Our tradition created in early 70's continued this year also. I remember, going for Ganpati Dharshan with granny in 70's. I was tired after three hours of walking, but kept mum, because I can not say no to granny, who kept pushing us for '
dharshan' of next
'pundal', few feet away. Her energy, enthusiasm, excitement and fun element pulled us that night.
For last few years we visit peth area at least for one night. This year it was more crowded and night was also very hot. So we skipped our usual beat of Dagru Seth - Mandai - Jogeshwari route. Instead we parked near 1306, did a small round of Bajirao Road - Sadhashiv Peth - Saras Baug. For the first time Amar Hinduja and family joined us. Ravi was supposed to join us.
Here are few pictures of that night.

Well, if you ask me, this was more of a walk for eating out then Ganpati Dharshan. Hope 'Vighna Harta' will understand and give us blessings, after all we made some attempt.
