Its navratri time again. Its not much fun here in Bombay as it is in Gujarat.

Love the way everybody dances there in true traditional style.

Here its just a musical evening with singers with little talent belting out hindi numbers and most of the public just listening to the songs. Not much dance happens.

Remember the navratris during school days. They always used to clash with emester exams and we ued to get to dance only on weekends that too after finishing studies. We used to look forward to navratris during those days.

It has just become a nuisance now with people just wearing designer clothes and showing off. And the 10 pm deadline just seems to have killed the entire thing.

Ganpati, Navratri, Dussehra and then diwali followed by new years...somehow the enthusiasm seems to have died a long time ago for these festivals. Is it just me or is this the same with everyone? I wonder....
