Bye Bye Santa...See You Next Year !

Before turning the page on this year’s Christmas I want to write it down here. I want to lock it in my memory through words. This was our first Christmas together. I live in India and although I am not christen but I and I think every Indian eagerly wait for Christmas every year. Christmas means surprise gifts, Santa, cakes, chocolates and if possible then a small trip. 

 

St Antony Church

This year my Santa was my husband. On 24^th he was suppose to come back in the afternoon from office but he got stuck and came in the evening around 6. In India we get holiday on 25^th only. Some people are not that lucky to get even one day holiday. My husband bought chocolate for me. Although I am dieting and not allowed to even look at chocolates but he made exemption for this day. After that we spent time talking and teasing each other. We had ordered four different non veg pan pizzas from dominos for our dinner. And of course, we fought after that over a silly issue. Our celebration remains incomplete if we don’t fight with each other.

Next day I woke up and decided to forget about the fight and enjoy Christmas. I called up my parents and family members to wish them. This was my parents first Christmas without me but I was happy to know that they are celebrating with their friends. I felt relaxed to know that they are not alone. 

 I took one and the half hour to get ready. Before going out for lunch we again fought. I asked my hubby to comb my hair and he was not ready to do that. He hadn’t combed his hair once after waking up in the morning. He got angry as he felt that I am interfering too much and I was mad at him as I was not able to understand what kind of person will not comb his hair before going out? I felt frustrated because If I can change myself why cant he and what I asked him was not such a difficult thing. Moreover if something doesn’t look go

od on him then being his wife I have right to inform him about the same.

We ended our fight in the lunch table. He made me laugh even though I was mad at him. So I gave up. After lunch we went to St Antony Church. Main gate was open but by the time we reach there the church door had been closed. It was open till 11am only. We spent some time inside the campus. I think we looked more like best buddies than husband wife. We left after half an hour and headed towards a nearby shopping mall. We spent some time in a book shop and after that we came back around 4:30 pm.

Again at around 7pm we decided to visit a mall near our flat. It was a wonderful evening. We didn’t fight and walked hand in hand. We shared jokes, laugh, secrets and love. We came back around 9pm and that’s how we celebrated our Christmas. This Christmas was about two of us and I liked it that way. We are hoping to celebrate our next Christmas in the different part of the world. Lets see where love and life take us.

Its hard to say GOOD BYE ;-(

First, my heart goes out to the parents and teachers of sandy hook school. I just cannot shake this tragic incident off from my mind. Their sorrow is haunting me every time especially when Christmas is just few days away. I would pray to God to give enough strength to those parents, so that they are able to deal with their tremendous lose. Life is so cruel. I am speechless, numb, and helpless. Mr. Obama please make amendments in US constitution regarding arms . Your own kids are in danger. We don't need your tears . We want ACTION. When will you wake up and take action? WHEN?

Dear Children of sandy hook school,

We are extremely sorry. We could not save you. We could not make earth a better place for you to live. Sorry, we are busy killing each other. Your life is not important to us than our arms and ammunition and our political interests . 

Little angels please come back again on earth  again and we promise to save you next time. Please give us second chance. We are ashamed of ourselves. 

Love

People from all over the world

I am  feeling bit  low today. So, thought I might feel better, if I just vomit my emotions here. According to me ,the toughest job on this earth is to be father or mother of girl child. I live with my parents since my birth. I have spent my 25 years with them. I am getting married next year. I will be leaving my parents house next year. Although, I love my fiancée very much and can not even imagine my life without him but the thought of  leaving my family behind is very heart breaking. It will be tough for my parents too. I don't know how they will cope with it. I am starting a new life. I will have many things to divert my mind but what will they do. I will miss my grandma , uncle and my niece. I will miss my grandfather , great grand ma and my uncle on my wedding day. Hope they shower their blessing on each one of us from heaven. Just want to say to them that we all miss you and love you a lot.  Someday we will again meet somewhere, until then keep watching us from there. 

I will miss Kolkata (City where I live). I have love-hate relationship with Kolkata. I came here in 2003 with my ma and papa and since then I am living here. Before that, I lived in many otherIndian towns and cities and studied in 4-5 different school as my father was in army. Kolkata has taught me many things. It has made me independent and matured. Therefore, it is more special to me than any other city. I feel like I know this place in and out. I can feel its pulse. I can read expressions and mind of everyone here. 

I will miss my group of friends from university. I feel blessed to have friends like them in my life. I don't have cousins . So. they are like my extended family. They always accept me the way I am. Each of them is unique in their own way. Wherever life and love takes me, I will miss them badly as I would miss my family. I would miss their PJs, nigh outs and every little thing about them.  I will miss their weirdness and awesomeness. 

My gloomy post on good byes ends here and there is something to cheer me up this weekend. I am staying at my uncle's place tomorrow with my friends. Then, On Friday, we will catch early morning train to Behrampur. Its a town, around 200 km from Kolkata . Actually my best friend's parents live there.  It is just one- day trip and we will be back on Sunday. So, I am not sure If I will get time for sight seeing. Lets see. 

I captured this cute moment today morning. My niece was trying to touch and feel our dog for the first time. The funny thing is Mr Nuku is always scared of her but somehow he didn't resist today. Watching them together just made my day :)

Merry Christmas to everyone in advance !!! May Santa bring lots of happiness, joy, success and good surprises in your life. Stay blessed always !!!
