Ex-fan

Ganesh Chaturthi is one such festival that takes over the whole of Mumbai for ten days. I'm not a big fan of bappa or any other Gods for that matter but this year he just appeared too cute to me. And with all these past years spent in this city, I'm probably just habitual to saying Morya as soon as I hear Ganpati Bappa. What I observed this year was kids deeply involved in this ceremony taking advantages to enjoy to the fullest. With the official alloted government holidays, it has gotten more power to them. Cheering till their throats reach the point of saturation, over-excitement, the ganpati dance, everything is beyond any limitation. Having said that, I have a complaint against myself for growing up. Losing the fun and excitement for Ganesh Chaturthi is something I cannot digest though it's only because of my loss in faith in all these Gods for I've known that Nature is a better God and when I say that, I don't think the Gods will be offended too.
