Lost in translation of Modern World - Lost Durga Puja Fun and Tradition

Traditions and Fun Lost in Modern Durga Puja Celebrations

Much has changed over the years in Durga Puja celebrations - for starters my jeans has, along with the my outlook for the person who used to wear the old jeans (that's me ofcourse)

• The purists grouse about the loss of the dedication for the pious celebrations of the Pujas.
• The early modernists complain about the loss of romance in these times.
• The young and hippy have gripe regarding the lack of more modern touch to Durga Puja celebrations.

What has been lost in translation - Even the Goddess might be puzzled on the number of changes that are coming her way. Check this one out.

•  The dhunuchi dance is less romantic than the "Disco Dewaane" for all the Students of the Year!!
• The Puja magazines and  story books that used to be around for our parents during their young Puja days has been replaced by the latest apps of FB or Samsung Galaxy series.
• The annual rendition of Puja sholakas on Air India Radio has been swapped with the tunes on iPods (or iPhones or iPads)
• Checking out each other on the Puja Pandals which had been the draw of the young-things of the yesteryear has been replaced with Facebook pics!! (Put one Like to this)
• The community Puja is slowly being replaced by the corporate Puja which is snazzier but less human and even less romantic!!

Where are those days of simple pleasures and Pujas ?!!?
