Dear Friends,

My hearty greetings go out to all the Pujari patrons on the festive occasion of Durga Puja, Sharadiyo Abhinandan.

This has been an exceptionally exciting and busy year for all of us. From Banga Sammelan in Atlantic City to Bangamela & Regional Bengali conference in Nashville, Pujari has spread its wings and stayed in the limelight by participation in many prestigious cultural events outside Atlanta.

Being a Non-profit body we have also been there for our community and reached out to the less fortunate thru the Open Hand community development project as well as donated for a scholarship program for under privileged students at Berkmar High School.

In our effort to felicitate the distinguished members of our community, Pujari partnered with IACA to host a meet and greet event in the honor of Nobel Laureate Dr. Yunus.

That being said, letme take thisopportunity to talk about next year. Pujari completes 25 years in 2011. These successful years of running would not have been possible without our collective strength that came from each and everyone of you.

To make Pujaris 25th year really special , we the BOD have started planning and formulating strategies to make it happen.

Keeping the magnitude of this event in mind, it would not be possible to execute the same without your cooperation, support and significant involvement. Hence I would request all of you to please come forward and help us in any way you can to make this a memorable year fo all of us.

My special thanks goes out to all members of our Board of Directors who are working towards taking the right strategic decisions to contribute towards Pujaris enrichment and growth.

I would also like to congratulate the current EC for successfully executing all the events so far in a befitting manner. The team is working very hard and I thank all of them for their time and dedication.

Pujari as an organization does not exist without its members. We are an extended family and I urge more and more people to join this family and strengthen our membership base.

Finally, I also would like thank all our Patrons, Sponsors and event host Berkmar High School for all the support and help they have extended towards us. We look forward to our continued partnership in future years. With best regards,

Pabitra Bhattacharya,

Chairman Pujari Board of Directors 2010

Even the video presentation became integral part of the story telling. Movement by the dancers vibrantly brought shining raindrop on to the stage.

An eleven-hour love tale Nivedita Acharya , Pune

ts onewhere

are you?

Yeah Im

right here; Ill

see you in

about five

minutes.

Ok, then Ill wait right here

on level two. Come fast.

There was a beep at the other

end. With a quick glance at

his wrist watch Oni smiled

and rushed through the

crowded pavement. Its one

in the afternoon; hes half an

hour late for his first date.

Now that he was almost there

all on a sudden he felt this

butterfly effect in his

stomach, as if he was

anticipating his O-level

results! Its been three years

since he knows Divya and

theyve talked numerous

times on the phone, but today

everything was so different.

Three years back, one fine

but not so sunny morning Oni

pressed 2 to speed dial on

his cell phone. Next thing he

heard Namratas cell ringing.

Namrata who? His newly

found best friend! How they

met is another story, but

within two rings there was a

hello from the other side.

Oni started off the usual way,

Good morning dear and how

are we doing this morning?

Im doing good, thank you,

but Im afraid Namrata is in

the shower.

Oni was suddenly caught off

guard and took a while to

respond Oh alright! And you

would be

Divya, Namratas younger

sister. So do you want me to

give her any message?

Hmmm nah, its

alright- nothing really.

Just let her know that I

called.

That was the starting,

and then they met a few

times when Oni went over

to meet Namrata. They

talked casually; it was

more of a friendly

acquaintance. However

for the next two years

they hardly talked, there

was a lot more happening

in their lives, at least in

Onis life. To start with, Oni

celebrated two more

birthdays, passed his A-levels,

got admitted in university

and, yes, he also crashed into

love, or something like it.

A year of love, about a dozen

dates, a few gifts, one

Valentines Day and then

the break up! The sad part,

he still loved her; what was

worse: he was the one who

got dumped! A friend in need

is a friend indeed, and if the

friend comes with a tissue

boxes, a handful of

chocolates and a shoulder to

cry on-what else could Oni

ask for? Namrata was right

I

---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

there beside him all through

his thick and thin, she truly

has been his best friend. He

would now spend most of the

day hanging out with

Namrata, or talking to her on

the phone or the Net.

Three months back, one rainy

evening he looked for

Namrata on MSN Messenger.

There came a reply soon, but

it was Divya. She was working

on the PC and she would be

working pretty late, so he

said the usual hi, followed by

the casual bye and left her in

peace to work. He was

wondering what to do, but

right then Divya knocked

again, hey cmon lets keep

talkin! Dis work is getin on my

nerves!

He didnt have a better

option and he reciprocated

okiz so wats up?

They chatted for three hours

that night and then every

night. In no time they were

great friends; what related

them even more was their

eventful love stories, both of

which met similar ends. As

time went by they found out

that they had so many

similarities: common interests

in books, music, movies,

games and even similar

tendency of lingering on to

their ex! Their pain was what

bonded them. Every day they

would talk to each other

about how perfect their

relationship was, how

splendid their chemistry was

and how tragic their end was.

Fast forward three months

and here he is on his way to

his lady love on their first

date. They both decided that

they have had enough of their

exs and it was time to move

forward. Now that they have

been together to share their

pain, it was more of an untold

understanding they had; they

decided to date each other.

They both knew that it wont

just happen in a day, they

both still loved their ex but

dating each other would at

least start the process of

getting over them. Moreover,

not only to move forward,

they were perfect for each

other, there was the

understanding, the caring,

the affection, the humor and

they would even look great

side by side.

He entered the shopping mall

and ran up the escalator in a

great hurry. Just as he

reached Level 2 he saw Divya

standing with an impatient

expression all over her face,

awaiting his arrival. Just as

she saw him, she smiled. He

has seen her smile before but

this was so different, he

immediately knewthis is it,

she is the one. They walked

across the floor to an eatery

to find all the seats already

taken. With much difficulty

they got a table, placed their

order and started chatting.

They were talking the usual

stuff, nothing mushy but

during their conversation she

noticed how protective he

was being to the fact that

other guys were staring at

her. With every frown he

gave, she would laugh; he

would get a bit pissed and

then soon would look down,

smile a little and turn red.

Time passed by and they

enjoyed each and every

moment of it.

He walked her to the car,

opened the door and just as

she was about to enter the

car she stopped. She looked

at him, he looked back and

they both started laughing. It

was a new, weird and

interesting feeling that they

both were havingmust be

something about the way they

were standing today. Soon the

laughter settled down and she

said with some gravity, I

loved it today. Thank you for

the wonderful time, it might

not have been a typical date,

but I guess it works for us.

Things cant be all mushy

right away and I hope you

understand there wont be

---------- ||Anjali 2010|| ----------

sparks flowing all overits

going to take some time.

Yeah I understand. I do. But

with the way things are going,

Im hopeful. I dont think any

of us are in a hurry, so time

shouldnt be a problem. Lets

just be ourselves and let it

flow.

They both nodded, a goodbye

hug and she was off.

On his way back home, he

SMS-ed her reached home

safely? and she replied back

Yea!

He kept day dreaming all day.

He was happy once again, he

found a reason to be happy

and he knew it was perfect.

Finally he felt as if he

understood what they mean

when they say All in good

time!

That night they spoke for an

hour on the phone, talking

about their date and their

future. Her tone had this

strong acute apprehension

about their relationship but

he was too hopeful to take

that into accounthis jokes

would wash away all the

apprehensions.

Next day he called her early

in the morning, but there was

no response. He thought she

might be sleeping. He called

her in an hour again, and then

again, and again; he kept

calling all day but there was

no response.

He was getting concerned and

tension was building up. He

thought possibly she has her

cellphone on the silent mode

or maybe she is online, so he

signed into MSN but she

wasnt there as well.

So he decided to wait and

thought of checking his mails.

Just as he opened the mailbox

he saw her mail, in an instant

his melancholies vanished and

he had a huge smile on his

face. He said to himself, I

knew she would leave me a

message.

He opened the mail and it

said: Im sorry I dont think

I can do this! Im really

sorry but Im sure you will

understand and we will still

be the friends that we were!

He noticed the time tag on

the mail; it showed two in the

morning.

He spent rest of the night

sleepless, wonderingwho

hurt him more: his ex or

Divya?

After thinking for hours and

writing this down, he

realized: his eleven-hour love

story hurt more!

The Banker to the poor Suggests Growing Social Business An event co-hosted by Pujari to honor Dr. Muhammad Yunus at IACA on August 28th, 2010.

Muhammad Yunus, famed economist and Nobel Prize winner was in Atlanta for three days and Pujari was able to host the event to honor him with a

Humanitarian Award in association with India American Cultural Association. Two other organizations Gandhi Foundation of USA and Bengali Association of Greater Atlanta also co-sponsored the event besides Pujari.

Dr. Yunus was awarded the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize jointly with the Grameen Bank - which he founded in 1983 in Bangladesh, "for their efforts to create economic and social development from below." He is the founder of the concepts of microcredit and microfinance and established the Grameen Bank in 1983 in Bangladesh for helping the poor escape poverty by providing small loans to them on suitable terms. He also served on the board of directors of the

United Nations Foundation, and was involved in organizing the relief events in Haiti or other parts of the world.

In his speech, he said the idea behind Grameen Bank was developed after he began to lose faith in the economic concepts he was teaching students, which he believed did little to help those in need. Dr. Yunus' vision is the total eradication of poverty from the world. The Grameen Bank, which began as a research project by Dr. Yunus in 1976, has reversed conventional banking wisdom by focusing on women borrowers, dispensing-off of the requirement of collateral and extending loans only to the very poorest borrowers. Today, more than 250 institutions in nearly 100 countries operate micro-credit programs based on the Grameen Bank model.

Pujari is thankful to its member Dr. Gauranga Banik, who is also a member of IACA executive committee. He was instrumental in getting him with us and organizing the event in a very short span of time.

KoreanPeninsulathroughAnonymousEyes

- Dr. Ayan Khan, South Korea

We, the passport holders of the largest democracy and proud owners of the great cultural heritage, are dreaming for a new India 2020. Our vision of India 2020 is to be bustling with energy, entrepreneurship and innovation. But our story is just like the crab in the drum. When we try to proceed our fellow brothers pull us down. So we are still a developing nation and hopefully we will continue to be! We have numerous internal problems besides foreign aided terrorism, and home grown fundamentalism apart from other challenges. We are still hovering and wondering into the delusion of capitalism and socialism. In spite of being a socialist republic, Dantewada like episodes exists in India. But we are aghast, because this is the attribute of pluralism and we say proudly Unity in Diversity.

Due to professional obligations, it was my privilege to spend a few months in South Korea. Before coming here, I knew a little

bit on their problem, the struggle between North and South in the Korean peninsula. Being born and brought up in a country where problems are partly attributed to the diversity, here I am in a place where diversity ceases to exist. So expectedly the intricacies should be different. It is natural that we always try to draw parallel from a known scenario. When we suffer from terrorism, we blame it on our neighbour and we sleep at peace. On the contrary, when a navy ship gets drowned here by some mysterious reason, the government looks for strong reply from the other side of the International Date Line! The more I am looking into and learning the problems here, the more it amazes me. Korea had been a Japanese possession since the early 20th century. At the time of Second World War, the Korean peninsula was totally under occupation of Japan. Sometime at that point the two giant super powers USA and USSR liberated the peninsula and temporarily divided it into two parts, so that both of them can rule

the place towards peace. When the super powers left the nation, they left their own puppets and ideologies behind so that by the time both the nations have nuclear power, they cannot lock their horns. The poor Koreans became their pawns for muscle flexing towards each other. The Korean partition is based on a totally different scenario than ours (partition of India and Pakistan), which seems very surprising to me. Unlike our partition, the Korean partition is not the result of vested interest of a group of people only. According to history, U.S. troops landed in Korea to begin their postwar occupation of the southern part of the nation, almost exactly one month after Soviet troops had entered northern Korea to begin their own occupation. Although the U.S. and Soviet occupations were supposed to be temporary, the division of Korea quickly became permanent. Even today, the people of South Korea remember the brutality of the war crimes conducted by the Japanese, but think North Koreans are their brothers! But the question arises: how long they will retain such notion about their next door nation? The continuous negative propaganda from external powers will definitely subdue the affection and feelings in the future days when nobody from the previous generation will be alive to nurture this bond.

Even though the Korean peninsula is divided; one cannot actually define each others cyber space. The question that lingers in my mind is who rules the peninsula? The two anonymous governments or they are just the whip to people, held by somebody else? It is hard to believe that a nation of such a hard working people will have a cripple government! There was neither capitalism nor communism when Japan left the land and but today much attention is being paid to these. The nations believed to be the caliphates of world peace, gave freedom to these innocent guys by bisecting their minds. Is it not the time to ponder about uniting their souls as well? Despite now being politically separate entities, both governments proclaim as a goal the eventual restoration of Korea as a single state. A unified Korea is a very important component of Korean national identity. What should be the approach to take a step ahead and achieve the task? An arithmetic average of communism and capitalism? Or a geometric harmonic approach? When an ism becomes tool for division, then it necessitates the birth of a new ism which can amalgamate them or more academically and find the mean to overpower the meanness of the all conquers.

PujariCommunityDevelopmentProjectOpenHand

Pujari participated in the Open Hand community development project on August 1st 2010. Our 34 volunteers, as a team, packed and sealed 2000+ food boxes on that day. Pujari also donated $200.00 to Open Hand on that day. Open Hand officials were overwhelmed by the large participation and support from our team.

We proudly like to mention that in our team we had many young members as young as 8 yr old volunteer.

This was a wonderful and memorable experience to work with them for a great cause.

Pujari 2010 EC congratulates all volunteers and encourages everyone to join such events in future. It is sincerely worth doing.

Special thanks go to Mr. Satya Mukhopadhyay, to lead this great initiative on behalf of Pujari.

The following is a list of the volunteers that participated in this thoughtful event:

Sachin Tendulkar Sundar Rajan G S

Oh Sachin Tendulkar has come out on a quest

Of all the cricketers; he is one of the best.

Sachin hits a six, Sachin hits a four!

We wont be satisfied, we ask for more

They call him the master; they call him the blaster

Sachin is THE man, when we have a disaster,

In such tense moments, come graceful drives

The crowd jumps and roars, giving high fives.

Sachin scored the winning run, without losing concentration

The nation celebrated the moment; giving him a standing ovation.

He deserved the man of the match... for atrocity with his bat.

But you see a different person outside;

His humility deserves a pat.

Oh Mr. Sachin! I am your great fan!

6 + 4 = 10dulkar, I respect you gentle man!!

s the clocks all over New Delhi continue the countdown, Delhi and India await anxiously for

arguably the biggest sporting event hosted by India. It has been a hot topic of gossip among

Delhites and as the moment finally approaches, it is time that we take a look at the various

notable happenings leading to this worldwide phenomenon.

The city of New Delhi, home to 13.8 million people, will host the

Commonwealth Games in 2010. This will be the first time India has hosted the

Games and only the second time the event has been held in Asia.

The Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years

Delhi:ThecityofHeritageandLegacy

(Photographs from various online resources)

henever we look at Delhi, at a glance, the first thing that catches our attention is that it is a potpourri of a

number of religions and cultures. The third largest city in India, it is a rare blend of tradition and intellect.

Another point worth noting about Delhi is that it is the perfect fusion of the past and the present. The heritage and legacy of the city, in the form of its numerous historical monuments, coexists with the discotheques and malls of the present times.

The city stands on the western end of the Gangetic Plain and is bordered by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. There are two main districts of the city, Old Delhi the capital of Muslim India between the mid 17th and late 19th centuries with its historic sites, mosques and monuments and New Delhi, the imperial city created by the British Raj with its imposing government buildings and tree lined avenues.

Delhi - the commercial hub has many tourist attractions to offer. Visit vibrant shopping complex of Connaught Place, Delhi Haat for handicraft goods and delicious food bonanza. Pay a visit to Red Fort and Qutub Minar to view the excellence of Mughal architecture.

If you are looking for spiritual peace, visit Lotus temple, which is also famous for its marvelous architecture and heavenly beauty. Take a stroll at Rajpath. Or pay a visit to India Gate and Rashtrapati Bhawan for viewing monuments made during British era.

Recommended and accredited by reckoning names like "Lonely Planet" and the "IATA" Capital Delhi, where a empire rose and fell before the dawn of history; where citadels of emperors appeared and disappeared; a city of mysterious eternity whose old ruins proclaim a majestic and imperial past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever flowing life of India. The eternal Jamuna bears witness to the glorious and tumultuous 5,000 year old history of Delhi. A history begins with the creation of Indraprastha by the Pandavas and the transformation of this barren gift of the Kauravas into an idyllic haven.

Delhi was the focal point for the first war of independence in 1857. Though the revolt did not reach its desired conclusion, Delhi became a thorn in the eyes of the British. Not only in ancient times or the mediaeval period, Delhi has been the center of any activity at all times. As the Britishers shifted their capital from Calcutta to Delhi, all the activities
