The day was a little tiring but good. Ganeshotsav began today. This is the third year that we did Ganesh Puja at home and it turned out decent. The work was cut out from the beginning. My mom would do the maximum, including the management part, I would be the cheap labour while Dad would be useless. All of us did our part well. Dad did take care of the decorations, albeit a little late :P which pissed my Mom off so!
Things went off smoothly. The only crazy part was when my Mom wanted to burn cow dung cakes with "Dhuno" ( I don't know what it is called in English. That's what it is called in Bengali ) Now a lot of times it can also be done using coconut fibre. But this time Mom thought of doing something different. Question was, in what do we burn it? After a lot of serious discussion, it was upon me to find an aluminium vessel from the kitchen. (I cannot find anything in the kitchen, actually I cannot find anything when told to do so). So after a lot of searching I found the vessel in which Mom used to make cakes. I reasoned, what better vessel than this. Cow dung cakes burnt in a baking vessel :P (Anyways the way it looked, I didn't think she was ever going to use it again, given the fact that I do not remember the last time she made cake at home :P) You should have seen the look she gave me when I showed it to her! I almost burnt down to ashes right there. "Waapas rakh ke aa!" Main izzat se waapas rakh aaya :D
Had a lot of guests over in the evening. Its fun when our gang gets together :) Went to a few houses and by the time I got done, I could have killed someone if someone suggested, "Have a modak". As a result no result.
Another thing I discovered today is that there are some Shivneri buses going to Pune which has Nerul as a pick up point and goes via Kothrud. If this works out then it'll be perfect for me :D I just pray it is! Got late tickets for tomorrow so that I have the full day. The bus starts from Borivali at 7:00 pm, so should be here by 8:30.
I have also realized that my Ma can get really crazy at times. She just called me on my cell from the next room to get some chore done! I am happy to know that my mom is also partly responsible for my craziness apart from my dad :P
