these pictures are of the pratimas of our puja last year and i think i speak for one and all that they were the best ever since the pujo here began... and of course they're my favourite pictures ever...the one below is still the wallpaper of my computer...a whole year later....

its less than a month away and i am like totally in the bong mood now... can't wait for it to start... 5 days of pure fun, magic and bliss... you gotta be a bong to understand what the fuss is all about and how a puja can be so looked forward to by one and all....
