Oval was the other such site - but was more exciting on Jan 26th than Aug 15th with the parade.<br /><br />In Amladahi - Children's park was the center but what attracted crows was the flower garden - along with the RPSF celebrating JAnmashtami. Not to mention the occassional Bal-Mela with the toy train and the mechanical elephant rides.<br />I lived in CRJ from late 70's to early 80's and have seen the evolution of the town. But, Vishwakarma Puja actually gave a glimpse into what the town is based on - the Karkhana.<br />It is one town where during any puja - you turn around and all you see is friends irrespective of how think the crowd is. Someone said - and people treat you like you never left. I have not visited the town in a decade now. But the fond memories did get refreshed after reading the blogs.<br /><br />Thank You Sir for posting your memories to share with the CRJ-lovers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11687966448545009917noreply@blogger.com
