CHERISH with HARISH

7:50 om, Jorhat. Hello all. I am sure you are all doing great. I can see that the Ganpati Visarjan is around the corner. I can see that in every message I am getting from relatives back in Hyderabad. But in this very moment, we celebrated a new festival here in Assam. Though it is not very new for the world, but it was new for me. The festival's name was 'VISHWAKARMA POOJA'. We had a pooja in NID, and I definitely saw cars, machines and every machinery getting worshipped in Jorhat. So, I got down to the big question of "WHO ExACTLY WAS VISHWAKARMA?

So, what is interesting in this journey is that unintentionally, I am getting support from a partner who is not from my field, but is becoming a part of all the decisions I take in life. I was all alone, all my life, but suddenly , I have a huge extended family, which fills me with lots of love and in the whole process, responsibility. Though we are alone here in this part of the world, but we have our shares of 'hellos' and 'namaste' for the families we call, from both the respective sides. As I was always either too boring, or too occupied to think of doing anything new on my weekends. But now, I have a plan. A plan for the weekend. A plan...
