Ganesha understands all
3-09-2014
I quit as Editor
Screen in the year 2007 and was still finding my new path in the year 2008 so
for the first time in my life I not working full time and was able to give
Ganesha complete attention. These two years we had breakfast, lunch and dinner
together. We still enjoyed our individual space and spent major part of the day
writing. He wrote destinies while I coped with deadlines of columns and books. At
tea time we discussed our work load. Much against my decision I told him my
problems and I found solace in his kind eyes.
I referred to him
as my friend Ganesha and within close friends I addressed him Gannu. Now more
people knew about his annual visits to my home and friends were so enchanted
with my stories about him that they never missed their date with him. Most of
them brought him modaks/sweets though
I feel he prefers fruits and flowers but I made sure that I watched his diet
and never let him over indulge.
By now he had
gained reasonably in height and weight and I needed assistance in seeing him
off to the sea. My trusted friend KSSanjay was my partner in passion. Sanjay
arrived at the promised time on the last day and together we prepared for his
journey. First an aarti then a tour
around the house and finally a fervent wish whispered into his ear…
