Christmas Memoir



That time of the year has come, when the streets of City of Joy gets lighted. The glitzy Park Street reminds us.... YES IT'S CHRISTMAS!!!!!! The irresistible aroma of "Ma-made fruit-cake", "Karaishutir kochuri", "Gajorer halua" and "Nolen gurer payesh" brings back happy memories of childhood.The innocent-belief of a child's mind that “He's making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out Who's naughty and nice, Santa Claus is coming to town” brings back a glimpse of smile. Though the cold winds from North; the faded brown leaves; the shawls, monkey-caps and woolly-coats are declaring that we are in MID-WINTER, but "Borodin" brings back SPRING in the heart of the denizens of Kolkata.

P.S. Some songs have the power of creating visualization in front of your eyes. Here's a special song for all of you......Please close your eyes and listen.....This song creates the visualization of a starry night, the moon peeping out from the dispersed blanket of white fluffy clouds, snow covered trees, bells ringing at a distance and so many things which brings the essence of CHRISTMAS.....

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you....
