আশ্বিনের শারদপ্রাতে বেজে উঠেছে আলোক-মঞ্জীর;

ধরণীর বহিরাকাশে অন্তরিত মেঘমালা;

প্রকৃতির অন্তরাকাশে জাগরিত জ্যোতির্ময়ী জগন্মাতার আগমন বার্তা।

আনন্দময়ী মহামায়ার পদধ্বনি অসীম ছন্দে বেজে উঠে রূপলোক ও রসলোকে আনে নব ভাবমাধুরীর সঞ্জীবন।

তাই আনন্দিতা শ্যামলীমাতৃকার চিন্ময়ীকে মৃণ্ময়ীতে আবাহন।

আজ চিৎ-শক্তিরূপিনী বিশ্বজননীর শারদ-স্মৃতিমণ্ডিতা প্রতিমা মন্দিরে মন্দিরে ধ্যানবোধিতা।

এবার মা দুর্গার কাছে এই প্রার্থনা... অভয়া যেন বিচার পায় 🙏🏻

সকল কে জানাই, শুভ মহামায়া 🌺🪔

OH HOW I MISS PUJO IN MY OWN COUNTRY ngl, the restrictions and bans are so high this year I don't think it's going to be pujo anyways!

Dear Calcutta,

রাত পোহালেই মহালয়া।

I can imagine how gorgeous you look right now. All decked up in the yellow fairy lights, the pujo sale at the shopping malls, people hustling and bustling to gather things for the pandals.

I am not at home this time. I'm miles away from you, in a completely different time zone at that. And it scares me. I had never thought I would live to see a day where I won't wake up at the soft sound of আশ্বিনের শারদঃপ্রাতে lingering in the misty morning air from the loudspeaker at the end of my alleyway.

My earliest recollection of mahalaya is my 7 year old self forcing my father to wake me up at 4 am, struggling to stay awake and falling asleep halfway through it. Waking up at 10 only to find out that I fell asleep and then yell at my father for not stopping me.

It all seems like a distant memory now. Some would say it makes a good story for the dinner table. But for me, it feels like home. I left a fragment of my heart with you when I moved out. Calcutta, it still beats in the same narrow alley in the heart of the city.

My mother once told me, "Never be so attached to something that you forget to live your life because of it". But how exactly do I live my life when I've only ever felt alive with you?

You have a weird scent, Calcutta. It wafts my nose everytime I breathe in your air. I miss it everytime I am away from you. Calcutta, you've taught me many things about growing up. And now I miss being a kid with you.

You know how they say home is where your heart is? Calcutta, you've been my home even before I had learnt what the word actually meant.

It terrifies just how fast time flew and my life got divided into befores and afters when only yesterday I was 10, skipping down the road in my new yellow sundress for অষ্টমীর অঞ্জলি.

I know you taught me that I can make a home out of any place as long as I want to, Calcutta. But they would still dim in front of you. You can rival the sun with how bright you burn. Nowhere else will I find a second you. You are my home, Calcutta. And you will forever and always be my home. No matter who or where I am.

On this auspicious day of mahalaya, I miss you terribly. And I hope you know, that I will be back. One day. I regret leaving you. But I promise one day I will not have to walk away from you anymore.

দেখ আলোয় আলো আকাশ

দেখ আকাশ তারায় ভরা

দেখ যাওয়ার পথের পাশে

ছোটে হাওয়া পাগল পারা

এত আনন্দ আয়োজন

সবই বৃথা আমায় ছাড়া।

आज के इस पावन दिन की अनेक अनेक शुभ कामनाएँ , स्नेह आदर 🚩🚩

शुभ मंगल हो आपका दिन ❤️❤️🚩

Greetings on this divine day .. happy Navratri 🌹

an entire day in the device recognition so that the video comes up, in the Shlok sung by me on this auspicious occasion ..

in Bengal .. 'Mahalaya' .. and the emergence of Goddess Durga from the waters .. and the prayers early morning .. a routine followed by all Bengali homes ..

Divinity has such a deep connect .. the opening strains of the music transport one into the mode of religiosity .. thoughts begin to ramble up towards the grace of the Almighty , to his or her presence and what they mean to all of us .. and the interest in the desire to learn or find out why the imagery was structured so and the reason and stories behind .. fascinating all this ..

BUt for this is needed the time patience and the respect to ongoing work and its commitment .. one can sacrifice time but not the commit of schedule .. for it does not just affect one but several ..

In its severalty does the World exist today .. to some one to others another and on .. and the dispersion of this does become awkward to say the least .. belief ingrained in us from the tim of birth is the reason and main cause of its longevity ..

when in doubt - BELIEF .. !

" it was destined "...

"My karma is the responsible party " ..

" I wish and the Almighty disposes .."

"Leave it to him/her .. "

" they shall guide us to our good ... "

and on ..

and the data bank - the Largest Data Bank in the World - shall bring up and provide the eventual questions and answers ..

the BRAIN ..

they say the element of DATA never dies .. and in our modern living they refer to it often in its technological manifestation ..

yes but what does happen to it at the time of its perishing .. in the flames , in the depths of the Earth on burial .. in the depths of the waters of the Universe .. !!!

wonder and debate be pronounced

and the question from one such that visited our Saptaswar :

"does music have a gender " ??

Birthday - EF Kris Ayer Friday, 4 October ... greetings from the Ef family .. happiness ❤️
