Q. What type of celebration do you prefer - noisy celebration i.e. with music and sound etc, or simple and calm celebration in homely atmosphere?
A. I think the whole process of celebration has changed. Neither Holi is celebrated like it used to be nor Diwali. Now everyone is trying to give interview, to be on screen.

The reason to pray lord Ganesha has totally changed. Everything has become so fancy and even the idols are also made in such way. I think we have to go back to the old way where the basic aim of pooja can be regulated.
