The drum rolls and the festive mood tell me that today is the day.</p> <p>I was born on Ganesh Chaturthi. (Now my birthday rarely coincides)</p> <p>Although, I’m an atheist, I find deep gratification in questioning, discovering and understanding the reasons behind mythology/religious doctrines. The stories revolving Lord Ganesh are no exception. I would like to share two moral lessons that are neatly woven into Ganpati folklore.</p>
