It was easy,easy being a daughter,where mom took care of everything,where you had to do nothing but enjoy everything,the festivals,the food and the relatives and kids, and friends,pets, everything.No responsibility taken completely,everything was takencare of and always a kid no matter what the age is,and then suddenly you get married and grow up,you do certainly.
Howmuch ever you are pampered by hubby dear a sense of responsibility always reels in your head,right from servant to relatives to friends and to the house itself,you feel responsibile for everything and everyone.Now its up to us how we deal with it,Its a girl thing i would say,Only a woman can change herself and put her self into a new image whenever it is needed.And accept a new house,people and person into her life and they suddenly form the crux of her life.
Yesterday was the first festival after my wedding,i dint want to go to mom's place,wanted to do it here,at my house,wanted to show it to mom that i can handle it all,I did,Dint i ma:)
Now the glimpses of yesterday,glimpses of my life,which i own,i care and nurture ,and i am responsible for it to be the best,and i give my best,i try,and one day i want to be perfect,Just like you ma...
And thats the end to a day well spent,with hubby who with his silence says it all,with friends who screamed at top of their voices,but whatever the form of expression maybe,i just know they all love me for what i am,and i love them all for being with me always.
I have a tomorrow to look forward to, i am off to dreaming about it.Have a wonderful week ahead guys:)

Welcome
Skyline from the balcony
Preparing for the Puja
Decorating
Naivedyam.
Om
Ready for the katha
And the evening brought friends home,And i welcomed them with diyas.
And the rain brought mist and beauty with it.
And thats the end to a day well spent,with hubby who with his silence says it all,with friends who screamed at top of their voices,but whatever the form of expression maybe,i just know they all love me for what i am,and i love them all for being with me always.
I have a tomorrow to look forward to, i am off to dreaming about it.Have a wonderful week ahead guys:)

so what puja was this?
and you have decorated your place so beautifully, I am envious as we don't do so many preperations here for puja's.
how could i forget! .. this was the perfect first festival to host yourselves after marriage, Ganesh ji - we say his name before we start any good job :)
Hey Neels, Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.. will call u tonight.. :)
hey firstly happy ganesh chaturthi,
very well said... the best time of ones life is the childhood away from all the responsibilities and other stuff.
responsibility in itself a is a huge word with recursively deep meaning.. i would say even after 20 odd yrs i still feeel that i havent aquired any of the traits that my folks wished me to do so....
i doesnt matter i am 24 44 84 to my parents i would still be a kid and the best part about it....
hey you have been TAGGED ;)
cya soon
bye
u can call me vx
So u did it all alone :)
i liked hte decoaration of Om, Diyas and flowers.
We dont do it in our house. So every year we go to my uncle's place on Ganesh Chaturthi. It's a time to rejoice !
Wow! All by yourself! Doesn't it feel great? Since we dont have parents and in laws living close by, we also have to do our pujas and rituals on our own. But I am not sure if we do it right. Yours look really grown up! Happy Ganesh Chaturthi!
it surely looks very beautiful... I am sure ur mom must be proud of u.. Here also one of the families here invited us for Pooja.. We had a nice pooja.. all of us prepared 1 item, so we all had lunch together... It was really nice... I missed home so much at Pooja time...
well done aalapana.your mom must be proud of you.
Wowww...NEellu, that was a great post..so full of life and I must say we had a great evening together :)
What you said about mother is so, so true... Good that you handled it alone. Wonderful decorations.

Ganesh Chaturthi chyaa Haardik Shubhechha !!
Hoping you are Marathi [;-)]. anyhow, do you celebrate for the entire 10 days? I remember we had a whale of a time in school when we had half days for 9 of those days and a holiday on the Visarjan. REALLY miss those times.

Ganesha Chathurthi has always been a special occasion for me, right from childhood. The small mud idol. the flowers, fruits.. a time of expressing our richness and thanking Lord Almighty for the same.
The visit to the beach on the third day to immerse the idol in the sea. All these were great times..!
Your post sure made me nostalgic. These are little things which leave a great imprint on children and their lives.
Like Hip Grandma said, your mother shall be proud of you.!
Thanks for the post.!
With Best Regards,
Srijith Unni.
it is a girl thing i guess ..responsibilty does come into our lives with a lot of pleasure ....
nice pics and you did enjoy very well ...
yoru ma would definitely be proud of you .
cya
Ash
and that is why mamas teach us all the little things so that we implement it when we get married. I hope you had a good puja.
