सोनिया गांधी के सपने में महात्मा गांधीजी आकर बोले ( When Gandhiji came in Sonia Gandhi's Dream)
एक दिन सोनिया गांधी के सपने में महात्मा गांधीजी आकर बोले ,"मैने मरते समय कॉंग्रेस को सादगी, ईमानदारी , टोपी, चश्मा और डंडा दिया था, कहॉं है वो?"
सोनिया ने अत्यंत विनम्रता से कहा,"टोपी तो राहुल लोगों को पहना रहा है. सादगी मेरे और प्रियंका के पास है. चश्मा मनमोहन के पास है. ईमानदारी स्विस और ईटली के बैंक में सेफ है और डंडा आम आदमी की सेवा में लगा रखा है.......

LORD GANESHA
Legend has it that Parvati created Ganesha out of the sandalwood dough that she used for her bath and breathed life into him. Letting him stand guard at the door she went to have her bath. When her husband, Shiva returned, the child who had never seen him stopped him. Shiva severed the head of the child and entered his house. Parvati, learning that her son was dead, was distraught and asked Shiva to revive him. Shiva cut off the head of an elephant and fixed it on the body of Ganesha.
Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated in the UK by the migrant Hindu population as well as the large amount of Indians residing there. The Hindu culture and Heritage Society, UK - a Southall based organisation celebrated Ganesh Chaturthi for the first time in London in 2005 at The Vishwa Hindu Temple. The Idol was immersed in the river Thames at Putney Pier.
Celebration of Ganesh Chaturthi in Mauritius dated back to 1896. The first Ganesh Chaturthi Puja was held at the epth of the 7,Cascades Valley in Henrietta by the Bhiwajee family who is still celebrating this pious festival for more than a century.
