Durga pooja reharsall starts.....

Ya, Bengali's associated with WVCA (west vishakha cultural association), starts their preparation for various cultural programmes, that will take place during the durga pooja time. I can't dance so i will be a part of the singing population. every thing that we do during this time of the festival has a Bengali touch in it. I am eagerly waiting for the pooja, i am sure every Bengali family is eager about the pooja.

The rehearsal will happen in the Community hall of WVCA, we will gather only on Sunday evenings. Its not only about Durga pooja, it becomes a meeting place for Bengali's in vizag who are associated with Bengali art and culture and can't live without it. We may learn many languages, but when it comes to mother tongue, the heart speaks, it gets an eternal relief, and that too when we get to hear lots of songs composed by Ravindra nath Tagore, various modern Bengali songs, etc. in the mother tongue.

Up coming festival, "GANESH POOJA"

Again the festival time, Ganesh pooja is not celebrated grandly by bengalis unlike the north and the south Indians. Here in Vizag there is a Bihari association, they celebrate Ganesh pooja in a grand way.Now why am i writing about Bihari's in this page which is only about Bengali's in Vizag? well theanswer to the question is- herein this city people from all cultures live very closely, every body donates and its a 4 days and night BHOG that happens. Bengalis are also invited, to the BHOG VITARAN.
Cultural event, followed by BHOG is what attracts bengali's during the Ganesh pooja.
