Ashtami 2023

Ashtami 22.10.2023

This is year Ashtami was my off day. 

Last night i.e. on 21.10.2023 i had my double duty.

This day was reserved for the Puja Pandal Hopping of Dumdum Park Area.

Evening started with my eV. 

Dumdum Park Tarun Dal 

The pandal hopping started from Dumdum Park Tarun Dal. 

"Ye lomba line" (A long line) with lots of over enthusiastic people pushing and pulling each others to get the glimpse of probably Maa Durga. 

Nah, to take selfies and videos for uploading in Facebook and Instagram. 

It's just to escape the FOMO😀.

But, we were lucky enough to get the VIP pass thereby bypassing the hackle of standing in the line.

Thanks to Krishanu Saha Da for gifting 🎁 it for us.

Here are some of the pics.😀

This year's theme was related to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and his fighting for freedom of India.

Almost everyone wants this. 

One more view 🪟

And the Maa Durga. 

The next destination was Dumdum Park Tarun Sangha.

After keeping our eV at place we proceeded further for our journey.

Theme was of Puppets 

That was the end of the day.

Shashti 2023 and SGIL Residenzza

Shashti 20.10.2023

A good started with a full day of off from office.

Evening was already booked for dinner at dada boudi's home at SGIL Residenzza near Airport. 

Our whole family will be having some time together after ages. Such rare occasions hardly happens just because of my engagements with my duties.

"Papi pet ke liye karna padhta hain..."

Evening started with the never ending struggle for booking of an Uber. 

Atlast baba was able to book an Uber Toto 🛺.

Me and Piyali went in our eV Hero Electric Optima LX, as we had an another plan to visit a Puja Pandal. 

So, Jijo alongwith Maa and Baba went directly to dada boudi's place. 

Visited Mall Pally Club Puja Pandal

📌This year's theme is Chapa khana (Printing Press)

📌This Dadu is the prime attraction. A silicon dummy.

📌 Files and Paper's everywhere. 

📌 What I observed in High Value Durga Puja Pandal's the  Durga Idol is the most neglected art. Most of the time people take multiple photos and videos of decorations and lightings, but the photo of Maa Durga gets a meager place in our and phones memories.

📌 After taking many takes and retakes. 

Now, we came to SGIL Residenzza after driving through some unknown routes and bypassing the jam and traffic ⛔ of airport. 

Then again some pandal hopping. 

📌 Present Generation 🎁. Aha! Not so interested 😔 with Pandal Hopping. 

📌  Joy Maa Durga..

📌 Three Generations..

📌 Dewrani & Jethani...

📌 Mee too moment of the day.

📌 Mahisasur is angry now.

📌 Durga Ji is angry too. Sorry ma'am 😔 if you ever came across this photo.

📌 SGIL Residenzza and some Bokeh Effect.

Dinner was equally sumptuous

🐠 Sorshe Ilish Bhapa.

🐐 Mutton curry.

🌳 Paneer.

Then me and Baba came back home in my eV exploring a new road. 

That was the end of the day.
