Ganesh Chaturthi signifies new beginnings for me. That does not mean leaving your past behind, but learning from your past and incorporating those lessons in new beginnings. I love visiting not only my relatives' places but also pandals to have a look at the aesthetically designed idols. I am eagerly looking forward to the Ganpati festivities this year!
Ishita Ganguly aka Anushka of Shastri Sisters said:
"Since I hail from Kolkata, I have not really celebrated the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi before. Bombay is a city that has cohesiveness engrained in its culture and Ganesh Chaturthi, I have learnt is the evidence to that. I am certainly excited to experience the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi in Mumbai."
Sonal Vengurlekar aka Devyani of Shastri Sisters said:
"My family and I bring Ganpati bappa home every year for a day and a half. My most favourite part of the festival is playing host to all the guests who grace our home to worship the idol. The festival is a blessing in disguise because I get to meet relatives and friends who I have not seen in a while. I love the magnificence during the last day Ganesh Chaturthi - the visarjan!"

"Since I am a big foodie, I look forward to all the goodies I can get my hands on during the Ganpati season. For me, the festival signifies hope and faith. The faith with which worshippers take blessings from the Lord, I believe, is their wish fulfilled halfway. The hope that people bestow in the Lord returning next year to bless their homes is tremendous. I love how this festival takes the level of Bombay's vibrant energy another notch higher."
