Shobha Bhaskaran



With Ganpati Celebrations in my building, I always look forward to attend these functions as this is the only time when all members come together to be a part of it. There are performances, fancy dress competitions of all the kids.

Looking at the enthusiasm and confidence of all the kids performing on stage, I was suddenly taken to my childhood back, where even I used to be all excited and dressed up to perform. There were aunties from my building who said I resemble a certain kid as they  have seen me grown up all these years.

I really missed those moments when we used to start practicing almost 3-4 weeks prior to the festival just to win prizes and be at our best. I know realized that prizes seemed nothing, it was only about how bold and confident we are and how we entertain everyone.

Shobha:
was this the only photograph you took? Is that all that going back to your "roots" mean to you? And, if we didn't read what you had written, just by looking at the photo, would we have been able to tell it was about ganpati celebrations?
