Ok now, here I start off with my first report. After having almost forgotten about the shoot I got up at 7.45 am. Sleepy, gloomy and also hell worried that I will miss a few early shots I darted off instantly to meet my boss, Mr. Rahul Reddy, and my girlfriend, Miss Sreemoyee Roy Choudhury, as they were our guests for the shoot. Met them 10 minutes late and off we went in Rahul Sir's car and reached Bagbazar at around 9.20 am.

We met Aparna on the road and with her was our third guest, Angad. After having given the both of them a lift in the car we finally reached the place. Most members had also just arrived. And wow! the place was already a hub of activity. People hurrying about everywhere doing a host of things. Sudipda and a few others had already occupied a vantage point inside the pandal hoping to get a few better shots, but this was of no avail as all the action moved out of the pandal into the lawn. And then the moment of apocalpyse happened!

Swarms of photographers from maybe all the photograpy groups of Kolkata attacked the ever obliging ladies, all for their own bit ofphotographic eternalzation. Amidst this frenzy we were clicking away to our hearts content as well when Aparna caught the "ire" of the 'boudis'. The next thing we saw was with her face smeared with "sindoor' being a cute subject for the array of photographers.

I wasnt spared from being "red faced" either as I too was smeared with vermillion and also my girlfriend, but the spirit mattered and thats all that counts. Thus we went on clicking and got a few very good portraits. Some stunning ones really!! Bengali ladies do look best in sarees and their expression during this event is beyond compare.

But as good thing have to end, so ended ur shoot at around 11.30 am.
We headed off again for the days full of the monotonous glory of our daily lives but with the everlasting ray of hope of looking into the goddess' eyes next time around.

Members are requested t TAG there picture with KWS091008SINDUR and post them to the group pool.
