| Kash Phool |
Ah-Kash! The appearance of Kans grass, Kash Phool (in Bengali)
feels heavenly, not only because it so lovely, the white against the green, but
it is also a happy reminder that the festive season is about to begin!
Kash phool brings with it a change in weather, it starts to
get a bit pleasant after the monsoonal downpour. Earlier, with so many open fields, one could get a glimpse
of Kash any where, it is getting very difficult now with almost all the green
spaces being taken away for real estate constructions :(
With Mahalaya just two days away, Kolkata is in frenzy, with
pandals gearing up to complete the decorations, people doing their last minute
shopping; this weekend being the last weekend before Durga puja begins. It is
true that it is almost impossible to move anywhere without getting stuck in
traffic jams, but the mood is so positive, and optimistic that I don't mind .In
fact, I don't want to go out of Kolkata during this time. I will miss it too
much.
I can't wait for Durga puja to begin so that I can get to
see those wonderful pandals which are a final word of creativity in Kolkata
during this time.
