Ganpati Bappa Morya

This Ganesh Chaturthi, a few questions come to my mind. Most of us pray or remember God, at least our favourite God ( Isht) daily. We generally eat good food, sometimes indulging in sweets and other special dishes, especially on weekends and holidays. We clean our abodes daily. Then what makes festivals so special ? 

I think festivals connect us with our friends, relatives, neighbours, acquaintances etc, who are very much on our mind, but probably need a festival to be reached out to! And unlike other social occasions that connect us, festivals are more sombre, pious, understated and yet joyous!

Let me wish all my friends, relatives, neighbours, acquaintances and others a very happy Ganesh Chaturthi restating that all of you occupy a special place in my heart and life, thought at times expression of these feelings may be amiss!
