From the time of my birth Kolkata has been my hometown and I got many opportunities to see it very very closely and know her by heart. Durga Puja in kolkata is always a beautiful experience for the residents as well as tourists...The most beautiful concept that touched my heart was, here Bengalis dont treat Goddesh Durga as someone divine but as a daughter....It is believed that Uma comes every year all the way from Kailash to her Parents place..Dashami is the day when she returns with her children to her in laws place....May be some of my readers may think it as silly but let me tell you..I have seen women crying while they see the idol is being taken for immersion....just like a mother cries when her daughter leaves for her in laws place....This concept had always touched my heart to the core and solidifies my belief that no matter how much we all get modernized and techno oriented, our very base-our culture, love , affection will always be the most needed aspect in our lives...
