Your post Prufrock, just made things very difficult for me this time, because after reading this I want to go to Kolkata during this pujo more than ever, I can't be patient and understanding anymore :)Soma Ghoshhttp://somaghosh.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-3835304723122560392010-10-06T01:43:50.665+05:302010-10-06T01:43:50.665+05:30part* :)part* :)Dipayannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-68352320096141595842010-10-06T01:42:46.317+05:302010-10-06T01:42:46.317+05:30nice post, didn't know about the 'baroyaar...nice post, didn't know about the 'baroyaari' pasrt :)<br />This was a great read!!!!!!Dipayannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11411104.post-37138482752050536322010-10-05T15:00:50.855+05:302010-10-05T15:00:50.855+05:30I don't know about you, JAP, but unlike my par...I don't know about you, JAP, but unlike my parents or even the husband these days, I find I love the city most during the Puja.
