What's the matter guys....are you home sick??
Its day 77, so we are almost home.
Sita says that she wishes that she could actually back in Mumbai today for the Ganesha Festival.
It is a day on which Lord Ganesha is believed to bestow his presence on earth for all his devotees and is celebrated as the birthday of Lord Ganesha.

Of course the swine flu pandemic has put a damper on celebrations in certain states....whilst in other states, the festival will be used to promote swine flu awareness, and masks will be distributed as well.
Hmm, I think that in one way it is a good thing that it will be a smaller celebration because it will decrease the environmental impact of the immersion of so many plaster idols into the water!!
Ouch, Prasad has just punched me in the arm. He enjoys this festival immensely and doesn't appreciate my comments!!
