dis is something abt Part XXIV
dahihandi :

Donning this avatar of Natkhat Gopal and his troupe, people in Maharashtra mark this auspicious occasion by breaking "Dahi Handis" on the second day of Janmashtami. Mumbai and Pune witness the placing of Dahi Handis (clay pots filled with curd) that lay suspended high above the ground, in almost every "gully" of the cities. Then, different troupes of youngsters, known as "Govinda Pathaks" travel across the city and take on the challenge to break as many Handis as possible.

Amidst the chants of "Aala Re Aala! Govinda Aala" and bearing the force of water being splashed at them incessantly by onlookers to prevent them from breaking the Handis, Govinda Pathaks form human pyramids to reach the Handi and break it. However, it isn't as easy as it sounds. Some of these Handis lay suspended atleast 30-50 Feet above the ground, and it takes every ounce of strength of each member of the team, and practice, persistence, precision and perfection to the core, to achieve their goal. And the troupe that breaks the Handi, is showered with praises and rewards.

Hence, there is stiff competition among varied groups of Govinda Pathaks as at stake is not just the pride of their group, but also hefty rewards; for the higher the Handi, the greater the reward.

@Opti....Again a fantastic update which shows the groW*H of the relationship between the couple.

And the resolution of the Sameera issue, ends that chapter of the past in Maan's life. Thus enabling Maan and Geet to start on their new journey afresh. This is my perspective about how Maan and Geet feel....but what Sameera feels. well that's a different issue altogether...😛

Sameera's character is an enigma coz she lets others see what she wants them to see and everything else is hidden....It will be a treat to see her unraveling

The last line seems to forebode some upheaval in Maan and Geet's life. It is like the calm before a storm....I'm intrigued....😊


Thanks Kavi. Yes, Sam's issue had to be sorted out if Maaneet had to move on and Geet had to hear it from Sam's mouth that she has moved on. Sam appears to have moved on too. Lets see how her life shapes up. In the original I had a separate track for her because the actress who played her part was liked by many although she turned negative. I'm not sure whether to retain that track or shorten it to just let the readers know what happens to her life because here Sam is a character which has not yet been introduced and readers may not feel for her as much. I will be changing the story here a little to make it more believable than the original.

Don't worry the next update will be a happy one.

Thanks preethia. I'm a Christian so I've not celebrated any of these festivals myself but have seen it celebrated around me. Yes, they will constantly be learning things about each other and their understanding will keep growing. True, Sam is the best things in Maneet's life.

Sarvajanik Ganesh Chaturthi

Ganesh Chaturthi is the blessed day when Lord Ganesha appears to confer happiness to the people on earth. Also called Vinayaka Chaturthi, Ganesha Festival is celebrates the birthday of the Lord. It is observed for 10 days, starting from Shukla Chaturthi till Ananta Chaturdashi (Hindu dates fall between month of August or September) throughout the country.

Mumbai, the Financial Hub of India, commemorates this event in really extravagant style, with utmost devotion. It's the time when streets bustle with devotees and huge 'pandals' (canopies) are set up, housing the idols of Lord Ganesha - the Lord of Beginnings, Wisdom, Prosperity and Good Fortune. Every nook and corner of the city appears drenched in the celebrations, excitement and enthusiasm. However, the preparations for this festival start 2-3 months before the event, with the making of clay models of the Lord.

On the festive day, the idol is placed on elevated platforms in homes or outdoor canopies, where people come to pray. A red silk dhoti is worn by the priest, who invokes life in the idol by chanting mantras (ritual known as Pranapratishtha). Followed by this, Shhodashopachara (16 ways of paying tribute) is done. Later the idol is smeared with red unguent (rakta chandan). While doing all the rituals, hymns from the scriptures like Rig Veda, Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and Ganesh Stotra are chanted.

For complete ten days, Lord Ganesh is worshipped with whole-hearted devotion. The image is taken into a procession, where devotees dance and sing to their heart's content on the 11th day. Eventually, the idol is immersed in the sea with reverence. Throughout the procession, people yell 'Ganapathi Bappa Morya, Purchya Varshi Laukariya' which means 'O Father Ganesh! Come again early next year'. Ganesh Chaturthi is a great festival of religious and social fervor, which presents a valuable insight, especially in Mumbai.
