    It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

    We are a few weeks away from Christmas, along with everything associated with it; we will all be bringing out our Christmas albums. Don’t ask me why but somehow it seems everyone owns a Jim reeves Christmas album. Jim, Bing and Nat king Cole will all be singing about snow, snowmen and sleighs and all this while we’ll be looking at the sun, yes I admit it can be a real downer except for one thing.

     There’s a personal tradition a friend of mine and me have been keeping…we have done it for the past four years now.

    Every year around Christmas week we take a walk down hill road, believe me

    Nothing will put you in the Christmas mood like a walk down hill road…

    With its lights and vendors with their all those stars lining the streets. It’s something I have come to look forward to. Christmas has become sober as the years have gone by… the times are changing, somehow Christmas seems different.

    But I still like my walk down hill road…you start by watching kids at the signal selling Santa hats. And as you walk on there are these red heads dotting the street while they shop. This time my buddy is in Goa, he sent me a message today saying he is coming back into town for our ritual Christmas walk.

    Try it I guarantee you by the time you hit Hilton you’ll be singing the Christmas polka.

    ah, christmas, has lost it's charm for me alas, though i walk down hill road back home every day, i can see consumerism on the rise, who remembers why exactly the season is so special? it's all about how good u look at church or the dance/party, who gave you what, what you gave who, blah blah.

    while i passed by yesterday i saw a horrid sight, a little beggar boy, around 4 frustrated with life and hopelessness written all over his face, was man-handling a baby who was a few months old, i stopped in anger at how he was treating the child, and then i looked at his face and he had such a broken, troubled heart too, i wanted to take the baby away from him.

    i know this sounds really cynical and negative, but all i want is a balance, we should all try to help and give, no one even looked at the crying baby, they were so concerned with choosing the perfect shoes and earrings, let alone try to help it.

    any way, i wanted to share that with someone, (sorry it had to be you). but wishing you a great season ahead, may u find the true meaning and feel pure joy this festive season.

    I have been to many Churches and the best I hv been to is In UP in an obscure town as SARDHANA, which happens to be native place of Naseer Shah. Shuan the church there is so beautiful I cant express, I hv my pics there. This X'mas I have a resolution to go to my townie church and listen to the Mass & the Carols.

    As for songs, I hv one fav. 'Christmas without you like a mystery with no clue, I love you, I miss you, I need you'... by Kenny Rogers

    So Shaun Have a beautiful walk and a happy X'mas. keep the date with the hill and talk away all ur concerns. Talk the Walk.
