“Does Santa know what we are thinking ?” – Armaan
“If he makes his toys at the North Pole, why does the barcode sticker say WALDEN ?” – Alisha
Earlier this December the Anands came over for a quick break to Hyderabad.
The kids had a great time & we all had a blast. [ See VDO feed at the end of this page ]
How do you break the news to a seven year old that it’s the spirit of Santa, and not really a fat old man who goes from house to house ? I don’t know either, so I postponed the telling for another season. Maybe I’ll get Deepa to do it.
Our first Christmas at No 12, and we had a great time as usual.
I wonder why for some odd reason people think that wine and cake is made / served during Xmas…. I’ve heard it so often now that I’m beginning to think I’m the one whos got it wrong….
New Years eve in the Gazebo was nice with all the other inmates, and I think we managed to stir up some of the stiffs as well. It seems to me that as we get older we forget how to have a good time. Or even if we do know how, we pretend that having a good time is somehow very shallow and not sagacious enough or befitting ones age. I hope I never get like that.
I now know 2 people with un-timely birthdays. One is on 31st Dec and the other is on 1st Jan. Tough luck I guess, speaking of which, what do people who are born on the 29th of Feb do ? How do they calculate their age ? How do computers at pension funds calculate their earnings ?
Meanwhile Alisha has turned a cheeky seven years old and seems to have developed an unspeakable taste in sweet & confectionery. More on that later, but here’s her birthday cake as conceptualized, designed, decorated & eaten by her.
I watched the Republic day parade yesterday, and I see that the turn-out of our forces are quite impressive. The State floats too were not bad at all. I didn’t get Bihar though; and when the railways float came up, the camera panned to Lalu Prasad, who was at that very moment spitting his paan into the spit bowl placed near him.
‘GUSTING ! – as Armaan would say.
Before I forget, heres Armaan’s favourite knock-knock joke :
Tak Tak
Kaun Hai ?
Agarwal
Agarwal kaun ?
Agar wal pe su-su kiya to gussa ayega apko ?
