....Um...Sorry Cant seem to get it pasted here!(kick me if I know Why?)....So here's some nice pics for that!
Its just that this day which attracts each and every BENGALI, no matter where they are on this day!
I love this day, I have always loved it but I understand this even more today when I am far from home and it makes me long for my sweet Bengal even more, for with all its problems, it still remains the sweetest place on earth, the place which brought cascades of dreams in the eyes of its myriad poets and song writers, the ethnicity, the varied and sweet tempered climates, the cool shadows and the most wondrous of all races created by the All mighty resides here, the Bengali,
the subtly romantic,with his razor sharp intellect, yet occasional naiveness, with his almost effeminate love of everything pretty which masks the uncommon strength both physical and moral, his staunch ideologies countered with his argumentative attitudes which leaves no place for prejudices in his heart.
The only race in India who keeps the old thoughts closely guarded in the recesses of his heart yet is the leader in accepting new ideologies in this world of globalization, the stock which breeds the most atheists and agnostics in the staunchly Religious minded Indian system yet have a special closeness to their patron deities, otherwise which people can consider themselves to be actual children of their MAA KAALI? We act as knight errants, and protectors of that goddess Durga who single handedly destroys all evil in the World. How bolder can you get than that?
Do not believe me? place one misplaced word about our very own MAA DURGA in front of a Bengali and see how he reacts? So this strange lot is going to celebrate their new year today.
Today they shall dream such dreams that no one else imagine dreaming and take vows no one can even begin to perceive.
They shall sing their hearts out in the sweetest tongues ever created by mankind, the Bangla Bhasha, and they shall wish all, whether known or unknown, friend or foe to have a wonderful year ahead and they shall be very serious about it and mean it!
Each Bengali are a gastronomic Mogul and nothing ends without some wonderful food!
Luchi, the ultimate! but Luchi is half without...
Alur Dom!Once breakfast is over Lunch comes Fast!
modern Bengali cuisine a World class Cuisine System and as served in some internationally famous restaurants.......but nothing beats Home...
We Bengalis are like a river, we always flow, never stand still, as flexible and yet as powerful, we are easily led but handle us foolishly and we are unstoppable.....
But We are After All Forces Of Good and Believe Loving All! So...
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The author has done a wonderful job writting this spectacular article on this Auspicious Day. I can bet that every pair of spectacles(since it has become synonymous with the Bengalees along with dhoti and punjabi)going through this article would get lost for sometime evaluating the truth of their very nature of being a like a river and thinking about their inherent genius that sleeps most of the time wearing the rapper of reticent.
ReplyDeleteEvery Bengalee child born with a subtle sublimity, which is adorn by the quality of forgiveness, making him more compassionate to this earthly life which most of the time is being misundrstood by rest of the world as a sign of lacking confidence.
I am a Bengalee and I was compelled to think about these things by the sincere efforts of this Blogger and my resolution for this year would be encouraging persons like him in their endeavor to redifine the "BANGALEEANA"
