The X-MAS spirit

X-MAS came and went away.I don't know about the rest of India but Delhi didn't show any enthusiasm or zeal which is characteristic of X-MAS.Even in our small Allahabad we see..santa and his helpers moving around the city in lorries throwing snowflakes and candies on the crowd.The celebrations..carol singing which goes on at the city's schhols and the grand cathedral in Civil Lines is esxhilirating.I celebrated X-MAS this time with two of my very good friends..we had the ususal plum cake.with chocolate cake..some tortilla chips..some chicken and of course some booze.It wasn't like what it used to be earlier when we were kids..but then time takes its tool on everything.Lets pray the X_MAS spirit stays with us throughout the coming year.A Happy New Year to all of you.
