“Born in a true " Bonedi Para " of North Kolkata and eventually married to a "Bonedi Family" who celebrates one of the oldest puja of the city, Durga Puja was far beyond a festival...it is an emotion to me.

“First there was Covid and now there’s a never-ending war! How much more can humanity take? This year, the Goddess is arriving on an elephant and leaving on a boat, and hence, we would like to celebrate our puja to convey the same message of peace and prosperity considering all the evil lurking around us, waiting for an opportunity to pounce!”

“This is my 4th puja in oslo. In 2019, I left kolkata just before Puja, naturally I was very upset. But that went way very shortly when I was involved in this Puja .. whether it is pandal decoration or cooking, we all do it together here like a family. Puja in Oslo is like a get together with my extended family.”
