Dhol Tasha or DJ, how to bring Bappa home?
Shall we allow Bollywood numbers, or play bhajans alone.
Mandate traditional wear, discourage those from elsewhere,
Will Bappa be that nit picky, does he about your dress care?
Fashion shows we banned last time, this time it'll be tambola,
Why teach our children to gamble, or dance on songs like Oh La La.
They may do it on Janmashtami, on Holi its by design,
Just spare our Ganeshotsav, don't our festival malign.
Ganesh Festival is for everybody, its a reason to unite,
Let's not subtly exclude others; in the name of tradition divide.
Those who are dancing in joy, please don't paint as anti social guys,
By policing culturally and morally, we are just weakening our ties.
Celebrate with joy, celebrate without misgivings toward the other,
Bappa won't care less, as long as you have devotion in your heart brother.
