Celebration of an awesomely unique relation!

Hello everyone. Welcome! By god's grace, I hope all’s well with you! 😊

There are many kinds of relations in our lives.

That of friends, within the family; our mother, etc.

Within our family relations,

There’s an awesome connection! 🤔😲

In English, it’s known as aunt...

In Deutsch or the language of Germany, they say Tante. In Marathi, it’s known as काकू/Kaku.

Although the word aunt has various meanings in various languages,

One of the meanings is; father’s brother’s wife….

My reason for calling this relation unique,

Is because

This is one of the support of the Indian family; or should I say? Once used to be…

Due to the families slowly getting smaller and smaller,

This aunt is sadly beginning to vanish somewhere.

If luckily, the family’s together that’s to say lives in one house,

Then this aunt factor balances the workload of the home.

We only visit our extended family now during the festive season.

To be happy and to be relieved from this stressful world for a while,

Families should try and come together more often.

I consider myself lucky that my aunt, behaves with me more like a friend!

Can this openness,

Become the answer to today’s commonly observed, stressed family relations? 🤔

How’s your experience? Any memories?

Or, what do you think about; Aunt?

do share in the comments! 😊

!from celebrations! To satisfaction. How’s the transition?

Hello Friends!

Ganapati Bappa! Morya! गणपती बाप्पा! मोरया!

As the celebrations of Ganesh Chaturthi are in full swing and

The cheerful atmosphere is being sweetened by the prasadam of Modak,

The thought of visiting my beloved Bappa smiled in my mind and we took immediate action!

The joy, surprises? Or just for fun.

Whatever you call it, traveling can be as great as the rising sun!

Began our journey to the city of dreams, Mumbai!

From cracking jokes, munching on food to a coincidental sound of the band Baja,

We were greeted by the navsachi line at Lalbagcha Raja!

around  noon we joined the queue heading towards the Lalbagcha Raja.

At first, the excitement was all high!

Soon, my nice misunderstanding of; it’ll be just 1 or 2 hours and we’ll be there!

Disappeared in the trickles of sweat and roar of hunger.

Then, motivation came from the cheery voices of people saying Ganapati Bappa Morya!

But you know what? After a few more hours, the legs shift to auto-walking, mode..

Ignoring the mentally ticking stopwatch, trying my best to keep the sleepy body awake,

Finally we saw it, the idol of the Lalbagcha Raja and

For the first time in so many hours of turning at intersections of the line, trudging along,

the excitement, the energy returned in full force to shout, Ganapati Bappa! Morya!!

I just got a minute or so in front of Bappa.

But the experience was so, so divinely amazing….

In that moment you forget your tensions, your exhaustion or,

I might even say, that you forget even yourself.

This feeling itself, isn’t this the real god?
