They used to own lands where agriculture seemed to be major source of living in the ancient times. My immediate grandfather from father's side taught in a school in village and also took care of his greenville.Immediate maternal grandfather was a officer.In both my maternal and paternal native places, our family durga puja tradition is still going on since last 250/300 years.Cannot forget the charm in the family run pujas !<br /><br />Our family members who are now scattered around the world and involved in various professions of academia,business,medicine,engineering and alongside pursuing interest in music and arts, meet every year during durga puja.However with passage of time,we seem to be getting so busy in our own lives that family re-union seems to be a remote possibilty for all. However we still value the family feelings and sentiments very dear to our heart though we do not get to meet everyone always. It feels good to take a ride in time machine and go back to the environment of the villages and towns which is still filled with peace and serenity.
