Subject: Durga Puja is this weekend
Dated: Oct 12, 2005 |
Dear Member, Prabasi would like to remind you Durga Puja starts this Saturday Oct 15 and goes on till Sunday Oct 16 at Chabot College, Hayward. Join us in the Durga Puja fervour with the beating of dhaak, call of the conch shell, the incense of dhuno and the mammoth flow of humanity flocking in to the pandal decked in their best sarees and punjabis. Yes friends, that special week-end of the year is here. You will find all program details at our web-site at http://www.prabasi.org/durgapuja Schedules and venue are also available at the same site. FASHION SHOW ============ Bengalis dress their finest during Durga Puja -- from Dhakai sarees to Tangail silk, from Toshore to exquisite Katha work, men in dhutis, embroidered kurtas and other trendy apparel. When there is such abundance of beauty and fashion strolling around, why not have a fashion show? Prabasi invites members from ALL AGE GROUPS to join us in an out-door fashion show on Sunday, Oct 16 at 1:00 pm. This is your chance to dress in your finest and show it off on stage. To participate in this fashion show, please email Dolon Das at dolon_das@yahoo.com or Sushmita Datta at datta99@yahoo.com ABHIJEET'S VISA =============== We are having some problem procuring Abhijeet's visa because of new strict rules and regulations. Therefore, there is a chance that Abhijeet may not be able to reach here by next Saturday. We will try to reschedule his program to Sunday, or if even that is not possible, to sometime later this month. Therefore we have temporarily suspended selling Abhijeet's tickets. We will update the website on any further changes. We are still trying to secure the visa. If you have already purchased the ticket and the program is cancelled, your money will be refunded. We sincerely apologize for this inconvenience caused and will make up for it later this year. Durga Puja, the most endearing festival of Bengalis, brings back old memories and makes new ones. It is your time to socialize, renew old bonds or just indulge in adda. We are all eagerly awaiting to see you there. Sincerely, - Anupam Bagchi Prabasi Webmaster Dated: 10/12/2005 =================================================================== BAY AREA PRABASI INC.
