Bhadra's rendition of Mahalaya still best

"I remember that every house in our neighborhood would play 'Mahisasurmardini' at the crack of dawn and later end up with a cup of tea, samosa or kachauri and jalebi afterward," says Suchismita Chakravorty, a housewife in Kolkata. "Mahalaya means Durga Pujo, one of the most eagerly waited festival of the Bengaliis just around the corner! Ma aschhen (the Mother is coming)," says Chakrovarty.
