And here we are, again welcoming powerful ‘Lord Ganesha’ seeking his blessings. Every Indian festival makes me nostalgic as we somehow miss those olden days of celebrations. May be because I am growing old or may be because somewhere I try to look for a child inside me. As a child, every Ganesh Chaturthi, I visited my mom’s native place with my grandpa and what fun we kids had those days. Not to mention, that aroma of food coming from kitchen, the decorations, that last moment chaos and our lovely Ganapati Idol which we as kids always admired!

Somehow the things change after marriage. I don’t complain but somewhere “little kid” inside me always wander around past when festivals approaches. I miss those “aartis”(Prayer songs) we cousins sang together, lovely “Prasad”(food offered to God) and aromatic vegetarian Thali.

Anyway enough of my nostalgia stories 🙂 🙂 but this year I am praying to lord Ganesh to bless us with good health, less worries and keep friendly relations with each other. How to impress him ? Prepare these instant cocoa modak as I made it . Make it with your love as extra ingredient and he surely will be happy. Instead of tedious process of making mawa, just use milk powder, cocoa powder , sugar and milk . Cook for few minutes and done.
