nI don?t really mind staying in the city during the Pujas, but as it happens, I?m hardly ever here. Just last year, I spent a fantastic holiday with my entire family in Goa during the Pujas and more often than not, I even try and pack in a short trip during this time. This year, though, it?s going to be work. As the Pujas start from Wednesday this time, I?ll be heading off to my offices in South India to oversee business.

nGiven half a chance, I try and get out for shows during the Pujas as what with all the traffic and crowds, staying here is pretty unbearable. Last year, I went to Kathmandu on a show, the year before it was Vizag ? and both times, I stayed back in these places and had a blast. Had I been in Calcutta, I probably wouldn?t have ventured out at all, except maybe to a nightclub or to a friend?s place.
