Mantri's Sunrise on Vinayaka Chaturthi

It was our first Vinayaka Chaturthi at Mantri Synergy.My wife and I did a walk-around in our Padur neighbourhood early this morning,looking for arugumbil(grass), mango leaves and flowers for puja.Ganesha may not approve of stolen flowers, but this didn't deter us from plucking a few from ornamental plants in Mantri Synergy.
As for the mango leaves, we cast our eyes on a mango tree next door, with its branches reaching out into our compound. With help from a security person we helped ourselves to some mango leaves from our neighbour's tree.
We procured the puja grass from an obliging gardener at the adjacent farm house. A helpful neighbour at D block brought us some more grass.We bought a clay idol of Ganesha from the Kelambakkam market.
