Most people are busy with social media and its hard to spend some time and become more social in real life. But the pleasure from real social events are far from what you enjoy in social media.

I got an opportunity to engage some of my time to prepare an event in our apartment community during the recent Shiv Ratri Festival. A plan was laid out and work started to decorate the temple before the festival. The temple was washed fully followed by a white wash. And then we hired some local decorators, to add some decorations, to make it look more beautiful. After all the ambience does matters a lot. So all these had to be completed before night as the Puja started very early morning. Here is how it looked after all the work.

My kids were with me during these time. Its always good to inspire them by being an example so that they learn it automatically. So they were with me doing some little support providing small things when necessary. And things went well, and by midnight, we had set up everything , ready for the next day. Here is a distance view of the temple from my house in the apartment.

Everyone is very appreciative of how the temple was decorated. It gives a lot of pleasure, when you get some nice compliments from people who enjoy it.

And we also planned a dinner the following day, with prasad being served to all. And the beauty of the get together is that, people just sit in the parking area and take the prasad, and every one was very much interested to participate irrespective of their status. Most ladies volunteered to distribute the food, along with the gents.

And after the crowd reduced, its our turn to enjoy the food. It was a lot of work, but there was pleasure equally to be part of such a grand arrangement and contribute.
