Shooooo!!!!.... Am in a serious 'state' ;-)

Now all of you who happen to read tis post.... Do take it in the rite n lite sense! :)
As a tiny lil four year old i loved watching the 'nandi bail' with all the drumwallas n dancers saunter through our dadar lanes. Just as enjoyable was to see the 'govindas' form the pyramids n break the matkaas with balloons n water splashing from all sides n the latest of songs playing in the backgroung! :-)
With Ganesh Chaturthi nearing, in a matter of a week, the most amazing of ganesh pandals would come up on all sides wid real huge Ganesh murtis, long long queues outside the sarvajanik pandals, loud music n a very lively atmosphere! :-) I remember going to shivaji park every year n standing on the streets wid my brother n mum till late nite watchin the biggest of murtis n the most high profile mandals line up to bid adieu to their favourite Lord.
Navratri was something i really looked forward to! No 10pm deadline then!... Music.. dance.. good food.. friends n tons of funn!! :-) Managed picking up a few garba n dandiya steps n was overwhelmed the first time i completed one full round widout missing a single beat!! ;-)

I've been in the south for more than six years now. Beautiful place wid nice warm people bt like it or not.... it surely is a dull state! Just too much of seriousness everywhere! No processions, no celebrations.... festivals come n festivals go.... jus too many strict rituals to follow... people who r proud of their roots (n they should be :)) bt not very flexible personalities.. Intellects for sure, bt donno how to let themselves loose! :-( ... They prolly like to live the 'silent' way!!!
Am sure ther will be many saying tats their way of enjoyement n i totally agree! The definition of 'enjoyement' differs from person to person! But it somewhere does reflect the personality or the mindset of that individual or crowd! N surely the upper part of the country scores in this category- Lively.. fun loving... carefree :-)
This is what i have seen of people here in the past six years.... you may agree or disagree....
But you cant ignore the fact tat the 'fun' element does majorly lack here!!! :-( .. N its sometimes nice to accept the brighter side of something/somebody else n not hv ur reasons proved jus to keep ur ego unhurt :)
So here goes a 'CHEERS' to the more joyful n vibrant lot! :-)))


P.S- I have nothing against any southindian! ;) Infact love them n married to one!! :)
But its just My blog.... My voice!
CHEERS! :-)))
