AGARTALA, Oct 5 (TIWN): “Dhaak”, “Shiuli” flowers, “Adda” and an incessant supply of foods. Durga Puja is all about fun and frolic apart from soaking in the festive air with friends and family. Today statewide Saptami celebrations are going on, the first day of Durga puja.

Durga Puja is an annual festival celebrated over a period of ten days, primarily in the East, and in West Bengal, Assam, Tripura, Odisha, Bihar and Jharkhand. In Kolkata especially, streets are lit up while puja pandals set up in myriad themes adorn every nook and corner of the West Bengal capital.

And for Bengalis, more is less as far as Durga Puja is concerned. Every Bong waits for the festival with bated breath throughout the year - be it the joy of shopping for new clothes, gorging over delicious food or celebrating in full spirit from Shoshti to Doshomi.

So, if you belong to the crowd that will be reliving every moment of Durga Puja through pictures uploaded on social media and Bengali news channels, here's a list of things (read: emotions) that will add to the agony of missing out on Durga Puja celebrations. Aside: We only mean to make you nostalgic and nothing else.
