This is the time of the year I always wait for. I love to celebrate this festival. All festivals are meant to bring and bind the family closer. In my opinion, Ganesh chaturthi does this very effectively. Every year we all gather for a period of five days and worship Lord Ganesh. I have lot of belief in Lord Ganesh and that’s why this festival means a lot for me. At the end of this festival, I feel rejuvenated.
I wish Lord Ganesh bless us all.
Happy Ganesh Chaturthi…
Just get out of the house
Red, blue, green, purple, orange, pink…
Choose any color
Now close your eyes…
And feel the color on your face, your arms and all over 
Happy Holi to all…
God is very busy these days. When the festive season comes he has to be busy(The only time when everyone remembers his existence). Right from a kid aged six years to an old person aged sixty years is asking for something. A gift which will make him happy. God never likes to see his children’s unhappy. So to fulfill their wishes he tries his best. He never fulfills all the wishes but the ones which will really make him happy.
This tidy schedule often makes him forget things. Then we say god didn’t listen to me. He didn’t fulfill my wish. It also gets converted into, I hate god or I don’t believe in god. In our office we have a board where we pin some notes. We call them stickies. God has also followed the same idea. Look at the picture. He pinned a note on Earth.
His To-do list contains “Prove Existence”. Some posts back I talked about this. In today’s world of science, we hardly believe in god. He doesn’t exists as he cannot be seen. Now you have a question in your mind. Why god wants to prove his existence? Let him be an invisible personality (Is god a person??). I have no interest whether he exists or not.
There is a simple reason why god wants to prove his existence. You are walking down the road with pride. You never look down or back. Just forward as it symbolizes progress for you. Suddenly you slip and fall. You just stepped on a banana peel. Curse the road cleaner and the monkey who ate that banana. When you fall, everyone around you probably starts laughing at you. You are alone and no one is with you. At that time god is with you, if you believe him.
If you have belief then you’ll laugh at yourself, take that moment on lighter side and continue walking. That is the strength god can give. And that is why he wants to prove his existence. He wants everyone to believe, there is someone behind who cares for you. That feeling itself is relief from any pain. Just start believing in him and feel the difference.
There was a time when I also didn’t believed his existence. Then some strange incidents started happening with me. Things which I never thought would happen with me. It’s not just coincidence. Coincidence can happen once or twice, not every time. Just start looking at small things that happen in your life. He is always there and exists.
Till you see the invisible…

शुभ दिपावली…
Glad to be blogging again. After being offline for five days here I am with a dose of nonsense. It is amazing that the five days ended very quickly. I woke up yesterday morning just to see that it was the last day of the festival. Gosh!!! It should have been more. All the hard work in preparations, in prayers, in the rituals, in the aarti’s was fun to do. Meetings in join family always rejoiceful.
Yesterday was the immersion day. Rains for the past four days were not in the picture. To our surprise rains god wanted to give us company for the immersion ceremony. The close by river where we immerse the idol was almost flooded within no time. When I went there and saw the speed of water I thought we’ll be having trouble today. Thankfully rain intensity reduced and it was all good in the end. It was 2 o’clock by then.
I came home today and first thing was as usual to be online. A flood of e-mails and messages was waiting for me. And there is still the subscriptions of the blogs which I haven’t finished. It’ll take sometime to complete. I wish I owned a laptop so that I could finish them in my free time at work. It’ll take 2-3 days maybe.
The first thing I noticed was my e-mails where “chromed”. Many e-mails regarding this Google browser which I won’t be using. Secondly due to lack of publicity there was not much response to “Talking Picture 05”. So no results this time. It seems nobody liked the snowman drinking beer. =] I’ll be trying different traffic source from next month and will slow down use of entrecard till the big announcement.
The last five days were great. Chatting with my siblings, uncles, friends, some other relatives really pulled of everything that was on my head. It feels much more relaxed. Now I am ready for routine life. Such breaks in the routines should be made compulsory. Now have to see where my work has reached?? I’ll have to wear a bulletproof jacket tomorrow. 😆
