Celebrate Durga Puja With Me
Age 3yrs+
'Celebrate Durga Puja with Me' started as a thought while holidaying in Australia. Shoumi and her family attended Durga Puja celebrations in Brisbane with an old friend she grew up with in Bombay. "Bombay comes alive with festivities for five days every year during Pujo," they reminisced, as they attended a condensed 'weekend Pujo', which is typical outside India. Memories of celebrations from her childhood form the essence of her collection - the frenzied 'dhunuchi' dance during Durga Puja, the rhythmic chants of the oarsmen during Onam or the expression on a friend's face as you snuck up to smear 'abeer' during Holi! "I wanted to recreate these memories in verse for my daughter and kids all over who may not have the opportunity to experience festivals the way we did."
