108 Coconuts Later

I visited the Sri Senpaga Vinayagar temple today and I would definitely visit this temple again. It is one of the temples that evokes nostalgia for me. When I was younger, I had Sunday religious lessons in that very same temple. I even had the opportunity to play Lord Ganesh once; I was the skinniest Ganesh ever. It was also a temple where we had many family functions.

However, I had no family function today nor do I still attend religious lessons. Instead I was there to give thanks and to seek further blessing from the god of prosperity. I broke 108 coconuts in the name of Lord Ganesha. Some sounded like a pop from a champagne bottle, an apt sound to celebrate my recent successes. While others sounded like a crash - and to my imaginative mind it sounded like the crushing of future obstacles. I really need him to clear any possible obstacles lying before my path to a successful future.

Tomorrow will be the start of a new chapter at SMU.

  1. Although I would argue about the effects of your activity on the universe or luck, I would reckon that it is a great exercise to keep fit and healthy =)
