navratri, durga puja – the END
October 3, 2006

there’s this last glimpse. and then she’s gone, under water, after entertaining ALL who visited her during these 4 days, minting money for the ones who banked on her, blessing ALL who sought her (spiritually and selfishly)..
this part of bidding goodbye was always beyond my comprehension though. i used to cry when i was a kid. till this day i wrench in pain at the sight – her being thrown in the water, watching her getting disappeared slowly under the water. the END always paints the sadness, the cruel disposal; that’s the rule, i know. even for a goddess, there’s no way out..
i feel the sametitude with these guys – i am not sure whether this is the welcome or the farewell ‘biroho’. doesnt matter – the feeling is real, u know!
Subho bijoya to all of you…

Very nicely expressed first part. Nice video in the second. Unfortunately, could not hear the second part because speaker is not working.
