Biggest Regret of My Pandal Hopping This Year "Amra Sobai Club, Arjunpur"

So I went pandal hopping today and honestly, it was a mixed bag. We started super early at 4 AM thinking we’d avoid the crowd, but nope… first stop was Amra Sobai Club, Arjunpur and it turned out to be the worst decision of the day. I actually went to that pandal because I saw a glimpse on YouTube Shorts about this pujo and thought it would be worth checking out. But in reality, the pandal was ridiculously far from the parking area, and despite being so early, it was already packed. The lane we were queuing in was narrow, suffocating, and overcrowded. On top of that, many people in the crowd had zero civic sense, pushing, shoving, and no discipline at all. The whole experience was honestly awful and drained us right at the start. After that disappointment, we went to Dum Dum Mall Road Pujo Committee, then Dakhindari Youth, Tala Prottoy, Kumortuli Park, Kumortuli Sarbojonin, and Hathibagan Nalin Sarkar Street. Later we headed South to Ballygunge Cultural Association, Samaj Sebi Sangha, and Deshapriya Park. By then I started feeling unwell, so we decided to call it a day and head home. Looking back, my biggest regret was starting with Amra Sobai Club this year, it set the wrong tone for the whole morning. Honestly, not worth it at all.

My recommendation is, if anyone is planning to visit that pandal, please don’t. Save your energy for the better ones.
