Ganesha Chaturthi at Magnolia ... one more first in a chain of firsts at Magnolia

4th Sunday at Magnolia. Can no more claim to be a newcomer at Magnolia. Surely not after celebrating our first festival of beloved Ganapathi Bappa. Doors festooned with flowers, all furniture displaced so we can have a proper pooja place for Ganesha, the music, agarbathi and smiles all around and a ton of eating. There were friends moving in and out, my nephew and niece came over and the mood was festivity. There was a larger percentage of eco-friendly (not painted, as you can see in the picture) Ganesha being sold in Jayanagar 9th block Ganesha bazar and we decided to contribute to being green by staying away from the painted versions of Ganesha.

In all, it was a great note to have completed the first month at Magnolia ... time, indeed, flies. There were a few more families moving in during the week. Mr Rizwan and his neigbour in block B, Sangeetha and family in Block C. We are quickly approaching the magic 2 digit 10 number of families living here. Srini(vasa Shastry) is moving in tomorrow. I am sure that will make the place come alive much more.

As always, i close this blog with a welcome to the rest of you who would be moving into Magnolia soon.

Vimala, my dad and my children join me in wishing you all a phenomenal Ganesha Chaturthi and life ahead that is stripped of all the obstables, bad and unhappy things.

Have a great week ahead ...
