Durga Idol worshipped by Zamindar Family through years
It's Durga Puja...The well known biggest festive season in West Bengal.,now a days,Paschimbanga. This year too it was wonderful. It was delightful and different from past years Durga Puja.I went along my friends and checked out some unique puja mandap themes and idols in different style and shape. We hovered all around Kolkata and Howrah. It was not like old days,when I used to go with Papa and Maa,holding their fingers, though I missed those days this festival season. I can remember that I used to be a naughty child and always in a hurry to release my hands and run here and there among the crowd and let them find me. I guess, I was always in a playful mood. But not this time,as I went with my friends on bike and hovered the whole city gazing at pandals, idols and people wearing different types of clothes,from different places,with different nature,different style,but having a common spirit to enjoy Durga Puja.              The best part of Durga Puja is that people come from all over the world to experience this festive season.Durga Puja is mere begining,as after this West Bengal will experience Lakkhi Puja, Deepawali, Jagdhatri Puja and the final destination will be Chath Puja. I will definately blog about all these festivals and my experiences about them,stick to my blog for the latest ones.

India, donate in support to Wikipedia today to serve you free for years to come

On Monday, today, on an auspicious day of Rakhi Purnima  aka Rakshabandhan and  also the last Somwar (Monday)  of the auspicious month of sawan in 2020 for us Hindus, I was seeking for some information and opened up Wikipedia. I saw this message on top of the webpage. What caught my attention was the blue background (unfamiliar User interface than that of the website) and the popped up message requesting to all users from India. Wikipedia is humbly asking we Indians to donate in support of their initiative of ad-free service for years to come. We, the Indians, should join our hands in this donation initiative ignoring that even Wikipedia is not correct all the times.

Do's and Don'ts of selecting the right type of face mask for Corona Virus Covid 19 protection

The deadly Covid 19 or Corona Virus we all know about is evolving day by day, so should be our (humans) tactics for protection from it. Do you know, which type of face mask protects you better from Corona Virus? If not, you are in the right place as I am going to share the photographs I took while on a visit to an OPD (Out-Patients Department) of one the leading hospitals in Kolkata. Just after entering the hospital OPD as soon as I moved towards the lift, there was a paper printed image showing the do's and don'ts while selecting the right type of mask for full protection from Covid 19 Corona Virus. Without further adieu, let us see and understand from the image itself. The facial masks with air filters is a strict no-no whereas any face mask without an air filter is right choice for better protection & prevention of Corona Virus Covid 19. Just make sure it covers up widely & perfectly. Please spread this message with others, as it can save several lives. T...
