Waking up one last time to the sound of the dhaks playing, before the agonizing wait of a year starts.

বিদায়বেলা

Maa will leave for Kailash again. Pujo is over. Once again the pandal will sit empty, the stage will be strewn with dried flower petals and shindur.

There is one lamp still lit in the dark empty pandal. The echoes of tear stained smiles and dhunuchi smoke still resonant in the flame....The flame of our wait for Uma's return.

বিদায়বেলা এসে গেল। এবার উমা ফিরে যাবে। পড়ে থাকবে ফাঁকা প্যান্ডেল, শুকনো পুজোর ফুল ছড়ানো বেদী, লোকের পায়ে পায়ে ঘোরা সিঁদুর খেলার গল্প।

পুজো শেষে অন্ধকার, ধুনুচির গন্ধ আর অশ্রুসিক্ত হাসি মাখা প্যান্ডেল এ একটা প্রদীপ জ্বলে.... এক বছরের অপেক্ষার প্রতীক হয়ে সারা রাত জ্বলে।

The bittersweetness of Dashami amazes me. People dance to dhaak. The married women in a graceful sway decked up mostly in red while the youngsters go wild dancing. There is lot of laughter all around. The smoke from dhunuchis as the dhunuchi dancers weave patterns out of smoke by deftly turning their hands. But every now and then people look up at Maa and realise that she will leave. Many families also look longingly towards their Uma who will also return to their workplace or own house. This Uma resides in every child who returns home during Pujo.

The crowds erupt in cries of 'BOLO DUGGA MAI KI....JOYYYY' and 'ASHCHHE BOCHHOR ABAR HOBE, BACHHAR BACHHAR ABAR HOBE' as Maa and her children are lifted onto the trucks. Now she will leave for the immersion. The tear stained smiles seem to reflect on the idols' face. But the dance and the dhaak continues.

Finally the truck carrying Maa bends round the last corner and out of our sights. The emptiness finally hits. It feels like a sudden absence of a warm embrace.

But Maa leaves with the promise of returning. And she keeps her promise every single year. And what is love without some waiting?

Uma will come back home again. Uma will bring light again.

Ashchhe bochhor abar hobe. Bochhor bochhor abar hobe.

শুভ বিজয়া

Maa Durga

I was sitting at the pandal a little sad cause bhashan was in a few hours, and suddenly my poetic ass got inspired by the atmosphere, so here's a tribute to the divine goddess. Hope y'all like it.

A smokey haze of burnt charcoal drifts up,

Distorting the godly image,

As the sound of drums and laughter fill the air,

A last merry moment before the imposing figure of maa hits the water.

Grinning children full of energy running around,

One more time, before their imaginations know bounds again.

Women in red and white bid the goddess farewell,

With streaks of vermillion on their smiling faces.

Destroyer of evil, strongest of them all, and yet in all her rage,

She appears as a loving mother.

She stands a leader for women around the globe:

With a deadly weapon in each of her ten hands.

There is nothing women can't do,

Her words are silent yet heard so loud,

Her feet on a lion's back as she viciously drives her trishul

Through the demon's heart.

Women lead the world, Laxmi says,

With their economic prowess and natural beauty.

Be wise, Saraswati advises,

Explore the world and let curiosity lead you,

For the people recognize those, who know, what they don't.

It is a long year to wait for these five days,

Which are priceless in every Bengali's heart.

Aschhe bochhor abar hobe,

Maa er shonge dekha.
