"I jogged for 45 minutes straight today." Time to start the ritual again! #FeelsHome

Goan streets.
Post 8 pm, empty corridors and yellowish dark view.

Rain falling.

Calories burnt, kilometers covered, steps counted.

I didn't take any electronic devices, just my FitBand. #NoMusic

I focused upon the things around.

Pit stops to pit stops.

Ganesh Chaturthi is the theme for the coming days.

Homes Lit, feels like Diwali in Delhi.

Differences:
Authentic Indian Music being played at every house in the evening, Bhajans which sounded like Jamming(This is so cool I thought), people gather every day at each house, sit and talk, wonderful it looks.
If you happen to pass a house, closely, one can smell the food being prepared with love, auspicious occasions and festivities.
All of Goa is in Trance!

Being a spiritual man and staying away from religion,
today something happened after a long time,
I saw a "Mooortii" of Lord Ganesha, every Indian kid has seen many, worshipped them too,
my own house and places which surrounds us.

Today, with an impulse, it had a huge, positive effect on me, all glowing and shining.
There is beauty in symbology I observed, again.
See, changing definitions helps!

I saw people from my neighborhood catching fishes by the bridge.

I saw cows sitting on the roads in a fibonacci series.

My mind processed two songs from two passing restaurants into one funky melody.

I can still smell the Goan Sausages, around.
Today I did try listening to the music of the street,
I think I'm going to do the same tomorrow as well.
