My Neighborhood Watch #49 - Reporting Events Around us

It's always exciting to make post in a community like Steem4Nigeria. Before I start I would like to invite two fellow Steemians @crismenia and @joymm to participate in the contest.

Greetings friends!!

Another week has passed normally by god's grace. In last week mainly two incidents happened in our neighborhood.

One fact is also ture that our miserable life due to unprecedented heat and humidity has got a sigh of relief due to nor'wester with thunder storm. The minimum and minimum day temperature reduced by five degree.

1. Kabi Pranam held by Behala Club on 18-05-2024

There are two famous poets who born in two religious communities one is Rabindranath Thakur (Tagore, May 7, 1861) in hundu community and other one is Najrul Islam ( 24 May 1899) in Muslim community. Both of them are highest pride for all Bengalis and Bangladeshis. So the Club held a evening program to pay tribute to legendary poets as both of them also born in the month of May. It is a dedicated month of birthday celebration of the potes in all parts of Bengal and Bangladesh. Rabindra Jayanti is celebrated throughout the world.

Kaji Najrul was known as bidrohi Kobi ( "The Rebel") and his songs are known as Najrul Geeti which also includes gajals in Bengali, Hindi, Persian and Arbic. He also wrote many prosess.

He was recipient of many prestigious awards from Indan and Bangladesh Government such as Jagattarini Medal (1945), Padma Bhushan (1960), Ekushey Padak (1976) and Independence Award (1977). Wikipedia

Many participants sang and recite both the poet's song and poetry. There were also dance and drama performed based on drama written by Rabindranath.

2. Sri Sri Sitala and Kalimata Annual Ceremony (14 No Bus terminus)

This temple is situated beside the Main Bus terminus and electronics market of the locality. The temple committee organise the annual Ceremony celebration during this period of the year.

This year it was held on 18 and 19 May. On the first day they conducted worship of Devi and on the second day they distributed bhog (Prasad made of Rice and Dal with vegetables). It was over crowded but people patiently waited in queue for more than an hour for the holy food.
