The excitement and exhaustion of Cincinnati Durga Utsav are finally wearing off. The chatter in our Puja Committee Whatsapp group has moved on from frantic SOS messages to haansi-thatta memes. The weekends are looking busier than ever as we get closer to the holiday season. But, unlike in the past - the Puja Committee will be getting together to continue the planning exercises for our 10th year Puja in 2017. If any of you are interested in joining the Puja team and working actively in the organization of the event, please let us know. There were many new faces and new families who attended CDU 2016 and we will be very glad to have them join the organizing teams.
Many CDU 2016 participants wanted a more relaxed setup to get to know the community members and each other better. The Board of Trustees (BOT) is still deciding on the dates and venue for the After Puja Get Together. Too late into December would mean losing the "After Puja" relevance and too early in October would mean calendar conflicts. Balancing between these two is what the BOT is doing as it finalizes the venue and the date.
Our Cincinnati Durga Puja got a good bit of airtime this year with News Time Bangla, Banglapodcast, Anandabazaar Patrika etc. If you have missed those earlier, here are a few of them for you to check out:
