गणपती बाप्पा मोरया! :-)
यंदा मुंबई, ठाणे व नवी मुंबईत गणेशोत्सवातील कर्णकर्कश आवाजाला रोखण्याचे काम ‘आवाज’ ही स्वयंसेवी संस्था करणार आहे.
गणरायाच्या स्वागताचा अख्खी मुंबापुरी सज्ज झालेली असताना या महाउत्सवावार घातपाती कारवायांचे सावट पडू नये यासाठी मुंबई पोलिसांनी कंबर कसली आहे.
गणेश आगमनाच्या मिरवणुकीत खड्डे अडथळा ठरू नयेत यासाठी युद्धपातळीवर ते बुजविण्याचे काम हाती घेण्यात आले आहे.
काय दिवस आलेत बघा. बाप्पा येताहेत ह्याची चाहूल ह्या बातम्यांनी मिळते आजकाल. :-(
पण तरी मी खूश आहे. आज सकाळी ऒफ़िसात येताना बाजारात झेंडूच्या फ़ुलांच्या माळा तयार करणारे लोक दिसले. भाजीच्या टोपल्यातून डोकावणारी हिरवीगार हळदीची आणि केळीची पानं दिसली. ठिकठिकाणच्या सार्वजनिक गणेशोत्सव मंडपात तयारीची लगबग चालू आहे. काही ठिकाणी पडदे ओढून ठेवलेत तिथे आत बाप्पा आधीच येऊन बसले असणार ह्याची खात्री आहे. त्यामुळे ह्या वर्षी ते कसे दिसत असतील ह्याची खूप उत्सुकता आहे. डिजिकॆमची बॆटरी चार्ज करून ठेवायला हवी. :-)
बाप्पा, आम्ही तयार आहोत, येताय ना?

I guess it is better not to watch certain movies if you want to enjoy their songs. I learnt it the hard way. As I said before on this blog, I like both songs from Murder 2 - हाल-इ-दिल and दिल संभल जा ज़रा. But I was shocked when I got a chance to see a bit of the movie over the weekend. It is so dark and depressing. Wonder who spends their hard-earned money to go watch such movies in the theaters. :-(
Now that Mr. Hazare has finally broken his fast, the net is full of people commenting on whether Om Puri and Kiran Bedi were right or not. I didn't see what Om Puri did though I read his comments. None of us is in a position to determine whether he was right or not unless we do a survey on how many uneducated leaders are honest and doing the work that they were elected to do as against the educated ones who are being corrupt and lazy. The point is that we cannot generalize these things. Uneducated does not necessarily mean bad and corrupt. And if you think a bit more, we are ourselves to be blamed if we are electing people who don't deserve to be there.
But I felt sad when I saw Ms. Bedi waving the Tricolor like a protagonist from some Hindi patriotic movie. The action seemed clearly for the benefit of the cameras that were rolling. And here I was thinking that this woman was made of better stuff :-(
