The once-in-12-year and the special 144th year ritual is done!! Sounds
huge, dramatic......the 'been there, done that' feeling, the high given
by 'achievement unplugged'.......confused as to what I am experiencing now, given the mindset with which I went there!!
I resisted hard not to add my share to the water pollution at the pushkara ghats, but had to abide by the duties of a common Indian woman......satisficed myself and justified my stance by just sprinkling the holy water from Godavari on the head!!
Nothing to boast of after observing the hygiene and sanitary conditions at the banks.....yet nothing to feel less proud after watching people trying hard to keep the age-old traditions intact by offering prayers to the ancestors as well as the river Goddess on this special occasion!!
