O Lord Ganesha, brilliant as a million suns!
From your broken tusk and twisted trunk came the lakh verses of the Mahabharata.
Bless us so our mind shall never tire, and our pen shall never dry.

Vasanta Navaratri - Day 1: Shailaputri
The Soundarya Lahari of Sankara describes Devi thus:
धनुः पौष्पं मौर्वी मधुकरमयी पञ्च विशिखाः
वसन्तः सामन्तो मलयमरुदायोधनरथः ।
तथाप्येकः सर्वं हिमगिरिसुते कामपि कृपाम्
अपाङ्गात्ते लब्ध्वा जगदिद-मनङ्गो विजयते ॥
Elaboration follows.

1. North and South and Navrātras

2. To witness colony after colony ‘celebrating’ Navrātras with ear-shattering noise euphemistically called ‘music’...
3. To see women singing and dancing on numbers which horribly sound like a Bollywood song with lyrics changed in favor of the presiding deity, optimistically called ‘bhajan’...
