Shree, Souvenir - Durga Puja 2013, Assam Society of Bangalore Volume I | Page 90

But as we talk about gradual erosion,
The city also witnessed several vagaries of cruelty
Lets destiny play in eroding the cruel commotion,
Much to the delight on everyone’s mind.
And then come the religious pandemonium
People thronging every nook and corner,
The sounds of drum beating at intervals
Breaks the monotonous ambience.

Bengaluru

My adorable city
- Pranesh Chakraborty
Much before had I travelled in the realms of city
And many goodly states and territory seen,
I embarked into the Bangalore city
Only to get realized, that I was not a teen.

Come the advent of Durga puja
Much similar to our homely feeling
Devi Durga blesses us with happiness
We dance with our faces appealing.
Never to be felt lonely in this city
A city shining bold and bright,
Never to be shattered by the vicissitudes of time
Never to be blended in complexity
O Bangalore ! ! how can we ever forget our own
Saturday Nights …

The city boasted of monumental buildings
Very many to mention the parks,
I too get engrossed in the sprinklings
Much to light the sparks.
The city had its own standard
Made me feel gracious,
Not to mention our flaring group
Always vivacious.
The journeying of this city
Plant a beautiful mind in my heart,
A passion of vainglorious upheaval
To make a noble upstart.
The city’s weather, a pristine heaven
Loved by the city-dwellers
Its attractions are infinite
Gives us immense pleasure.
Never to be moved from its steadfast loyalty
The city conquers all sorts of disillusionments,
These thoughts always portray a warm intimacy
Making it grandeur in its own loftiness.
