Christmas Time-----Down The Memory Lane....

Few days back as i was returning from office......walking down the road... a tune caught my attention...it was a familiar tune i used to love as a kid.....the very melodious christmas tune..."Jingle Bell Jingle Bell Jingle all the way Santa clause is coming along riding on this way"...so i turned back....and saw Santa walking behind me....i stopped and looked towards him...and gave a smile...seems he liked my smile...and in return I got a gift....a choclate.......as he disappeared frm my sight....i was pondering on something...yes my childhood days incidence.....thts what i m going to share now.....

As a kid one day I returned home, grumbling that Santa Clause comes with gifts but I never saw him… my mother came up with a quick word, "he visits those kids who are not naughty, who study well and obey their parents." The little brain inside my head was in a dilemma, "should I be naughty or behave well?" I thought. Christmas was round the corner and after a lot of pondering I asked, " mummy, if I behave well, will Santa come?" "Certainly", said my mother.

From that very moment I was a good child, eating whatever was served, completing the homework on time, no talking and playing pranks in school..

On the Christmas Eve…. I inquired, "did I behave well?" mom said, "Santa would decide". That was the first Christmas eve when I slept late waiting for Santa to arrive.. My mother told me that he would arrive only after I sleep. I went to bed and was soon asleep…into the lands of dreams....

Next morning I woke up to see a Polly bag full of chocolates kept beside me… I was very excited to see that….

I was running around the house shouting in elation ….

SANTA CAME ! SANTA CAME ! SANTA CAME!

I made all my friends believe my tale….{I m expert in doing tht....}

It became a regular feature every year, on Christmas I would find a gift on my bedside and my friends tried hanging socks, writing letters but for no benefit….

By the time I was 12 or 13 I realized….. its not Santa who comes but it was mother….

She kept on denying this fact for a few more years but then, I knew it all….

Thanx Mom....for all the goodies and love and caring....nothing can be compared to tht..u r the best mom...u had to handle a mischevious kid like me.....Miss you a Lotttttttttttt.......

Hope my Santa keeps visitng life long.....i hope my children also will love my santa a lot....[heheh]

till then.....
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL...

You made me laugh when I cried so hard----Dedicated to my best frnd

You made me laugh when I cried so hard

You gave me bracelets to cover my scars

You held me close when I was so cold

You offered a comforting hand to hold

You picked me up whenever I fell

You showed me heaven when I was blinded by hell

You answered my calls in the darkened night

You gave me the reasons to hold on and fight

You rescued me when I was drowning in pain

You placed me back on the right path again

You loved me forever and stayed by my side

You entered my heart as an angel to guide

You may not be with me so much anymore
But I know you will leave open a beckoning door
I miss you so much but I'll fight till the end
I love you so much my Bestest friend.

CCD A lot can happen over coffee.....

Yups Cafe coffee day have the perfect one liner for their business "A lot can happen over a coffee" and trust me a lot does happen. Every time you go there you'll find the place packed with people from all walks of life but majority of guys/gals belong to age group 17-29 years, Aha!! thats the catch, you see people who belong to this group are the one going through different phases of life. For instance teenagers becoming adults, High school to college transition, Love stuck couples having those long chats and finally those getting married types.

I am not targeting a group here but its funny how the one liner goes well with the folks I have mentioned above. Let me explain that "lot that happens over coffee" one by one . First lets go with the teenagers, who have recently joined college. Mostly they are from streams like commerce, science, arts, Engineering and Medicine. Ok back to the topic now, modus operandi of typical teenagers, they'll come in groups and groups only. Each group is like a different cult following its own rules, you like same soccer team, have similar taste for movies etc. Their discussions too are influenced by their ideologies and in the end they'll leave in a similar fashion as they came in.

Next place goes to love birds, you'll find them sitting in some corner of the cafe, it's very unlikely to find them sitting in open(where ever one can see them). Maximum number of incidents happen to these folks, there they are enjoying their beverage and suddenly he says some thing to her that pisses her off and she leaves like Katrina(hurricane), but relax most of the time they are like miscible liquids, which when mixed are harder to seperate even through reverse osmosis. These people also exibit high brain activity during this interlude because the number of ways they communicate and understand simply baffels me.

Last but not the least group belongs to those who are about to be married or have been married for like a couple of years. I have baptized this grop as "Inert group" like the one in periodic-table. It has been named so because they are through every thing that is happening around them, above mentioned cases etc. These guys/gals will simply order some thing and stare at each other periodically. We do see behavioural changes when they are in group, guys will talk among themselves and the same applies to gals. Soon after some chit-chat nostalgia will take over and one of them will get up buy a cupon for QJAM and select K.K's "Pal yeh hai pyaar ke pal, Pal yaad ayee ge kal......."
