  2. We also release sky lanterns in diwali evening every year.
    Lots of people throng on the roof to hv a glimpse of our home made faanush here at shyamnagar north 24 pgs.
    Though the desingn we make is very traditional still its somethong which excites many mind.
    To make something fly in the sky made by ownself gives a kind of satisfaction.
    Its really a lost art which I wish to revive one day…
    I wish
    One day the sky of Bengal will fill with wish lamps….
