I never thought I'd blog about a puja (a religious worship ritual), but this one had some thing interesting. At first, the idea of 1008 Laddus (for those who do not know, a Laddu is a spherical Indian sweet) didn't seem to be a big one to me, but when I had to carry the boxes containing them, 4 floors to my home, I realized how much it was.
In the image are: 1) Boxes, all filled. 2) and 3) are Laddus
There was a puja at home, which mom and dad said was for Lord Ganpati. All this puja and God stuff never sounded logical enough to get my interest, but I wanted to see what 1008 laddus looked like when together. And the sight didn't disappoint me. 1008 is a large number. We had to fill large vessels, two large dishes, a canister and a plastic container to accommodate them.
After the puja, we distributed boxes of those laddus to the 8 pundits that had come, to our neighbors and friends, but there's still a reasonable amount of it left for us. Good luck to my sister, she'll enjoy it perhaps.

No, they aren't about the inner-self or the philosophical types but three things that I discovered about myself lately. It might as well sound insignificant.
One, is that I've developed a liking for liquid hand-washes. I like its versatility and how quickly and conveniently I can use it. Two, Nivea's Musk Talc makes me feel unwell. I keep sneezing and coughing if I smell it even once. I think it is because of the super fine particles it is broken into that irritate my nose and throat. (No, I do not eat it, but it still makes my throat go all kaboomzaboomkizoom) Three, I often feel like dropping out of my current college. I'm still not able to adjust myself there. I don't quite like it. :(
