A DEV(EM)OTIONAL GOODBYE.

Much awaited day

Of the year

Another facet of Mumbai-

THE happening city.

Sea of people

Walking towards the Sea

Religion, caste and class-

Forgotten

Dancing, singing, making merry

Blaring music,

A song here

Another there –

Creating a fusion of sorts

Above the rhythmic beating

Of the drums.

People walking,

Standing and watching

Some more queuing

For free snacks and drinks .

Order among chaos

Lakhs congregate

To bid emotional

Adieu to the Elephant God....

Shouting slogans

“Ganapati Bappa Morya

Pudhchya Varshi Lauka Ya.”

{Yesterday was the last of the 10 day Ganesha festival here in India. “Ganapati Bappa Morya Pudhchya Varshi Laukar Ya” – means – O Father Ganapati, come soon next year}
