Its interesting the way hundreds / and more idols of lord Ganesh get submerged in water during the Visarjan (the drowning) {sounds like a tittle of 90's Bollywood movie which had gems like - Takhat the Power. Vasthav - the reality and Himmat - the daring}. It was also interesting to see hundreds of devotees pray, for well being, for a better life, for their children's future.
So much of creativity is on display during the festival. The decorations. The chants of Shoklas, the mini/short cut poojas performed for the very emcompassing/adjustive God. {We lack Priests in Mumbai} http://epaper.dnaindia.com/epapermain.aspx?queryed=9&eddate=9/10/2010 and the best part about life is that we actually get to socialize during this festival.
We are an interesting bunch. We pray, hope, believe and then we say goodbye and then ask him to go away and come back next year.
But we are Mumbai afterall, everything is based on time. No soon no after. Only when it is due. Each day is work and each day is worth it.
