Durga Puja this year was celebrated on October 4- 5, 2008 at Plainfield High School with a lot of fanfare and gala.

The sounds of "Dhak" and "Shank" playing in the background brought back nostalgic  memories  of past celebrations in India.The new Protima and the decorations were a sight for sore eyes."Dhunochi Naach" brought in some not so faint at heart, to the floor to seek Ma Durga's blessings.
After Aroti and a sumptuous dinner , the cultural program began.The audience was spell bound by Sukalyan's (and his team) performance and mesmerized by Raghav's classical voice.
On Sunday,about 60 kids  ages ranging from 5 to 16  years participated in the Arts and Craft competition. Every child who participated got a medal. After enjoying a traditional "Bhog" of Khichuri and Labra,the evening program started with a dance drama by GSCA followed by modern songs by the famous Sumona Chakrabarty,a hilarious play by the Epic Actor Group of NJ .The evening came to a close after an entertaining modern songs by Aniruddh Mitra.

On behalf of GSCA members,volunteers and patrons we wish you a very happy and prosperous Bijoya .
