    Its Navratri time!!! Light wins over darkness.

    Hi Guys, I have been busy, what with moving to a new apartment and handling my brother and meetings with the lawyer due to problems that my ex husband has created for me; by not paying his due loan amounts to the banks and breaching the contract that he made with me, the bank collection people calling upon me, threatning me, despite I having paid my dues.....the list of troubles seems endless at this point. I got my divorce three years ago and that is a part of my life I dont disclose often. Not that the intention is to misguide anyone but I try not to think of the life that I led where I suffered beyond endurance and still carried on with the stupid hope that things might change. How stupid I was!! Somethings dont change. Somehow everytime I think, I am done and over with it, it rears up its ugly head, ruining my present and has evil designs on my future. Everytime I think about it, it puts me so much into rage that I clean up the whole house. Not a very pleasant time of my life, that one. Instead, I prefer to think of how far I have come in these last three years, what I have made of myself. Indeed, I wouldnt have been able to succeed and fulfill my desire of travelling to places I like had it not been for some inner strength that I seem to get from somewhere. Maybe that is God's way of showing me HE is there with me, in me and loves me despite my faults. :) Despite all these troubles, I have something to cheer me up. I look around me and I see people dressed in their best traditional clothes in the evening, all ready and pepped up to dance. It is the festival of dance; Navratri time. :)It is the time for hope, to regain strength to fight against evil; like Goddess Durga did. It is the time which tries to tell us, enjoy life and fight to live. Dont let the bad things in life depress you. Fight the unfairness and the core of all this- BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, YOU CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. DONT GIVE UP! Navratri is celebrated mostly in my State; Gujarat but is equally loved all over India. In the north and the east, this is the time to pray to Goddess Durga. In the west, it is the time to dance and call upon Durga to come to our houses and bestow her blesssings upon us. Uh oh..shall continue later. Gotta go. Its the estate agent's call. 21:32 pm Here I am, back again. Went to the garbas and had a blast. Garba is the traditional folk dance of Gujarat.It can be played in different styles and modes. Displayed are some pictures to show how colourful it is and how it is played. Hope you like it. garba imagegarba attiregarba

  • Happy Navratri.

    • Thanks and to you too!!

      Its the time for celebration and test of strength-physical and mental. How? Well..physical cos when you dance all night, you need to be fresh in the morning to go to work as well ;)This is the test of physical strength. Mental cos....when you're going thru problems, it takes a lot to go out and enjoy and forget the problems.:)
      May everyóne who has a problem get strength and power to face their problems with a smile and solve them. That is my only wish this Navratri.

  • Sorry you are going through all this, it is only a temporary state though, there will be an end to it so keep positive.

    • Thank you for your wishes. You're right of course. Though, when I look at your problems, mine seem to be in miniscule compared to yours. It is indeed the positivity which keeps you moving.

  • yeah its navaratri time,forgot all ur worries,what has to happen will happen.remeber for every bad phase therz lots of good phases...so cheer up and put the dancing shoes on........& dont forget the dandiya......

    • Hi there!
      Thank you. The Navratri festival finished on Sunday, with the burning of the evil monster Ravana. I shall put in some pics of me, in the traditional dress and dancing. Nothing like your delightful pictures but a humble try. You are the one who is the expert with those gorgeous pictures you put up!
      Hope to see more of your pics.

      Until later!
