Deep-Utsav

hello Friends!!
this is my first blog... which means i am a child in the blogging world! lemme start and you all thr will tell me if i hv done a decent job..

its one of those time in the year which i really like.. its diwali time.. the entire country is well lit and decorated. i am sure when ths festival was started, alot of thought process must hv gone into it. whr thr is smethng spl for each of those main days of diwali.

on the new yr day ie. Padva..(now dont ask me why is it that thr r 2 new years tht are celebrated one of them being the diwali padva and the other being "GUDI PADVA" which is celebrated in the month of March\April), all my college frnds actually coaxed and forced me to join them to go n watch the deeputsav tht is held each year in SarasBaug. nw i am not the kinds who will visit SarasBaug. I fell prey to all the coaxing and decided to go.

bt the biggest hindrance being waking up at 4am. what an hr to wake up and leave.. Richa did a decent job of waking me up a lil late ie 4:15am ohh hw precious i thot were those 15 mins of blissful sleepn. finally managed to reach the place arnd 5:30. i had actually thot we are goin to b only those idiots who dint hv a better job to do at tht hr and ended thr.. bt i was sadly mistaken. the road leadn 2 SarasBaug was choc-o-block. it took me 15 mins 2 find a parking place.

trust me the DEEP - UTSAV was all worth the pain.. i knew Punekars were an enthu lot bt ths enthu well.. tht speaks abt the spirit of the Punekars.. thr were ppl from a few months old to grand dad and grand moms.. all hvn a whale of a time. thr were sme young guys who were thr to do sme watchn (or shd i call it bird watchn) or thr were sme who wantd 2 go n light up d entire place. thr was sme musical prog arranged thr.. thot who wud want 2 sit thr n silent to the songs whn thr was such beauty beckoning.. i was proved wrong thr a no. of them who rather loved sitting thr and listening. or may b they were tired after tkn a couple of rounds of the place.

i hv decided tht i'll b goin next yr again 2 witness all the fun again.. though hvn stayed in Pune for so long dint knw abt it.. i thank Richa 4 forcing me 2 cme.
