My Father's Tithi Birthday- Bamana Janma and Onam

Today is a very auspicious day- The Dwadasi of Bhadra i.e. "the 12th day of the bright fortnight of Bhādra" is celebrated as "Bamana Janma" & "Onam."

Today is the tithi birthday of my father, Shri A.K.Sabat Finance Guru - CA AK Sabat.
Papa was born on this day (& not date).
May Mahaprabhu bless him with great health and happiness and fulfill all his wishes🙏

It Was Time

He noticed the flower-seller on his way to office.

He thought she was smart to be operating her stall near his high-rise.

 

He had employed a thousand employees.

There was always some celebration at office.

Today was special.

It was his daughter Rizzy’s birthday.

He felt like buying roses for Rizzy.

Perfect Setting

He always knew she was the one for him.

Their birthday was on the same date.

As they worked in the same office, their colleagues arranged a common party. 

This was happening for the past couple of years. 

This time they’d be at the other side of the globe. 

They both had been deputed for an overseas assignment.

Celebrate Blogging

Today morning, the hashtag all over my Twitter TL was #CelebrateBlogging. Soon #CelebrateBlogging was the top trend!

Pretty interesting, I thought! Blogging anyway is a celebration of the self that gives us wings, yet keeps us grounded. 
It is but apt that Blogging be rewarded too and that we #CelebrateBlogging!

The occasion was BlogAdda 's birthday celebration. What better way to celebrate than to #CelebrateBlogging ?

We were offered cake! BlogAdda promised, "We are going to #CelebrateBlogging and our birthday today. The cake is on us, whenever you say." I tweeted, "Many Happy B'day Wishes your way!" There was no missing this. Enthu followers joined in happily to send Happy Birthday Wishes to BlogAdda and of course tweeting answers to the questions posed by BlogAdda using the hashtag!

The first question was what does Blogging mean to us.
Blogging means an outlet of emotions- ranging from silly to smart!; expressing the cacophony of voices in my head & melodies playing in my heart! I tweeted this to BlogAdda and realized that I had forgotten the hashtag!

I then admitted- "Oops I forgot the #CelebrateBlogging hashtag! Blogging sets us free!...even from hashtags!" There are no characters or word-limit constraints! Blogging just leaves us like a free bird...

Blogging is an emotional flowchart that taps all the faculties of our minds and hearts to lead our journey in Blogosphere just like a horse pulls a Cart!

Blogging gives a great opportunity for celebrating 'I, ME, MYSELF' & also people and things in everyday life and own country and world!

Answers were myriad.  Here are some of them.

 Then, BlogAdda posed more questions. And many contributed their honest, serious, crazy, humorous, creative...answers!

 

It was thoroughly enjoyable to #CelebrateBlogging with BlogAdda today!

As Blog looks great updated and as the new home of the feelings & conversations in our head, I felt I had to create a post about this! Thanks BlogAdda for giving a chance to share & express the said and the unsaid! 

Happy Birthday again, BlogAdda !!!
