.....Aao Tumhe Chand Pe Le jai......!!!!

....jingle bells....jingle bells jingling all the way...Santa Claus is coming along riding all the way...''..aao tumhe chand pe le jai....pyar bhara sapna dikhai...chhota sa Bangla banai ...ek nai duniya basai..''....St.Stephens Ootacamund is stones throw frm our location & tomorrow we r in Merry Christmas mode....!!!...its the day for whn my heart would miss a beat,year aft yr.... as reminiscence as early as 1969 ,where the smallest peg of Red wine & a plum cake portion I used to partake in Carmel Convent.Madhupur, in none the less parlour of the Rev.Mother...Mother Mary with Infant Jesus in arms overlooking.....for full year one used to wait for tht smallest peg nd cake.....my late father ingrained in me tht sense of urgency in wishing the Carmelite fraternity without fail despite the school being in vacation....equal was the warmth of reception by the Rev.Mother whom in school session would hardly get to see & the parlour shrouded in mystery..hence the 25th Dec visit directed by my father assumed  an imp.par excellence..till date the christmas carols with jingle bells make me feel most at home & rooted....hence the St.Stephen's trip tomorrow is all the more imp with Little Nanu & his didi Panu in tow......Archana is  also exposed to Christmas with a Church possibly the only one in town......just diametrically opposite to her native home,across the street where she grew up........I was determined to celebrate Christmas in  the Nilgiris ,this year,dotted with churches.....!!!...its like celebrating Durga Puja in Kolkata.....!!!Doel & Arnav will have their first brush with the festivity....together.....& needless to say I was breathless again satiating their queries......!!!!I would like to wish my Teachers,family & friends a very Happy Merry Christmas as I see the Star foisted in many a house rich...& humble here in the Nilgiris......!!!!!
