I understand the adoption of the policy to cut the crowds in which I agree because I hate crowds thus I had bad experiences with it that it was not funny at all. However, Kallol is making it difficult to enjoy the presence of Durga Maa in many ways: there are folks out there that can only pay in cash in which they have the right to it; each and everyone of us have our own reasons to pay in cash; in other words, if anybody does not have a checking account, he or she has to deprive itself from seeing Durga Maa, since drop-ins are no longer accepted. Very sad! We must find a solution because if it continues like this, it will lose a lot of patrons and we do not this to happen to Kallol because it an excellent organization. Speaking about having two organizations celebrating Durga Puja on the same days, there used to a time when we could enjoy puja-hopping. Hello?! What is wrong with that? At least is always better than discotheque-hopping! Durga Puja comes once a year and I think there is nothing wrong with puja-hopping, therefore, Durga Puja means a lot to all of us. And it no use to frequent other locations because it would be crowded no matter what. I think New Jersey Puja Association should organize its own Durga Puja to balance out the crowd: they work in an outstanding manner and I feel that NJPA should become a bigger and more popular organization. Durga Puja is an enormous event and every  organization and temple should celebrate it, at least we can have a choice on where to go and we can make plans from two weeks to a month ahead of time, and we can still have the freedom to have a wonderful time. Speaking of the badges, ink stamps, and wristbands, Kallol is acting like it is a discotheque. Oh please! I truly understand the security measures that need to be taken, but this is extreme. We spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in fashions, shoes, and accessories to look our best for two or three days, not to mention the food and the offerings we make to Durga Maa, plus the cost of the entrance; it's like we spend a lot of money just to get bossed around if we want to have a wonderful time. It makes me angry to think like that!  A good way to apply security measures without ruining the fun and our fashion statement is to go for the "invisible" ink stamps and hire a security guard with a black light to control the entry, it barely shows and it does not affect our fashion statement at all. I would like to say that I am glad to hear about the crowd control policy, it is about time.
