हवा के झोंके आज मौसमों से रूठ गए..
गुलों की शोख़ियाँ, जो भँवरे आके लूट गए..

बदल रही है आज ज़िंदगी की चाल ज़रा..
इसी बहाने क्यूँ ना मैं भी दिल का हाल ज़रा..
सँवार लूँ, सँवार लूँ, सँवार लूँ, हाय, सँवार लूँ..

It was Janmashtami evening, and Vrindavan buzzed with joy and festivity. The streets were adorned with vibrant flower garlands, and the air echoed with temple bells, songs, and laughter. People in traditional attire celebrated with dance and prayer, while the scent of incense and flowers mingled in the cool evening breeze.

At the heart of it all, the Awasthi house was bustling with preparations. The grand entrance was draped with marigolds and fairy lights, while girls in colorful lehengas crafted intricate rangolis. Inside, the sound of kirtans filled the air as women sang and clapped in devotion.

The Awasthi house stood tall and proud, a beautiful traditional bungalow with a blend of old-world charm and elegance.

In another part of the house, the family was busy with the final preparations for the midnight puja. Hridya, along with her cousins and friends, was carefully decorating the jhula (swing) for Laddu Gopal, the little idol of baby Krishna, making sure everything was perfect for the occasion.

"Hridya, kya kar rahi hai? Do it fast!" came a sharp voice from behind.

(Hridya, what are you doing? Hurry up!)

"Di! It's almost done, bas jaldi ho jayega!" Hridya replied, turning around to see her elder sister, Vanya, hurrying around, looking flustered as usual.

(It's almost done, it'll be ready soon!)

"Hmm... Tu yeh sab chhod, yeh log dekh lenge! You go and help Yug with the food arrangements!" Vanya instructed, her tone brisk.

(Leave this, they'll manage. You go and help Yug with the food arrangements!)

"Nahi yaar! Don't make me work with him! Thodi si bhi galti ho toh daantne lagte hain!" Hridya pouted in protest.

(No! Don't make me work with him! If I make the slightest mistake, he scolds me!)

"Kyun?" (Why?) Vanya asked, raising an eyebrow.
