However, it is significant to acknowledge the livelihood that is created around these 4 days of festivity. This can be seen specially among "Dhakis", idol makers, pandal makers, illuminators etc. Majority of whom are in their respective businesses in spite of possible yearlong loss only to breakeven during these 4 days. It is true that the 500-1000 Cr if channelised for development work may have gained some mileage, but this is the choice 2 Cr Bengalis have made to rejuvenate oneself in these 4 days to face the year ahead .Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116925986733218508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127740.post-79389650590270068502010-08-20T15:26:43.980+05:302010-08-20T15:26:43.980+05:30Well Mitali what you said is correct,but the Bong...Well Mitali what you said is correct,but the Bongs in the world didnt loose the spirit of the Puja!!!!<br />-------------------<br /><a href="http://www.sangamgrouphotels.com" rel="nofollow">Kanyakumari Hotels</a>Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08716560558780459145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2127740.post-18954667345314994982008-10-13T09:45:00.000+05:302008-10-13T09:45:00.000+05:30I agree with you completely, Durga Puja is no long...I agree with you completely, Durga Puja is no longer what it use to be in our younger days. The simplicity and dedication for the mother goddess is missing, what takes it place is one-up-manship and showbaji (until now reserved for a few up north in Delhi!!!). Sad but true......... we have not been able to give our children the completely innocent 5 fun filled days of pujo that our parents gave us!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
