Four days before Christmas, stepped into the Planet M shop below my office. Had decided not to swipe plastic, come what may. The ipod had meant, most of my music was now downloaded from the net, and couldn't remember the last time that I had used my music CD player.
Frank Sinatra was singing `Let it snow, let it snow...' and what with the season of cheer and everything, bought two CDs of Christmas classics.
So here are my questions:
*Why is it that the week before Christmas, you suddenly feel like hearing, `Hark! The Herald Angels Sing'
*Why is it that in Mumbai's warm Christmas, you feel you need to cuddle up against some one besides a fire.
*Why does an artificial Chinese Christmas tree make you all gooey.
*Why do you suddenly feel like kissing some one below a mistletoe - though you have never actually seen a real one, if you ignore the plastic ones.
* Why for an Indian Malayalee Christian it doesn't feel like Christmas unless you listen to `The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)'
*Or for that matter why on Boxing Day, 'Silent Night' never stirs the same emotions as that of the previous day.
