Thus it becomes really difficult to the grind of daily life from this celebratory frame of mind. The day when I had to return back to my regular life was really so difficult! To see the pandals being taken down is very painful and disheartening. But this happens every year so I know that things must go on. But the very thought of another Puja in the coming year, waiting to usher in all the festivities once more, gives me the inspiration to move ahead, to do my duties as a daughter, as a student and as a special child of God blessed with great friends and a loving family.
