As young children we would wear costumes. It could be anything you wanted and often times I'd dress in a pink princess outfit. My family isn't big into crowds, so we didn't stay long to watch the parades. But what we would do is go to the parking lots where the floats were stationed prior to moving on to the street for the parade. Dad was great! He could cheer for the parade goers to through us trinkets. We would fill up our bags and then go to the car and dump all of the beads on the floor of the car. Dad said, "It's better for the parade people to see you with empty bags, then they will throw more to you!" We would sometimes fill up the bags three or four times before the parade even started and then leave. That's how we did Mardi Gras and were able to stay out of the crowds.Aletahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605214202876973830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-5538583924923276232009-10-09T10:28:01.389+05:302009-10-09T10:28:01.389+05:30It sounds so interesting.

It was interesting to read what you liked most in the idol. <br /><br />I always thought why the four children of the goddess just preened while their mother fought the demon! Should they not extended a helping hand? OK, I know, no one would want the Mahishashura to be lynched, and a one-to-one is always respectable. But shouldn't the kids' faces betray some anxiety?Santanu Sinha Chaudhurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15062744470522359652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5671536805876663540.post-75070103302106877692009-09-27T06:31:26.701+05:302009-09-27T06:31:26.701+05:30Yesterday I visited Shivaji Park, Dadar And had Da...Yesterday I visited Shivaji Park, Dadar And had Darshan.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
