So, all the necessary precautions were taken & all the guidelines met by the small team who made it happen. But, gotta say, I can’t even begin to express how overwhelming it was to get back to it all – felt surreal. I sincerely hope & pray that our Vighnaharta, Lord Ganesh removes all the negativity, fear, and toxicity surrounding us. Take care of yourself and your loved ones.
