Touchy Topics

-
The radio ads are so suggestive. When I am travelling in the car with the driver, it is actually embarrassing to listen to the kind of content which is being spewed.

The festive season has come starting with Raksha Bandhan next week, followed by Janmashtmi, Ganpati and we are on a roll. The shops do not have the festive stuff or the festive look. The Giri Puja Store sales person said that people shop for Ganpati in the last five days. In other words, "Kindly do not be so enthusiastic and come so early asking for stuff which is still in shipment". Me thinking of planning and getting things in advance to avoid the festival rush is not a good idea. I do last minute stuff only for my personal things and the school projects. Those are things where all laziness creeps in.
Am amazed at the number of vacations people are taking. Long weekend and short weekend, train and road travel, Tashkent and Thane, people are moving all the time. I have become one of those Bombayites who think their world starts and ends with Mumbai. The travel bug has not hit me. I have issues travelling from home to Kandivili. Do you think I will be left behind in my quest of the world? How much can I surf the net and expect to learn and remember? Do I not need short breaks as those fashion magazines suggest? Isn't it supposed to be rejuvenating and bringing the spark in your life? I am not even eating less at home, the magazines are suggesting that I do not binge on vacations. The holidays come with a different sets of dos and don'ts. There is nothing like a relaxing holiday. I do not even sit still at home, so I have to utilise the vacation by packing in enough sightseeing or things to do.

 I thought Spontaneous is not me, except in my writing. Every thing else is thought out and weighed in terms of money, time and relationships. "What will be the impact of it?" is the most important question which is leading my life. Its like, I want to write and I am so worried if the writing will have some thoughts which I have heard from friends. I do not want to offend them. The family will know who I am writing about or which incident I am referring to, so I will not touch those topics. 'Touchy Topics' is what I am scared of. I cant believe that I will be able to write without offending anyone. Friends say something and I am dying to write a post about it with my views but I know they are my readers. I write for you and I am scared of you. What if you get upset about it? I do not know how fearless writers are. I am not willing to look at it. Right now, it is about leaving touchy topics alone. Am not happy when I make faux pax while talking. At least you are tolerant of my writings. Will I be forgiven if I write on touchy topics? All of us have different touchy topics. What is yours?

Nange Paon in Navratri

-
When I was working and staying in the hostel, I kind of stopped believing in most festivals and rituals. I thought all this was some weird things which people did, it had no scientific base and why should I follow anyone. In the college hostel, vacations were time to go home and not connected with any festival except Diwali. Sophia College hostel was a cocoon in the heart of South Mumbai. The campus with an old palace building was a quiet oasis with trees and birds, in the mayhem of Mumbai. No festival touched it unless the college celebrated it. The Polytechnic had rock shows and one Dandiya night every year, which it soon stopped having by 1988. Only celebration was the Vegetable Biryani in lunch on Sundays. The Polytechnic hostel did not even believe in pampering the children with food. Memories of bread being there round the clock for breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner. For them, while the non vegetarians ate eggs for breakfast, the vegetarian had bread. And then when non vegetaria

Antakshari

-
Today we were playing antakshari at the Holi get together. We did not know any new songs so naturally only the golden melodies were being sung. The whole generation playing antakshari was singing the similar era songs on the alphabets they got. I realised a couple of things. In English language there is no game like Antakshari. How many sentences end with I or The? How can you sing when most songs start with I, The, Once, When and How?I cannot resist explaining the game, we all grow up with, in India. Antakshari means Ant : end , Akshar: alphabet ie last letter of the word. Akshar also means God. It also means God has the last word. Its a game with two teams and we call the teams as  'party'.  We say "Baithey baithey kya karein, karna hai kuchh kaam, shuru karo antakshari , le ka Hari ka naam." Translated from Hindi, We are sitting idle, lets do some work, lets start antakshari, starting with God's name. In Indian games, there is a lot of religion or belief in Go

Shraddh period in Hinduism

-
According to the Hindu calendar, this is the shraddh period going on.  For fifteen days in a year, the ancestors are remembered and prayed to. No auspicious events / ceremonies take place in this time. People use the tithi/date of death to invite a Pandit and feed the departed soul. It means you remember the person passed away, give food to the Pandit and the crows. People keep a cooked meal on the terrace. They try to make the favourite food of the departed person. My memories are of my Grandma mixing and crushing all the savouries with her hands and when it was in form of  a paste, my Uncle would go to the terrace and throw the food for the crows. Crows in Hinduism are considered messengers of the departed souls. A lot of people feed Gathiyas to the crows for the full year. If your ancestors are happy, then your life goes well ,is the general belief amongst Hindus. The shraddh period falls exactly between Ganpati and Navratri. One does not buy a house or have a wedding in this time.
