I have been getting Ganpati home for a long time. Ganpati festivities are a way of life. My son Ayaan feels very happy and helps in decoration too. I can't think of a life without Ganpati's blessing. I feel Ganpati Bappa has blessed me with a balance in personal and professional life.
I would be visiting a few friends place for Ganpati. Since the time I came to Bombay, I have been seeing Ganpati Bappa. I love the vibes and atmosphere in the city and like to be part of the celebration. I consider Ganpati Bappa to be a very positive and happy god. I also like to visit Lalbaug ka raja and I also love eating modak.

Thanks to my husband, this will be the 3rd year that we have Bappa coming home. We keep him for only one and a half days and since our entire family thinks a lot about nature, we have only got and will only get eco-friendly Ganesha. The aarti gets a vibration in our home that we haven’t experienced before. It’s a feeling of content for Harshal, Arhaan and all the family. In fact, my son cried the first year when we had to do visarjan. Last year, not only him but all of us were teary-eyed too. But then, we start looking forward to the coming year when we do the visarjan.
I have been celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi for 8 years now and it feels really good. The motive of the festival is to come together and share happiness, that's what Ganpatiji wants. We should be responsible enough and get eco-friendly Ganpati. We should try not to pollute the water. We respect and love lord Ganpati but in another way we disrespect nature by polluting it. So, I feel we should be a bit more responsible and we have to make sure that we celebrate and enjoy a lot but we take care and not pollute water. The last day of Ganesh Chaturthi is the best when we see people dancing with happiness. It’s a very good environment, it gets positive energy in me.
I am in Bulgaria and I would be missing Bappa. This is the first time I would be missing Ganesh Chaturthi. I believe in the power of prayers and being part of Ganpati festivities makes you feel part of the city. I must say Bombay is a cosmopolitan city where all the festivals are celebrated with the same enthusiasm.
I have been getting Ganpati Bappa for many years but this year is very special as it will be my first Ganesh Chaturthi post marriage. I go and get Ganpati personally and this time Ripci is helping me.Ganpati celebration is a permanent thing in my life.
Seven years ago, I had kept Ganpati at home for the first time and did so every year. Now, after two years break, I am getting Ganpati again this year. I am getting an eco-friendly Ganesha and would be decorating it with a variety of flowers. Ganpati is my friend and his blessings have been with me forever. My family will also join in the celebrations.
I am a Jain so Ganesh Chaturthi is very special as we have Shama Divas (Forgiveness day). Since I have been brought up in Mumbai, I have grown up celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi every year. I like to do Ganpati freestyle dance and enjoy the visarjan with my friends. My favourite Ganpati song is Deva Shree Ganesha.
