This and That 007
“Why do you create us?”
“You created me.”
“Do you mean we living things created you?”
“Not the rest, only you humans imagine me.”
“No, no, it is not just imagination; we feel your presence, not all but many great men.”
“Your imaginations are often very strong.”
“Do you want to say that I am talking to myself?”
“You do it most of the time unless you blog.”
Immersion of Durga idol in Hingalgaunge or Taki the border towns is itself a ceremony. In evening boatful of people along with idol loaded big boats make round and round on the river. Many people gather on both the banks (Bangladesh and India) for the show. Law keepers BDR and BSF respectively had tough time to keep the border intact and at the same time not to abolish a tradition. Boats flew respective national flags to mark themselves but could go any sides without being challenged. There was lots of dancing and cheering. Some people threw sweets to passing boats. We could have done the same had we knew it a practice. Let us hope vandals do not take over to ruin the camaraderie.
Let me acknowledge Vivek recorded the cake eating on film and again it is Abhijit who took us fifteen heads to Hasnabad for one night out.
