"Ek baat bataun? Ganeshotsav aate hi na, main thodi badi nahi… phir se bachchi ban jaati hoon. 🤍" "Bachpan mein Ganeshotsav ka matlab tha ghar ki safai, decorations, Bappa ke aane ki excitement… aur family ke saath woh chhoti-chhoti khushiyaan. Society mein celebration ka mahaul, ghar mein pooja ki taiyaari… har jagah ek alag hi energy hoti thi." "Tab shayad samajh nahi aata tha ki yeh festival itna special kyun hai. Lekin aaj jab peeche mudkar dekhti hoon, toh realise hota hai… Ganeshotsav sirf Bappa ko ghar laane ka naam nahi hai. Yeh un logon ke saath waqt bitaane ka naam hai, un memories ko jeene ka naam hai, jo humare dil mein hamesha reh jaati hain." "Aaj bhi jab Bappa aate hain, toh woh bachpan wali khushi kahin na kahin wapas aa jaati hai. Shayad isi ko kehte hain… tradition se zyada, ek emotion. Mera Bappa, meri childhood memories, meri kahaani. 🤍 माझा बाप्पा. माझी गोष्ट. आपला गणेशोत्सव. Ganpati Bappa Morya! 🙏"
