Maheshwari
shares
his
Janmashtami
story:
‘This
day
used
to
be
so
special
when
I
was
a
kid.
I
remember
dressing
up
as
Krishna
countless
times
—
whether
for
fancy
dress
competitions,
dance
events,
or
simply
because
my
family
wanted
me
to
(being
the
youngest
has
its
perks!).
Back
in
Kolkata,
we
would
have
elaborate
decorations
and
celebrations
on
this
day.’

He
adds,
‘My
One
memorable
story
is
from
a
time
when
my
mom
woke
me
up
in
a
hurry,
saying
I
was
late
to
get
ready
as
Krishna.
I
grumbled,
saying
no
one
had
informed
me,
but
got
dressed
quickly.
While
everyone
else
was
busy
with
the
decorations,
I
was
left
waiting
in
my
Krishna
outfit,
hoping
for
some
event
to
justify
it
all.
‘By
5
PM,
I
was
still
waiting
and
wondering
why
they
even
dressed
me
up
in
the
first
place.
It
turned
out
my
grandmother
had
casually
suggested
to
my
mom
that
it
would
be
nice
if
I
dressed
as
Krishna
that
year.
To
give
me
a
sense
of
purpose
for
all
the
effort,
they
took
this
photo.
(Hence
the
beautiful
expression).’
