Last year I missed celebrating Ganesh Festival but this year was different. I thank Ajay and Nalini for inviting all of us to their place to celebrate. During aarti we sang bhajans (devotional songs) in Hindi, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu, truly representing Unity in Diversity :)
Neelu and Ajay read out the ganesh katha ( Story of birth of Lord Ganesh). We all sat around them and listened curiously like small children. After that everyone was busy talking with everyone some new friends exchanged names and formal details and old friends digged deeper.
Women discussed clothes, jewelry, recipes all along cracking jokes and giggling, occasionally burst out laughing loudly in sync thats when men took a break from their work/sports/technology discussion and gave us a stare.
The food was delicious as usual thats because Nalini is a great cook, I wonder how she single handedly manages to cook for so many, she says she 'Loves it' now thats something a Lazy cook like me will never understand :)
