Today is 'Mahalaya' - the beginning of 'Devi Pakhsa' or goddess Durga's fortnight. Bengalees use to wake at 4 a.m. to listen the age-old radio sketch "Mahisasurmardini" which is running since 1927 and getting refreshed to enjoy the ensuing Durga Puja Festival with revitalized enthu & zeal! This particular radio programme captured the emotions and sentiments of the Bengalees. The same audio tape of the first broadcast i.e. of 1927 has a certain nostalgia. The programme has, thus, an aesthetic value which cannot be replaced by any other recreated or modified programmes.
