LALBAUGCHA RAJA – 2009

Ganpati Bappa Morya !

Day before yesterday, we all celebrated Ganpati Visarjan which is a part of the Lord Ganesha’s festival. We were busy preparing Prasaad since morning that day which included Modak, Chana Dal, Kheer, Nariyal Ke Pede, Fruits and many more.

This festival is celebrated with much enthusiasm in Indore. I think the reason for this is that in Indore there are more Maharashtrian families than any other place of Madhya Pradesh. With the grace of the Bappa, Indore and nearby region was blessed with rains that day and it’s been raining since. I had visited nearby temple called Nath Mandir on Ganesha Chaturthi and the temple was decorated beautifully.

I would like to share a few photographs of this great festival with you all.

Below are beautifully combined words describing the importance of ‘Family’ that I would like to share with you all.

Tranquility of Village

Dear All,

First of all, let me start writing this post by apologizing to you all for coming back after so many days. I was going through several steps of computer rejig that were pending for the last few months. In the mean time, many important days have also come and gone, and yes, belated happy independence day to you.

Everything is set now and after such a rigorous task, I was looking for a change that I found in going for a trip to a nearby village with my family and believe me, I took a very decent decision. Weather of the Malwa Region, that day, was so generous that we enjoyed the entire day. We were so close to the nature (please see photographs). Serene beauty of the nature and farms was completely out of this world. We also stopped on a cabbage and maize farms en route to the village. Smell of roasted corns with lemon and salt was priceless. We did enjoy some of the different varieties of corn that are sown in this region in considerable amount. I was felling disenchantment with the urban life.

If you can, then please give yourself a surprise by deciding on a holiday to go to a nearby village and enjoy the abyss beauty of nature and lives of persons there.

You can see “Bhutta” (Corn) vendors squatting on the side of the road and calling you to taste it.
