<p><strong>Which is your most favourite Ganeshotsav song from</strong> <strong>Bollywood?<br /></strong>I simply love the track &lsquo;Deva Shri Ganesha&rsquo; .&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Can you recall your most vivid Ganeshotsav memory during childhood?<br /></strong>Since I lived in a colony, we all celebrated the Ganeshotsav festival together. We had a &lsquo;Sarvajanik Ganpati Bappa&rsquo; for 10 days. The most amazing aspect about the whole thing was that, we used to start planning for all the festivities a month in advance. As a student, many of us used to plan for all dances and skits, right after school!</p>

<p><strong>Three wishes that you want to ask Lord Ganesha...<br /></strong>Dear Lord Ganesha, firstly, please give me the opportunity to bring your idol every year in my life and give me a chance for doing your seva. Secondly, please keep everyone healthy, happy and peaceful everywhere. Thirdly, grant me name, fame, health and wealth, so that I can use these resources to help and serve humanity.</p>
