Sharda @ Ganesh Puja

'Rangoli' by ShrushTi  at the lobby...

 So, Sharda invited me to her place in Mulund... It's like going to another city from where I stay in Malad. So, she wanted to make it worth my while by calling me for a stay-over and enjoy the festivities. This was during the Ganesh Puja in her building, as, she's relatively free during the holidays.












(I cannot help but admire all married women who look after family and kids). I took a bus and reached in time for lovely lunch and colourful cake that was made by her daughter for the cooking competition the evening before that.

This evening they had the dance contest with wonderful Marathi songs. The manDap was painted by the boys.

Sharda helped me dress up...

With Sharda and her little sister Pushpa...

Her little sister has kids of her own now...

 I thoroughly enjoyed myself; and love the fact that this year there was a definite surge in charity instead of the general splurge... I hope next year onwards the 'Dhol's and music systems would also have a decibel cut-off limit.
