Every October Kolkata transforms into the world's largest open air art gallery. But behind every glowing pandal and every breathtaking idol there is a human story that never gets told.
Sneha Chakraborty brings together Deep Das and Eshika Chandra, two young artists who are redefining what Durga Puja means in the modern world for a conversation that is as beautiful as it is heartbreaking.
They talk about art, identity, gender, struggle, Raja Ravi Varma, the emptiness after Bisarjan and what Maa Durga really means to the people who spend their entire year making her.
This is not just a podcast episode. This is a love letter to Bengali art and the invisible hands that keep it alive.

In this episode of Make Calcutta Relevant Again, host Meghdutt Roychowdhury sits down with content creator Laughtersane for one of the most honest conversations on the channel yet.
They cover his early life and childhood memories, the family bonds that shaped his personality, his school experience and what it really taught him, how he developed his unique content writing style, his deep obsession with old money culture, luxury watches, and classic literature and the mindset he uses to deal with hate comments and online criticism.
If you've been following Laughtersane's journey this is the episode that fills in every gap. And if you're discovering him for the first time, you're about to understand why people connect with him so deeply.
