Its eerie in Mumbai

The shops are closed.

Milk booths have run out of milk.

People are removing the Diwali lights.

Other than the main roads, there is no traffic on the roads.

Everyone is expecting a bandh on Monday.

Non-Mumbaikars would never understand the hold Balasaheb Thackeray had over Mumbai.

Hell, he changed the name of the city from Bombay to Mumbai.

Truly a tiger has died today.

Tirupati Balaji Comes to Mumbai

I had the good fortune to witness the the Kalyana Utsavam (marriage ceremony) of Tirumala Tirupati Sri Balaji with his consorts (Goddess Sridevi and Bhudevi) at Shanmukhananda Hall, King’s Circle.

The celestial wedding is performed daily in the Tirupati temple and devotees throng to be a part of the celebration.Usually, devotees are waitlisted for years when the ceremony is performed at Tirupati.It is for the first time in Mumbai that the idols were brought from Tirupati and the ceremony was performed here.

One of the singers at the function sang Adi Shankaracharya’s Bhaja Govindam.I simply marvel at the genius of this bhajan immortalized by the voice of M S Subbulakshmi

Its a beautiful day in Mumbai

Today is Ganesh Chaturthi and Mumbai City welcomes its Ista Devata (Favorite God) Ganapati.

The streets are choc-a-bloc with processions and it feels like a day of gaiety and piety.

This Bollywood number captures a bit of the Mumbai love for Ganesha.
