The other side of happiness

The monsoon is on its last legs, the blue sky and white waves of kaash flowers now send the message that our beloved festival, Durga Puja, is round the corner. A time for  celebration indeed. But old-timers are frowning a little unhappily too. Ma this time is coming to earth on the vahan of ghotok - horse, and going back to her heavenly abode on horseback too. This indicates a time of conflicts and war.
