Durga puja is the biggest festival for Bengali's all over the world. This is the time when we worship the Goddess Durga, the Goddess  of strength, the symbol of the victory of good over evil. This time around my home town of Kolkata gets into festival mode. Most offices, business, schools, shuts down for over 5 days and all work stops. Thousands of people flock the street of the city in their finest clothes, visiting places of worship, eating all sorts of local fast food and generally have a good time.

Unfortunately I couldn't visit home this year. But even in Hyderabad (where Microsoft India is situated) there are huge celebrations. The best part is that people from all over the world celebrate Durga Puja with us (Like this girl taking part in the Dhunuchi Dance)
