Bill's story & Sy's tale....

[Guest guest]

Namaste Alobarji,

 

New Orleans! Wowwww! This place is right next to my heart too after

seeing some postcards and photos from a friend who visited America.

Admire the charms of the place, especially the old quarters.

 

Mardi Gras is big in Sydney too but unfortunately, the folks here

have never adorned Ganesh befitting His Lordship during any parades.

Dumbos over here, most of us are..

 

Om Ganesh

older sibling. Maybe like the love I have for sunsets or the awe I

have for hurricanes.

is a big art of local life, so Ganesh is festooned with beads & is

wearing a feathered mask. As Yuletide approaches, Ganesh wears a

Santa hat. Ganesh likes money, so he wears a necklace of paper

money & has a pot of coins before him. But all is done in playful

respect. I feel like a kid again around Ganesh even as he teaches

me to bear the responsibilities of being an adult. Same is true of

other deities as well. It is about me opening my heart up to have

a personal relationship with them.

The Hindus here have a Ganesh float for Mardi Gras. Other parades

have caught on & also include Ganesh. I am fortunate to live in such an

eclectic city.

Salutations Alobarji,

 

I am never envious of anything or anyone but now I'll have to say:

Gee, I'm damned envious and wish I'm in New Orleans too.

 

You are indeed blessed to live in such an eclectic city.

 

Om Ganesh
