the navratras. On Saptami (the seventh day) I revisited the pandal to give "anjali" to the Goddess and on Ashtami (the eighth day) Rajiv was sweet enough to drive me to another near by Puja Pandal...this one has food stalls outside the main pandal and I got to have my favorite "chicken rolls" :) ...

Memories of bygone Puja celebrations made me very nostalgic and in comparison, this year was probably one of the most subdued pujas for me. One really needs family and friends around in times like these.

Well maybe next year.

Today's a crucial day for Rajiv at work, so the day started quite early for us. Vedant thankfully has holidays till the 14th. err....did I just say 'thankfully'?? :P It gets chaotic with him around the house. He just can't sit still unless his fav show is on...but then I've severely cut down his TV viewing now! He can't keep quiet even if he wants to!!! He forgets all about lil baby here...who wakes up startled by all the excitement around :D

So yes I'm going to be quite hassled the days that he's home. Maybe another longish gap once I get done with this post...errr...if I get done!!!

Mala's the only one who took up the tag :). I know Suchi's got hers saved in drafts...still! No time to post coz she's was busy with looootttss of work last week and the Pujas this week and now poor thing's down with a terrible cold and fever!! (she should be dropping by later this evening). Now Uttsy and John... w'sup with u guys??

That's it for now. Happy weekend ppl. I already know mine's gonna be busy busy busy!

::: The song's a bengali song "Poulomi" ... guy's singing about a girl by the same name he fell in love with (but obviously) ... how they met, the resistance to their love, their getting together, the pa's interference in their married life and eventual break up....hmmmm...a whole story in a rather short song huh!! Heard it wayyy back...suddenly remembered and was humming it earlier in the day. Rajbir and Suchi would understand the lyrics...and any other bengali speaking person who happens to get this blog :P
