Pandals are not allowed to sell VIP tickets. Suvendu has asked the police to see that puja committees can't raise fund by selling VIP tickets.

Then he went ahead and allowed Adani and other conglomerates to sell passes. I mean even Flipkart Minutes sold pass this year.

Isn't this epic hyprocrisy ?

Essential Durga Pujo Re-watch :) Revisiting this movie every time just makes it better

অসাধারণ মূর্তি। মনে হয় যেন সারাজীবন বসে শুধু তাকিয়ে থাকি। Also, শুভ মহাসপ্তমী সবাইকে! আগামী ৪-৫ দিন যেন সবার ভালো কাটে, সুস্থ কাটে। 🤍

We were one of those unlucky ones who happen to stay close to a mega puja (this is Tridhara from our window). Our life has come to a complete standstill. We cannot have medicines or essentials delivered, nor can we go out to buy things without getting stopped at every road corner. The police are completely untrained and don’t pay heed to residents pass. And then people blowing the annoying vuvuzela’s. So as you have fun, have a little empathy, spare a thought to all the octogenarians and nonagenarians who are now the principal inhabitants of this part of Kolkata.

Politely i ask for no responses in Indian languages as I am a white person who found a photo of a family who lived in West Bengal, India on the ground of a Canadian comic shop in British Columbia nearby my house. Feel free to share it around to friends & family I'd like to send it to the next of kin (which means family) if possible. P.S. i will ONLY provide un-redacted version via PM as I don't want to publicly doxx them in case any of the family still lives at the same address.

একটা ড্রেস গিফট করেছি সিসি এর max থেকে কিনে। পরে ঠাকুর দেখতে যাবার প্ল্যান আছে।

সকাল ৯টায় জানতে পেরে যতটা সম্ভব করলাম। পরের বছর আরেকটু ভালো কিছু করার ট্রাই করব।

Amar boyesh 18 bochor. Ei amar chotobelar 18 bochore ak bar oo amra, as a family konodin thakur dekhte beroi ni, ebar oo berobo na.

Ebar ager bochor my girlfriend couldn't eventually make it and this year too she's gone on a trip to North Bengal with her family and umm I'm alone, all alone.

Ager bochor prothom bar bondhuder sathe beriyechilam. Mojar byapar holo, je bondhuder sathe beriyechilam, tarai amay ebar dakte bhule gache (they're good friends but yeah they forgot), kal ee beriyechilo.

Amar ma ar dida beriyechilo sokal bela but it's more babysitting my dida than actually enjoying the puja. They could only go to 3 pandals (local, limited bhir) in 5 hours and spent the rest simply sitting, shopping, etc.

Aka oo berote parchina because I'm in my drop year, berolei baba bolbe somoy noshto korchis.

Etai jibon amar :)

Sorry for the rant, and I truly hope you guys are having an amazing puja ✨
