This year, it was challenging to get all the cooking and Ganesh Chaturthi Pooja done properly with Ashwini trying to ‘help’ us in every aspect of it. While I took care of Ashwini, V managed to cook varan-bhaat, gavaar-potato bhaaji, chavali (black-eyed peas) usal and best of all ‘ukadiche modak’. We strapped Ashwini in her high-chair while I did the pooja and it seemed like she enjoyed watching it. Then, she kept doing ‘bappa moraya’ everytime she went into the room. Hopefully, she will understand more and be more involved next year when ‘Ganpati bappa’ comes back.
