... (by the Hindu calendar) on this day, Ganesh Chaturthi, I was in Bombay. Like every year, last year too, I visited different relatives who had installed a Ganpati in their houses. But unlike any other year, I was hurrying from place to place. Because my bags were packed for my first ever step out of India.
As a pukka Bombaywalla, I probably love Ganpati more than any other festival... probably because of all the family and friends you get to meet over the 9 days. (Last year especially, that was a big plus. Being able to say goodbye to a bunch of people at one go, as opposed to having to go to each one's house indivudually is a huge blessing -- in Bombay, atleast!)
352 days, and counting... this is the longest I have been away. Ganpati Bappa Morya! ( whatever happened to my pudhchya varshi laukar ya? )
