Chath Puja and Bihari Mumbaikar
Originally uploaded by flickr photographerno1

a new hope a new beginning
a havan prayers for peace
no more sinning
working hard and always winning

on chath puja
all roads lead to
juhu beach
traffic comes to a halt
what a screech
bhojpuri ethos and bhojpuri speech
the bihari mumbaikar
a bit of patna
within his reach

sugarcane fields
on the sandy shores
the sea more gleeful as it roars
the spirits of young and old
like the waves rise and soar
women in the best sarees
gold ornaments ,vermillion
feminine decor
on this auspicious day their beauty
you just cant ignore
sanjay nirupam their bihari
brother they adore
a political tamasha
a jamboree
but now a part of mumbai
folklore ..
chath puja
bihari manoos
your heart
he is out to score
he is a hardcore
maharashtrian
not a bhaiyya anymore
