After I had shot Lalbagh Chya Raja in the morning I headed towards Mumbai Chya Raja of Ganesh Gully and finally Tejukaya Cha Raja ..After shooting all this barefeet I came home tired and dead beat.
I will post the both the Ganpati pictures later .. in the evening Amit Pai son of Late Dinesh Pai my best friend who used to invite me here at King Cirle Darbar of Lord GSB ..left the job to Amit ..
And I came to the Pandal sad , and missing my true friend at his funeral I cried as though I had lost someone in my own family and I am crying now as I write this ..maybe I am soft maybe I am far too sensitive but I shared some great GSB moments with Mr Dinesh Pai..
I did not have the courage to meet Amit so I took a detour at the Pandal avoiding him or I would have broken down on this happy auspicious moment.
I went to search for my other best friend Dr Bhujang Pai ..his father in law Mr KD Shenoy took me to him.. and I shot the GSB Pandal holding back my tears and memories of a friend a great Gaud Saraswat Brahmin a humble man , a simple man , and this new set is my tribute to his departed soul this is my Shradanjali to him my humble pictorial offerings ..
