Hi everybody. Now that I am trying to stage, sort of a comeback in this realm, after we returned to India, from USA. I am also side by side, lookingl for one or two pleas, for not writing blogs so long. However, among the causes there are (1) Jetlag (2) virus in computer (3) slow boroadband here in India, Cal. & (4) my own lackadaisical nature for which I feel really really sorry.
I would like to kickstart my strings of blog once again........... readers tolerating.
Yesterday night Google paid tribute to Freddie 'Queen' Mercury..... a Parsi-British singer with an animated Doodle to mark the 65th birth anniv of the lead singer of the famous band 'Queen' of the 1980 s. Freddie died in 1991 when he was just 45.
Today evening we saw Live Tv broadcast of the FIFA-sanctioned exhibition football match at Dhaka, Bangabandhu Stadium between Argentina & Nigeria. Arg. won 3--1. 2 Goals scored by Sergei Higuen.... courtesy superstar Lio Messi.... the 2nd goal reminded people of Maradona's famous goal against Eng. in "86 ..... Maradona in a solo run dribbled past 4 to 5 Eng. players & scored. Today also Messi dodged past 4 to 5 players chasing him (Messi) hot in the heel & pushing the ball towards goal.... the GK (goalkeeper) of Nigeria stretched his hand and Higuen who was rushing, got the ball loose & finished gratefully. The audience & the TV-viewers had their moments of ecstasy and the rich & the VIP spectators who bought Tkts @ Rs 5000/- & even more, got their money's worth.
West Beng. (Renamed Paschimbanga) had two airports so long. But, now the Coochbehar airport has re-opened after a long time & so now we have 3 airports in W.B i.e Paschimbanga. South Bengal & North Bengal are now well-connected by air & businessmen in Coochbehar are happy.
Vishwakarma Puja is in the offing.... it will be held on 18th september........normally it happens on 17th September. This is a prelude to Durga Puja. The durga Puja pandals are under construction in many places .... Theme Pujas will vie with each other & the Puja committee officials are however tight-lipped as to what may be their theme this year. Many are, however, free and frank and we already know the theme of many Pujas.
Saradiya literature or literature on the eve of the festival of Durga Puja is a part of Kolkata's culture and many Saradiya (festive) numbers are already out in the market containing writings of eminent novelists, poets and essayists & the hawkers in the News-stand are doing brisk business.
No more hot and humid days..... we are having some amount of rainfall from time to time ....... the sky is cloudy and the days are cool. The air has traces of moisture in it.
Puja marketing is about to pick up. Stock of Sarees, Ladies & Gents' garments plus children's wears is still
puller again, as in the earlier years.........Digha, Puri which are nearer destinations, seem to be full as far as hotels & guest houses r concerned.
