The day after

It was “anant chaturdashi” or ganesh visarjan. When finally lord Ganesh bid us bye. A sweet and sour memory. When he came we danced with joy, when he left we danced…with tears in eyes and urging him with “pudhchya varshi lavkar ya (come early next time)”. The day after seem to be reflected with empty pandals and stands for directing visrajan. Stale flowers strewn, gulal /pink color and fire cracker waste covered the ground. Boards of political leaders wishing “happy ganesh chaturthi” standing lone and apart. It surely brings a lump in throat and emptiness in heart, and in mind still saying “pudhchya varshi lavkar ya”
