*Its a lazy Sunday morning and its raining cats and dogs outside while I smash my last but one blog on the comp....my heart today is a little sad for the Ganapatti Visarjan that we did for our home idol yesterday ....as I write this my eyes are moist like my window panes drenched in rain water .....

*the place I went for Visarjan that  to drown my Bappa was replete with small and big Ganpattis of all colours , sizes and all forms and designs....they were all beautiful needless to say and some even rode on planes and mobikes...Cute idols ...as I write this I cannot but wonder---like the Ganpatii that came and went friends life goes on.....

*While bidding farewell to our dear elephant God...I saw all kinds of emotions there including me who cried a bit as my Bappa was taken by a volunteer to be immersed in the tank-full of 'created holy waters' .....

*I could see the crown shining till it was fully immersed and promised to myself that ----the year  will be for me as shining as the jewels on his little crown....till it will be time for the next!! Life goes on....

Anu's Chatter..

Today the Lord looks beautiful laden with flowers and my home smells of incense..and sandalwood...But this festival reminds of the year that turned so very fast in the  twinkle of an eye.

The turning of an year makes me nostalgic reminds me of those people who are in my life like-my mom,  or my other  close family and ...and  my old friends...one such friend I must mention here ....I am missing today immensely....who went through a bad divorce and moved away from this country itself..I lost touch with her but she is right here in my heart..this festive season is dedicated to her and to all of my friends in the past who were a part of my existence  and made my world worth - a - while. Besides this particular friend...has run away far but she happens to be celebrity in a way so I have found  her... I will keep you updated ..keep reading. What? My blogs!

I have been maha busy guys following a ritual that I am keeping now for years....I love it! This year also I was at the pendal to collect my perfect bundle ...Ganesha..

Amidst all this keeping up with the Blogathon was a real challenge...any ways bringing Ganesha home brings in a lot of happiness ..personal happiness! Somehow the whole atmosphere at home changes...the flowers, and the agarbattis set the mood starting at the pen dal  where I collect him...when I went there..

The old artisan of the pen dal was  in a more festive mood...he announced that he was no more an artisan..he was equal ant to the lord on my hands ready to come home....

"So?" I ask.

" You have to give me some dakshina madam."

" Yes I know but let me first see my lord."

He obliged in his toothless smile.

The lord looked perfect laden with the white and other colored stones as his jewelry, as requested by me.

" I am happy he looks so good..now for your dakshina I say"handing him over, a 50 and a one rupee note.

He says "Thank you."his toothless words.

I respond--"Ganpati bappa morya."

He joins.."Pudche varshi loukari ya."

These are mahar ashtrian words guys ......please find the meaning and you will feel as happy as I am feeling now!

According to a survey finding the right partner is the most difficult thing in this world.....this survey was conducted by the most sought after marriage cite  in India....Shadi.com . After I chanced on this survey ...... I went on Google (Google is God) and searched for the average age for marriage of a working Indian girl and came off with some surprising facts actually...... 

1) Indian working women do not want to get married.

2) Most of the working women in India are unmarried and above thirty.

Now the most important fact...they are getting good grooms but they do not want to take responsibility.....or they are divorced by thirty as they did not find their partners up to the mark!

As for me I thanked my lucky stars for being  married and finding  my husband ....I do not want any changes and yes I love responsibility!

Hi Guys it is ten thirty in the night and I am pounding on my machine to finish my 25th blog for the marathon.....I am so happy now I am coming to the end of the marathon and self imposed one at that .....five more to go..in the midst of all this Guys I wanted to share a regular event that irritates me the most nowadays to no end----

 I come across a woman in my vicinity and got to talking the random talk....she wanted to know what I do( she lives in the same locality as I do for the past ten years)...this is regular question now with most women around and they think that I am a home maker ..when she heard that I am a writer and have just finished and published a book she was like-----Good everybody should be busy doing something or the other in life to keep themselves busy ...Lol there  goes all my achievements into the dust..After this demoralizing, demotivating chat , I decided to select people  before talking to them ..or to keep my mouth shut ....what say?

Shah Rukh's on my face book account dears and the thought that he posted on the wall today stuck to me like glue...
" Action may not always bring happiness....but there is no happiness without action"So very true it is really really true about my writing at least....

I take my writing seriously....

Anu's  Chatter....

I take my writing seriously guys........whether it is two sentenses or it is ten or a thousnad words I have to write ....I sit on my machine and work at least two to three hours  or more ..some days I write as if I am mad , as if the world will end,as if there will be a calamity as if...... if I don't know what .........but I write becuase I take my writing seriously!

Now that I started with my second book I am busy writing that most of the time when I find time.....I have already completed a script of 255 pages and more to follow as it is reaching a climax this is when the Ad-reline starts to pump...the thought is how to end it and how not to..in the process of all this I need to complete at least one blog per day or my Marathon stops....... the days guys I cannot post one I post two the next day or three so that the days I am out taking my journalism sessions my Marathon should not suffer....

I tend to think and sometimes think very deep....is life the way  it is because we make it or because it was supposed to be? to hold or not to hold or to hang on to dear one or not to? Is it all about what and how you handle life or it should just happen and flow ...sometimes I contemplate all this and cannot come to a sane conclusion....that allusive word called happiness just eludes me....and finally I decide to shut my mind and turn to my only source of happiness called-------WRITING!

Need not figure who you are...

Friends.....today I have read an amazing few sentences from a post by an American wanderlust ....that is going to stay by me.....It is like------
"You need not figure out who you are at 20, 25, or 35 ...or even 45 but need to live by the hour, feel thankful for all the stability and love around you and that is ------life! This I read in the morning when I was contemplating about life big time! Have a happy day!
