Feels like a job well done :). Boi-mela has manifested quite certainly. However, I am glad that we let Maidan be. For the love of it, it certainly is for greater good. Maidan truly are the lungs of the city, which we trample with disdain ! <br /><br />You are right, by the same token Kali puja has magnified quite a bit. <br /><br />Irrelevant may be but sadly though so has the underbelly of the city. Reminds me of Travis Brickle's words from the Martin Scorsese classic "Taxidriver" - All the animals come out at night - whores, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Someday a real rain will come and wash all this scum off the streets" !theconservativefoodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11743785380726669134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7227049443203118838.post-42139759732751713882011-01-30T11:45:02.108-08:002011-01-30T11:45:02.108-08:00Thanks so much for the the great write up and the ...Thanks so much for the the great write up and the wonderful pictures, Vineet! You certainly have tugged at my heartstrings.... wish I could say "I'm leaving, on a jet plane.." right away to go visit the fair. I loved visiting it when I lived in Cal, when the maidan used to be the venue, and stalls were limited to books and food. Looks like it's manifested itself into a mega event now, though, just like everything else! When we were in Cal last I was astonished to see how big Kali Puja had become (not having been in Cal during the pujas in some 15 odd years), with pandals, lights, music and the works. I remembered it as mostly a puja celebrated in the confines of one's home or in temples. More the merrier, I guess.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212239824658718324noreply@blogger.com
