HEY PPL WISH U ALL A ADVANCE VINAYAKA CHATURTHI....
Just now stepped into Home from Ganesha Shopping... Sounding Strange????
Yeah usually we go for shopping for Ourselves... But now its d tym for sum nice shopping for Mr Ganesha.....
Ok let me name ths shopping----- Well it would be perfect wit Mission - Vinayak. You know why Guys... Cos its wasnt that easy to get into d Bazaar today... The Bazaar was mad with people, people and people... It was a total havoc let loose...
Ok First Got Started with Some Flowers.... I almost got dizzy when i heard d price of flowers.....
20 bugs........!!!!!!!!!! Oh god.. Usually its jus 5- 8 Rupees.....
Next in d list all those decoration items ..... Those things that are available free in a garden or Road side trees are charged at a Whooping price.... Whatever you touch from d road side vendor will cost anythin less than 5 or 10 bugs.....
The main one in the list is d Idol of Lord Ganesha...
Have heard ppl shoutin Black Tickets in Theatres... Tht was wat i was reminded when i went to vendor and asked d price... 20 , 40,60,80... This was wat d response i got... I almost felt he didnt know anythn else than those 4 numeric... Was as a machine repeatin to everyone passing by even to those jus whiling away time by walkin around.... thts d funniest part of it.... Could not control my laughter there( though i did control not to sound too funny before my Mum....)
There s actually no value for something called One Rupee or Two Rupee......
Gone are the period of Bargaining.... If you can afford the Price the vendor Orders you,,, you are allowed to stay or please Get lost from d place asap......... The Sad Plight is today people are left to the mercy of these small scale Vendors....
Yes... Celebrations once was rejoiced with lots of love and True devotions to God... But today the inflation has almost touched the sky making it a hard living for the Common Man....
Today Festivals induce a Fear of Unaffordable Spendings and a big whole in the family budget....
People still carry on traditions and customs despite the huge expenditure to show their Love towards their God... And Moreover this s d only time for a family get together and also Cultivate the learning of Ones Religious values among Children or d relatively Younger generation......
But at d end of day whether you spends in Hundreds to have a Splendid Celebrations or be a Simple home made offering to a Old picture of Vinayaka....... Love and Devotion only Counts.......
Wish you all a happy Vinayaka Chaturthi Once Again
