19th August 2011, the day you turn four
You have become big, not the little Vyom anymore
Makes me think today of all the things
Specially  playing the Schmetterling” wings

Today you turn a year older
Wishes for you to take steps even bolder
A year to start even more questions
I hope God gives you the right directions

Time to move away from “myao” and “teddy
“But always keep your friendliness and smile steady
I wish you get even more friend
Being gentle and nice is all I recommend.

I wish you fine and simple pleasures
Hope that you enjoy life’s best treasures
I wish you years full of only laughter
With no tears and a “happily ever after”

Important of all is to have fun
May you always be surrounded by happiness sun
I hope you enjoy this day
Wish you a very Happy Birthday.

Thats a verse which for all the bengalis around the world has become  synonymous with Mahalaya or start of debipaksha .

In 1932 All India Radio ( AIR) broadcasted for the first time at 4:00 AM on the Mahalaya a  beautiful two-hour program consisiting of Devotional Songs,classical music and  recitation from the scriptual verses of Sri Sri Chandi (Chandipath ) by Birendra Krishna Bhadra. It was called Mahisura mardani – মহিষাসুরমর্দিনী,The Annihilation of the Demon .From that day till today for the past 8 decades Bengalis get up during the chilly pre dawn hours to listen to Mahisasur mardani.

The flow of emotions and nostalgia that this brings along on one hnad gives me the happiness that Debipaksha has started and Durga Pujo is not far away, on the other reminds of all the excellent days of childhood of getting up at 4:00 am in the morning, listening to Mahalaya along with parents and going out to eat “gorom jilipi”

Gorom Jilipi

For everyone  you can visit http://www.mukerjees.com/pujo.html for more info on Durga Pujo.

Unfortunately I would not be ab le to attend the Pujo either in India or even in Germany this year as I would be attending my first module classes for my MBA in Paris. Nevertheless the nostalgia remains and from the whole Mukerjee Family I would like to wish everyone a Sharod Subeccha.

After a long time , got a chance to update the picture gallery on the website . I have removed the pictures pre-2009 as my website was pressing the panic button with the space issues. Please visit the Picture Gallery to take a look . At the moment the Private Picture Gallery has 2009 pictures and 2010 pictures.

Today I sat down to write a few lines,
On the occasion of your birthday.
Made me think of your strides
Completing three years since you birth day.

To give a gift a little different
Letting you know you are special
Adding a bit of our love pigment
Helping you with lifes Pedal

From a small cutie pie
Trying hard for the first move
Running around in a blink of an eye
With your cute smile asking to approve

Be that playing with your teddy
Or choosing your  Ben-10 Carpet
Your smile has always been steady
Always having something for everyone in your pocket.

On this day all that we want
May every day be as good as it could
Never may you come across the word can’t
MAy health and happiness be jumping in your wood.
