Christmas time...mistletoe and wine...
Yes...its that time of the year when people sing carols, put up Christmas trees, spread the spirit of Christmas, make merry and be happy!and then there's Santa...the big, round ol man who goes around giving gifts!!
The sad part is that I know all this coz I read Archie’s (I still do!!)
Why is it missing here in Chennai? Yes you have the pizza delivery guys wearing the Santa hood and cafes decorated with Christmas tree…. But…..something seems amiss…. Or is it really an illusion created in me thanks to Archie’s, Home alone, miracle on 34th st… jingle all the way and all those typically Christmas flicks!!…. Does the spirit really exist …or is it missing coz its Chennai ….and not Riverdale!!...and coz there’s no snow!!! I have a doubt here….when Santa goes to Australia…he wouldn’t require reindeers…coz obviously there wont be snow....so what is his mode of transport?.....Whatever.. coming back to the point… maybe I’m feeling that the spirit is missing coz I’m not a Christian?....(but its another thing I miss the diwali spirit too these days!!)
Uhhhhhhhhh………!!!!!! Now this blog is getting as confusing as me!!!! I really don’t know!!! The point is ….where’s the warmth and love and the goodness and all that which is supposed to be the essence of 25th dec??.....or is it there and I’ve not discovered it yet?.... I doubt if I’ll ever find out…..
