From the President's Desk

The thought of Durga Puja at Meghamallar brings back a flood of memories in all our minds - moments of joy, love and celebrating together the homecoming of our beloved Ma.

As many of you would be aware, I grew up in Meghamallar, and have been involved in the Durga Puja celebrations right from the first year at Meghamallar. While I take up the responsibility of being a President of our Samsad, I do realise that it is a great responsibility that I am shouldering. I pray to our beloved Ma Durga to give me the strength to carry forward this glorious tradition. I also appeal to all members of the Samsad to come forward with their support, ideas and find means to increase the advertisement revenue.

In the words of William Wordsworth - "Child is the father of Man". This being the Decade for Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World, Puja Committee has decided to have children as the guiding theme for this years Puja. Since my childhood memories are strongly linked to Meghamallar, I relate to this theme is a very special way. I would request for ideas from you to help us in establishing this theme for this year's Puja.

Let us all join hands to make this year's Durga Puja celebration a grand success.

Pranams and best wishes
