From the President's Desk
While I was going through my last year's message, hosted in our website, I suddenly
felt that 33rd Durga Puja is knocking at the door and I have not yet prepared
my message for 2011 in spite of severe requests from Rumku. The shops and
establishments are continuously managing the customers with their new products
and it has become very difficult to walk along the footpaths adjacent to Megha
Mallar. The hue and cry sings the song that "Pujo ese gelo". The count down in
different TV channels percolate the signal that we have to finish all pending work
before Ma Durga makes her long awaited entry into our complex for the 33rd year.
The daily newspapers have started describing the comparison between Theme
and Tradition associated with different Pujas. For our own Puja - it is really a long
duration of 12,045 days.
Personally I am not in favour of 'Paribartan' rather a rigorous supporter of 'Tradition'. My focus is directed more towards the family bondage and how a strong bondage could be achieved without the involvement of Ma Durga? I take this opportunity to spread the message to each and every one residing outside Megha Mallar, particularly abroad to make utmost effort to come to their sweet home during the Durga Puja to share the joyous moments with their families, parents, friends, neighbours - all in Megha Mallar. The isolation, melancholy, illness, sorrow - all could be set aside at least for the Puja days by such family bondage. The little boys and girls being tired by carrying large bags and appearing at the unit tests become very much delighted with the blooming of 'Kash phool' and also with the construction of roadside pandals and idols in specialized areas. So it is our duty to keep all these faces smiling so that they can enjoy the festival without any anxiety.
It is very well known that compared to the last year, there has been a phenomenal increase in the prices of all commodities. It had also been a tradition that our friends residing outside Kolkata had made significant special contribution for the organization of our Durga Puja and I take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to all of them. I now again appeal to all my friends to make special donations for the organization of Durga Puja 2011 so that our biggest autumn festival could be organized in the most befitting "Megha Mallar" manner even in the era of exorbitant price hike. Participation - from all corners, all cross section of people is the only foundation behind the success of Durga Puja and as such I earnestly request all of you to come forward to lend your helping hand to us so that we can keep the flag of Megha Mallar flying for ever with the blessings of All Mighty Ma Durga. We can forget all our hard relations by taking the "Khichuri bhog" side by side with reverberation of 'Balo balo Durga Mai ki joy'. Can we think of any better evening without the distribution of "Luchi- halua- naru" in the midst of "Dhyang kur kur dhyang kur kur"? So get set ready - 2nd October 2011 is not far behind
