The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

  Subho Bijoya! May Maa bless you with joy, peace and kindness.  This year was a very different experience for me. Stayed home and say Maa on TV and going by when she arrived, so I had a dinky darshan.  I hope next year is better and I am slightly better.  Here is what Pujo looked like:  My Pujo read, I read half of this in April for Nobo Borsho and read the rest of it during Pujo.  Parar Pujo.  Baba clicked this picture.  My 2027 planner arrived.  A chunky cat came to visit.  Tried to find joy in little things.  Journaled about my Pujo.  A very Bengali bookmark.  I hope this festive season has been good for you and yours.  Dugga Dugga. 

  Dugga Dugga  Subho Bijoya my loves.  May Maa bless us all with goodness and love and light.  Abar esho Maa ✨🤍🙏🏼🤍✨

 Hello October 🌾🍁🪷🍁🌾 Dugga Dugga ❤️ Started my month with some pandal hopping and praying to Maa Durga for better days and joy and hope.  Here is what today looked like: many pretty protimas and pandals. Feeling a little festive.  Pujo has been a little quiet this year because it’s hard to imagine Pujo without Maa. We’ve stayed home all these days and only ventured out today.  Felt good to be out and about in the world and go see Maa Durga and her kids.  Hoping and praying that the rest of the month is just as nice. 

 Subho Nobo Borsho my Loves! I send you loads of Priti and Subhecha and Bhalobasha. May this year bring you allllll sorts of goodness.  Here’s what the first day of 1432 looked like: Some reading, refreshing my home for the New Year and eating some good food. 

 February, you were so good! Thank you & more please 🙏🏼 

 Happy Valentine’s Day my Loves.  These are some of my forever favourites 🎀
