On the eve of Kaali Puja - Chote Diwali - Kolkata Diary...

I think everyone wants a peaceful life - surrounded by family members and close friends.

Here is our small family of three - on the eve of Kaali Puja - that is Chote Diwali - or in Bengali - Choddo Pradeep - (14 diyas).

My wife #reema slogged for the whole day preparing lots of Namkeen and Barfis of Moong Dal.

Jay Maakaali...

My earnest request to the #HumanOfBharat who are dwelling in the cities of Bharat.

Please revive the old cultural ethos and values that you learned while staying in the small town of Bharat before flocking to the over-congested cities and started rinsing yourself with the MTV kinds of masala water.

Otherwise, all of your children will become rootless - just like the second generation of NRIs feel - with no attachment to any special culture and values...

na ghar ka .... naa ghat ka...

for the sake of your kids

please revive your old values and culture...
