Dear Friends, Welcome to 35th Durga Puja of BASC in 2013. We have waited all year long for this auspicious moment in anticipation of being filled with joy and divine peace that accompany both our worship and our festivities. Together let us pray and enjoy every single moment of this celebration with our families and friends. Let us forgive and forget all our differences and come together in worshipping Ma Durga. In the initial months of this year we started planning for our new Pratima. I am extremely happy to announce that this pratima was fully sponsored by our next generation members Tridivesh and Tulika Kidambi. This year they celebrated
the birth of their daughter Jiya. On behalf of BASC committee and all BASC members I thank the family. Per Indian tradition, I also thank their parents Ranga and Rastri Dey Kidambi and Madhusudan and Sikha Kundu. Both these families are also long term BASC members. It shows the passing of BASC tradition from one generation to other. This year we had a lot of festivities. We started with Saraswati Puja. Following the tradition, we had Dol in Bharat Sevashram Sangha. Although we had an initial setback with our landmark classical program in June, we worked hard and rescheduled the event in September. Kaushiki Chakrabortys concert which was a big success like the last years concert. We had a great Annual Picnic in the relaxed environment of English Springs Park with a lot of sports and fun activities. We continued our vision of collaboration with communities. This year we approached Dakshini for mutual collaboration and I am extremely happy that Arnab Chatterjee , president of Dakshini gave us warm support with this. By collaborating we can share volunteers and conduct more cultural programs and charitable activities. We had a very fruitful initial meeting where we worked out a lot of future activities and already implemented several of them. BASC and Dakshini together with Vedanta Society was involved in feeding the homeless people in
Long Beach. BASC and Dakshini conducted a very successful Mahalaya in Bharat Sevashram Sangha where
more than 350 members of both organizations attended. We are now planning a Natyamela in 2014 with San Diego based organization Saikat. We will conduct Dol in 2014 together. In future you will see many collaboration between BASC and Dakshini. These programs and events would not have been possible without your donation. BASC truly appreciates all its sponsors who have been supporting us generously and have been doing so for many years. Lastly, BASC's success is due to its hard working and dedicated volunteers. A big salute and a huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers without whom it would not have been possible to organize this years programs and events. We wish each and everyone of you a great Durga Puja and Shubho Bijoya. On behalf of Team BASC,
Deep Ghosh, President

BASC Fondly remembers
the friends we lost last year
We are deeply saddened to announce that Manas RoyChowdhuri, Manas da
to some of us, passed away on Thursday, March 28. Manas was fighting multiple my-
eloma, a form of cancer, for several years but his spirit remained strong till the end.
Manas was an incredibly gracious, caring and practical person an inspiration to many
of us Bengalis. The extended BASC family mourns this incredible loss alongside
Manass wife Jayshri , son Jojo, daughter-in-law Himani and granddaughter Ajuni.
Manas Roy Chowdhuri
Manas was a major sponsor of all things Bengali. He generously donated in all BASC events and always
helped us with his wisdom and practical suggestions.
Manas always wanted a permanent place for the Bengali community in southern California. He helped create
business plans for a Bengali community center and then was instrumental in finding a home for Bharat Sevash-
ram (BSSW) in Brea. He helped financially as well as with his counsel with attorneys, accountants, and donors.
Besides being a major donor, Manas was at the center of many activities in the Brea BSSW temple, including
publication of the BSSW brochure, Newsletter SANJOG, Feed the Hungry program, and so on. His dream was
to make the Brea temple a center for all Bengali religious, philanthropic and cultural activities in Southern Cal-
ifornia.
Besides his love for entrepreneurship, Manas loved music, theater, arts, dramas, religion, & literature. He
supported many cultural and philanthropic organizations. He was well-liked by all that came in contact with him
and had an incredible zest for life.
We are deeply saddened to announce the demise of Sri Bhola Nath Mazumder who passed away
on Sunday, March 31st at 5:30 AM. He is survived by his wife Champa Mazumder, daughter Simonti
Mukhopadhyay, son-in-law Sanmay Mukhopadhyay, grand daughter Sharanya, grandson Sharthak
and other relatives and friends.
Bholanath Mazumder was a devoted husband, father and grandfather. He was a highly respected
Horticulturalist in India and had come to the U.S. to study at the University of Illinois for his masters
degree. He had maintained a 5.0 gpa throughout his study and later was given many prestigious
awards for his work and achievement in horticulture. In 2008, Bholanath and Champa Mazumder
came to the U.S. to live with their beloved daughter, Simonti Mukhopadhyay. Throughout the last 5
years, he has been known in our community with various names like "bapi", "dadai", or
"meshomoshai" but regardless of which name came to mind, everyone remembered his smiling
face. His happiness in the small things in life, liking making applesauce from the apples in the back-
yard garden, or feeding the ducks in the nearby pond, or going to the mandir and having some
"mishti" is what made him so cherished. His happiness, his light, his blessings, his smile will live on
in our hearts and we appreciate all of your thoughts, prayers, and good wishes throughout this diffi-
cult time.
Sri Bhola Nath Mazumdar

Friday Oct 18 , 8:30 PM - Abar Asibo Phirey
The first two decades of this
century will see the convergence of many
seminal milestones in the cultural historyof
the Bengali people: The convergence of
these paradigm shifting events represents
thinking that maybe analyzed via a set of
very, very different narratives.
In Abar Ashibo Phirey, we choose to
celebrate them via this one particular
theme: Conjure the rich history of our past;
Analyze and Criticize the present and then
Transcend to an Optimistic Future. Most of
the iconic Bengali personalities in
literature, religion, philosophy, cinema and
social policy followed this pattern of
thinking. This has shaped the Bengali
psyche: in Bengal, in India and in the
Indian diaspora abroad.
In "Abar Ashibo Phirey" we explore
examples of the theme with drama, music,
dance and fine arts.
We utilize a multitude of emotions: tragedy,
humor, satire and hope and our timeline
includes the inception of the Bengali Re-
naissance to Satyajit Ray.
The intellectual trajectory drawn by the
personalities we will showcase are way more
than a part of Bengali cultural history, it
was avant garde for all of humanity. Our aim
is to reflect a bit; remember and maybe
collectively conceptualize a future.

Kids from Pathabhavan present a timeless classic comedy adapted from
Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhyays original story about what happens when both the
foremost scientist in the world and the most well-known cinema actress of her generation
land up in Ranaghat on the same day. How did this happen and who would the people go

Sunday Oct 20 , 2:40 PM - Ajo Kahini by Ajit Bose-Roy
Asok with his wife Kakoli lives in a city in United States. So does Satyaki and Kheyali. Both
the families are part of the local ethnic Bengali community that has a club named Hillol.
While the families are friends with each other, the upcoming election of the executive
members of Hillol has pitched Asok and Satyaki against each other as presidential
candidates. With a hidden ambition of being the First Lady of Hillol, both Kakoli and
Kheyali are involved in getting votes by impressing the Bengali voters with their excellent
culinary skills of pathar mangsho or goat meat items. Unfortunately, FDA has banned the
sale of pathar mangsho due to some unknown reason. Now both the families have to
somehow manage the huge expectation of the goat-meat-hungry Bengali voters. How would
they do that? Who will win the war and be the president of Hillol? The effort and the chaos
that follow are at the heart of Ajo Kahini, or A Goat Story!

Right in the beginning Durgapuja was not a open-to-all-by-
all event. Durgapuja first started in Houses of Zamindars.
Thereafter, other families too started the puja in their own
houses and gradually local clubs and organizations took it
over to make it a truly open-to-all event. However, since
pujas in houses of prominent families of Bengal were of the
true original form of worshipping Ma Durga, we'll first
present here the festive atmosphere of that time through
songs and dances. Together well enjoy the gaiety of the
family festivity of that time through the all-inclusive celebration by the participation of
masses -- that carried the message of joy and peace to all of us

Sunday Oct 20 , 6:15 PM - DIL Dhoondta Hai
Dil Dhoondta Hai is an original musical drama that presents a simple story of the main
character Anirban and his love Nilanjana. Anirban comes from a middle-class family in
Kolkata, brilliant in studies, and gifted with many talents in the arts, literature and music.
We enact his youth period, college life, involvement in fun and creative stuff with his
friends but above all his evolving love relationship with his girl-friend Nilanjana. A chance
opportunity to go to the west to pursue higher studies becomes a turning point in
Anirbans life. As he leaves his home and country, he starts to settle in a new foreign land
as an immigrant. We follow Anirbans journey, all his trials and tribulations, successes and
failures and conclude with Anirban now living a retired life but a very lonely man. As he
reflects on his life, his heart seems to be searching for an answer to an eternal question:
Where is his home? Did he make the right decisions? Is this the life he wanted? An
ensemble cast of singers, actors, musicians, dancers, and an entire production team from
the local community have come together to present this unique musical extravaganza that
will mesmerize you.

Just like other years the Pathsala kids will present a high-energy hilarious play; this time set in rapid-fire rhymes. This time Devi Durga is visiting Los
Angeles with her kids. Preparations are in full swing both in Kailash and in Los Angeles Bongo Somaj. The "morto" people, however, are really in trouble - everyone has a different
idea about everything and nothing seems to get done. Perhaps the gods can help? Oh, wait looks like Asura has quite an evil plan. But ... we can't tell you that now, can we? Come see
us on October 26 in Duarte and we promise you an LOL, no ROFL time!
