Ganpati Bappa Moriya!!

Just got up!! After coming from Ganpati Visarjan I just woke up.

Through the lanes of failed relationships & unaccomplished dreams, i walk in the lanes of my life. And all this while I am not longing for my next date or a night out to a disc or pub. But I look after to put up a post on this blog, not for many others but for myself & handful others, with few feelings & emotions.

While I am drafting this soundless & peaceful blog, the city is rocking to the tunes of 'Dhol' & the high pitched music. In the background all I can hear are the 'beats of dhol' & few bursting crackers!! All i can see is glittering lights & people in the crazy mood (pretty ladies are also very much visible). All I can feel is excitement & joy.

Ganpatis were even made up of Silver & Gold. one ganpati near my place had 210+ Kgs of Silver & few Kgs of Gold. The prashad distributed by that pandaal alone crossed few lakhs of budget. We all had glimpse of those countless tonnes of coconut distributed to all. n the day everyone took their Ganpatis for 'Visarjan', some took it on trucks, trailers, some took in tempos, cars others took it on bikes, cycles & even on their own feet, but no one left without making it felt, no one left without the beats of dhol. The dhols came from nasik & from pune, the money spent in few square kilometers for the soul reason of Ganpati dwarfs turnovers of many companies.

In heavy rains & strong breeze, we all went out, sat on a 40 ft trailer, an open one which generaly carries cargo containers. We all, youth, children, uncle & aunties, sittinga 40 ft truck moved to the Shivaji Park. For moments it felt like remaking of chaiyya chhaiyya song but than the excitement crossed even that benchmark. While making fun, teasing every second person on road, while dancing on the beats of dhol, shouting & screaming, pumped up we reached Shivaji Park. An aarti followed immersion of Ganpati Bappas big statue, we faught with high tide, we faught with strong waves & somehow managed to immerse the God, while thinking that he'll give happiness to all of us & will be back again next year.

Though I can make this blog even bigger by putting things into my very ordinary words but the real fun of life is to have first hand experience of all this. The soundless blog can never match the real excitemnt & is far from reality.

Now it's been 11 days of complete fun, dance & the craziness. It'll be peace but before that peace we are rocking the town, brushing away the dullness, dancing hard. And the last words from our mouths are "Agle baras fir aana, Ganpati Bappa Moriya".

The dhols are still being beaten up hard to extract the loudest possible sounds, metals are also being striked to keep the sounds echoing inbetween tall towers of the surrounding areas & they will go on till late night. But I intend to wind up with a strange excitement & few goosebumps, which have become normal from last few days. TUCHWooD!!
