The GANESHA UTSAV by the road

Today, actually a few hours back....It was like any other year of the usual ganesha idol getting carried around in a procession all over the streets near by.I shuold say hat it was gettin all glitzy wid all pomp n show all over.Iv alwasy loved the heavy sounds of fast beating drums to which i always wanted to go n shake a leg[AM a very very very bad dancer], but alwsy have held back coz my mom is aroun....n also think dat il make a fool out of myself in there.The show is very grand to be frank and it gets even better with every passing year.Very entertaining, very much colourfull n very much lively.
BUT BUT BUT BUT.......tis not a one of show, the ganesh chathurthi is long over, n here there are still people celebrating the festival, not because they are all very huge worshippers of the lord but what i think is just becoz of the fact that they don`t want to be held behind with almost evry other group in a locality celebrating it.Still no harm i think , everybody loves to show off, but i still feel its a very huge investment that is being made into it n it could be put to better use.Today with the country almost being held to ransom by a bunch of cowardly bastards who decide to bomb evry place, all such occassions do bring people together, but if the same money was put into maybe the help of the flood victims in bihar, or to an NGO working towards a noble cause it would really be something that will truly be appreciated.If all such gropus come together and maybe celebrate this together , then there will probably a bigger show n also there will also lotsa money saved...afer all like the saying goes " MANY HANDS MAKE THE WORK LIGHTER"...rite....N this money can most definitely be put to better use
