My years in Mumbai when I was younger is the reason for my feeling like bubbles bubbling. Bandra, specially the West was full of christians... I love the Mount Mary's church, and used to light candles there every evening. Still do, when I get the chance to go there. Santa, a huge real-like one , unlike the diet concious ones you see today, visited the colony, we kids got to help with the huge nativity scene and an amazingly huge tree... all the tidings of a great christmas.
The most special memories of mine of that time, other than the chirstmas delicacies I loved, was of the plays we enacted out at old-age homes a few days before christmas eve and in the church on christmas eve. I've always been an angle in the play. Sang a few carols too.
It rubbed off.
In the recent past, December makes for the not so good memories... Inspite of which, the cheer, I haven't lost. Hope, some might call it. Somehow, one makes it through. You trudge your way through a huge pile of crap, or that's what it feels like, and are ready for whatever is next thrown in your path.
Anyway, here's wishing you a very very merry chritmas.... with plum puddings and mistletoe kisses... lots of happy things and endings.
Yours forever sthupitly.
Listening to: We wish you a merry christmas by Willie Nelson.

merry christmas!!(belated)
Yeah. Mount Mary is a special place indeed. Somehow, amidst all that noise and chatter that is the Bandra Promenade, Mount Mary stands silen and resolute as if telling you, come and find peace.
I am a total atheist, bt I loved the place simply for the silence it offered. Never stepped beyond the gates, wonder if I ever will...
Chrsitmas is a season to spread joy, and I'll do what I can :)
And yes, do send across some mistletoe over here. I'm dying to kiss a few girls... As for the plum pudding, well, it can't be better than the mistetoe, eh? :D
Cheers!
