Bongs are bongs, and are bongs
forever. This species has certain characteristics, which differentiate it from
other species like Homo-sapiens etc., but the best of bong comes out during its
annual carnival called Dugga Pujo (some not-so-perfect bongs call it Durga Puja
also). If you ever aspire to be called a True Blue Bong, you must do the
following five things during Dugga Pujo. Else...
Note that there are few variations
of this species across the age groups. We have taken a sample out of 30 to 40
years age group, as during this time frame the maximum possible bong-ishness
comes out.
And here are the 5 actionable. Check
your score, genuinely.
1. You should buy atleast one new
dress, even if it’s inner wear just before Dugga Pujo. And you have to wear
that piece on the auspicious day of Bijoya Doshomi while offering Anjali (not
Sachin's wife dude, its offering flowers to the Goddess).
2. You must buy a Puja Barshiki, the
Puja special literature editions. It’s not about reading, it’s about the buying
experience man. There is no harm even if you don't complete a single story.
3. You have to go out and eat street
food (read Fuchka) atleast on one of the 5 days of Pujo. This is must for your
annual soul (and bowel) cleansing.
4. You should post atleast one pic
in Facebook. If you are male, one abstract pic is worth 10 Durga portraits. If
you are phemale, post a couple of selfies. No offence - you look good during
Dugga Pujo, also.
5. Bhog and not Vogue is in-thing
during Pujo. Keep that in mind on Astami.
One bonus point:
6. You must have a traditional wear
in your wardrobe. Ladies/Girls - Red & White. Men/Boys: White Kurta. Color
variations are acceptable since this is a bonus point.
