Hujuge Bengali and there Carnivals

Bengalis are very crazy for festivals. “Hujuge” is a synonyms for Bengalis because we actually don’t need a reason for celebrations…”Hujuge Bangali” round the year it’s a festive season for us.  It’s a well-known saying for Bengalis “Baro massh e Taro Parbon”.

We Bengalis are Quintessential  for celebrating any sort of festivals whether it’s our great poet Rabindranath Tagore’s birthday or our 5day showstopper Durga Puja. Wherever we are in any part of the world we don’t forget our festivals. Not only our own we do celebrate all global festivals where its English new year or the samba dance carnival in Brasil you can find us everywhere.

Kolkata Durga Puja

Though round the year we have reasons for merry making but this does not give a hiccup to our work. The way we Bengalis manage both work and celebration makes us somewhat unique. Also one most important part of our festival is “food” we are very ”foody” and love to taste variations. This is the time we do indulge ourselves to taste the varieties. What so ever these festivals do replenish us with lots of energy and refreshes  us so that we can face any barrier with a smile. 

So I must say “jug jug jio Bengali with your festivals…”
