Some glances of Durga Puja '11

Durga Puja is known to be the most attractive and biggest festival of the Bengali. There are so many stories in the ancient history related to how and why this festival started and when for the first time. For the non- Bengali readers I must mention that for most of the Bengali, this festival is the most cherished and awaited one. This starts with Mahalaya and ends with Bijoya Dashami. The body of the Goddess are made by clay and the structure under it is usually made of woods. Here are some snaps of different sculptures..






The trend here is, many small or big organisations are there who make big pandals for celebrating this festival. Some pandals show the ancient  sculpture, some tell us the ancient stories of different matters ans some show any events. Have a look :

A trumpeter made m=by Jute.. 

Soldiers made by Jute..

King on the back of an Elephant again made by Jute..

People make this just for four days of celebration.. These acute decorations become famous but we don't really appreciate enough the people who made this possible.

Potter made of clay..
Doesn't he look like a real man?? So Perfect and flawless..
Decoation..
This decoration is also so unique, made of hundreds of clay pots..

Chandelier..
Sooooooo gorgeous...

Last year I didn't take too much photos.. But this year I promise to take much more pics and definitely share with everyone....

First attempt to food photography...

As I have already shared that yesterday there was Manosha puja at our house. Now-a-days photography has become a habit of mine and I almost don't miss any chance to shoot an interesting thing. Moreover, ordinary things also seem to me to be so charming.Anyway, sharing some pics with all of you. :-) :-) Hope you like!!! :-) :-)

Manosha puja @ our home

Manosha puja, a ritual's been continuing since my grandma was alive. She died 20 years ago and since then, mamma has been doing with utmost respect and sincerity. People from the whole locality come to our place to reach God, to pray to the Goddess, to feel the calm and pleasant atmosphere during the prayer.Here are some pictures I took that time..

Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake - Lyrics

Song : Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake
Singer : Ustad Rashid Ali Khan
Movie : Charulata 2011

Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake,(2)
Dukho dite paro..(2)
Dukho paoya tomay paoya,
Nijer kore aro..
Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake,(2)
Dukho dite paro..(2)
Dukho paoya tomay paoya,
Nijer kore aro..

Ekta jhora, patay dio, amar bishonnota,
Ektu adhar, ekla kada, ekta duto kotha..
Ja tomay hoyni bola,(2)
Proshno chai taro..
Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake..(2)

Gaan ke ami, muthoy kore, chhoriye dilam dure,
Kichhuta hok, akashe megh, kichhu ure ure..
Hoyto hobe ekfota jol,(2)
Ja hoyna karo..
Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake,(2)
Dukho dite paro..(2)
Dukho paoya tomay paoya,(2)
Nijer kore aro..
Jodi ar kichhu na deyar thake..(2)

Ratri by pota - Lyrics

Song : Ratri
Singer : Pota
Album : Sadakalo
Band : Morudyan

Hothat jakhon sondhya neme ashe,
Akash pane chand muchki hashe..
Adhar jakhon gobhir hote chay,
Somoy jakhon emni e boye jai..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..(2)

Sokal abar ashbe jani kal,
Durer akash porbe sindur lal..
Sei akashe nei re kintu chand,
Sei akashe nei re mayar fand..
Dinke jakhon sobai bhalobashe,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar pashe..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..

Ratri bela swapno dekhi ami,
Ratri bela adhar jole nami..
Ratri bela bahir pane chai,
Ratri bela tepantore jai..
Ratri bela morme baje gaan,
Ratri bela rokte ashe baan..
Ratri tumi mon chashider khamar,
Ratri tumi amar sudhu amar..
Dinke jakhon sobai bhalobashe,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar pashe..
Nijer ghore nibhiye bati,
Ratri ami thakbo tomar sathi..
