Message from the President

Dear members of the community, friends and family…...

Here we are once again, a year has passed by quickly and we are back full circle to our fa-

vorite time of the year, ‘Durga Pujo’. On behalf of the 2015-2016 Bichitra Inc. Executive

committee, I have the pleasure to invite you to join in our 3 day celebration of the fervor,

festivities, fun and food.

Bichitra Inc. has thrived for over 40 years because of dedicated community members who

strive to bring everyone together. It’s been more of a family then just a group, not only to us

but our children too. We fully intend to foster that community sprit going forward. This

year the committee has focused on getting back to basics as the theme, therefore you will

see increased charity activities locally along with all our cultural offering. So please come,

enjoy these care free days, create warm memories for those cold Michigan nights, wear the

comfortable blanket of nostalgia, eat good food and let your hair down, because you are in

company of your friends and foremost of all, let’s celebrate the glory of Debi Durga.

I would personally like to use this pulpit to congratulate every one of you, present and past,

for a job well done in keeping the community sprit flying.

Wish you all a wonderful Pujo and Shuvo Bijoya!!!

Dusk To Dawn

A flash of pink starts to fade as night begins to fall. There is a cool

breeze blowing on a full moon night. Racoons are nibbling at bugs

and bats are flying around looking for food. The birds are returning

to their warm and cozy nest after a long day of work. The little chicks

are happy to have their mommy back home. The moon shimmers on

the lake beyond the meadows as the boats return to dock.

There is a stillness that descends and suddenly dark clouds start to

roll in. Lightning flashes across the sky as thunder crashes and it

rains cats and dog!!. The strange noise along with the rain turns out

to be hail – little balls of ice, which covers our backyard. Lights of

some houses appear to be on, while hails falls like sparkles till they

drop heavily on the ground and tap on the windows making clickety-

clack sounds. The sky clears and the moon comes out as the stars

fill the sky. In the stars you see patters some looking like shapes of

animals. The frogs are croaking making the ribbiting sounds.

The suns starts to rise as dawn begins. The birds are start-

ing to chirp, the bees are buzzing and the alarm clocks starts

to ring. Darkness yields to a beautiful new day.
