Festive season

This is the festive season in Bengal. The season which makes us all feel joyous and good. Unfortunately all is not well for our brothers and sisters. South Bengal is still flooding and rivers are breaking levees and leaving the poorest of the poor homeless and stranded in water. While Calcutta prepares to celebrate with the usual glamour and fanfare, the voices of the flooded usually get wiped off the mainstream. My prayers for them. (Thats about all we can do... )

But in the middle of it all here is a beautiful story. It moved me.

A prayer for all human beings to find their humanity, this Pujo.
