Ganesh Chaturthi
Ganesh Chaturthi the festival of my fav god. Ganapathi aka Elephant God :O :( The day fell on Wed, right in the middle of the week. I didnt bother to take leave. I left on Tuesday evening. There was a huge crowd but luckily thanks to teh KSRTC initiaves of having added a depot to my small town, there are more number of buses to my place. Ofcourse the luxury of an air bus is not there, but i guess the new buses do come with good cushion. Except for the push back thing and some suspension, the buses are good. I dont mind the 6 hour ride. And, the roads are better except for an hour and half which is pathetic. I immediately went to deep sleep. These days, ppl are complainign that I am snoring a lot. Beware of me and my snores. I suffer from a broken , twisted bone in the nose. May be its the respirattory tract that gives me a prob. I guess I will have to go and check on the ENT specialist to fix my nose and throat. What about the ear? yes it too needs a fix coz I tend to get a lil' blood in my ears too. Complete fixup of EN and T :D.
I reached my place at 6 am. Mom was already up. She had woken up by 4 itself. There is always a constant fear my bro , myself and my dad have whenever there is a festiavl. Mom gets too hyper tensed about the arranegments , the timing etc. Fortunately, she said to go and take some rest. While my Dad n bro helped my mom, I was sleeping. I woke up with my mom reminding me to take bath. The rahu kala was between 12 and 130 or somethign close. It was still 10 30. Then, we decided to get the idol first and then go to get fruits n flowers.
There is this regular guy whom we get the idol prepared. This time his painting was fantastic. We got it and the time was nearign 12. Where were the fruits and flowers? Mom wanted my Dad to think and get some roses for decoration. Come on, this is too much of an ask for guys. Dad coudltn get rose and after a lil talk we were back to decorating teh mantap with colourful lights and flowers. Mom thought it ws not good enough. Later in the evening, many friends of my mom started pouring in to take a look at the Ganapathi. Everyone were appreciating my mom for the decoration. Aye! Mom may be our best shot is way above other's best . :P
In the evening, Dad n mysefl went and dropped HIM in to the river. Yes, I polluted our already polluted river. Well, next time i want an initiativ from teh Municpality to have a Visarjan Kund type near the river. We threw the idol form the bridge ala great dive for Ganapathi. Fortunately, it wa a cloudy day and I missed out on seeing the dead Moon. Every year I try avoiding lookign at the sky but two yars in a row , the blody moon gets rigth infront of ur eyes. So this time it was not the case.
I am down with a throat infection. I guess i better end here.
