Panchami made me famous

Yes. It did.

I practically ran away from office with the Sengupta Brothers to go pandal hopping. We braved a fullish metro (I've been in worse, and still worse is expected in the Pujas).

The first pandal we saw also had a canine visitor who travelled there by rickshaw, with master and master's nine-year-old daughter in tow.

Where we became famous was at Deshopriyo Park. Star Ananda caught the three of us heading to a Tora Tora type ride, which turned you round and round six times only (though it seemed much more). I suspect we were also caught on camera by some print publication while checking out Ma Durga's fancy saree. But I've no reports to that effect, so really can't be sure.
