Celebrations at Skylord
Just as it happens every year, this year too the entire Bengali community of Skylord gathered on the same ground to celebrate the yearly Durga Puja. Only this time, it seemed to have lacked the traditional lustre and glamour. Thick with politics, the entire atmosphere seemed to be grim and disturbing. Sudden monsoonal threats at regular intervals further jeopardised the somewhat festive mood and the melodious feel of the once-in-a-year very Bhadraloki celebration.
