anticipation of the joy is so much fun, it lights up the face and the eyes. with the Puja holidays around the corner and ysterday being the last working day, every one was well dressed up and happy (except some of us who were gumpy that the holidays meant meeting deadlines which we knew we d find it difficult to meet). Looking at these happy faces i was envious and kinda felt left out of the puja spirit. on my way back home on half empty roads lit up made me feel notalgic and a bit sad. dont know why but thts wht pujas always invoke in me, even if its for a short while. is it coz i no longer feel excited as i used? tht i cant wait to get out of the city? or is the huge loudspeaker they put up in front of my window that blares at uncanny times, making anything else but irritation impossible.
flooded with memories and surrounded by happy, excited faces, children playing with guns (with Cap in it) i feel as if too much has passed and i ve grown up too fast....

For pujas this year i was in Vizag (my new home post marriage) and unlike every year where i wanted to get out of the city as soon as i cus, i was missing. wht i was missing is air of anticipation, joy b4 the puja, a chance to catch up with frnds and i felt left out of something tht is an integral of the city. i was taken back to last year- were i spent some very intersting time with frnds in jhargram, time to catch with another dear frnd who was in town and also to make new frnds.....
