REFLECTIONS

  Reflections A lot crosses my mind when I decided to scribble my thoughts after the death of my father. Shall I write about him? Though it seems the right topic a doubt creeps into my head wondering how many people who know him could relate to what I write apart from the common characteristics that my dad is known for.   It was a beautiful autumn evening in Oct when I received a call from home informing me my dad had suffered a stroke.   The initial moments of panic gave way to strategic approaches to bring the situation under control though there was a looming gloom that kept telling me this was not going to end well. A whirlwind of emotions, a trip to plan and the fear that comes with uncertainty were hard to handle.     Every person who lives far away from their parents can relate the fear of not reaching them on time.   What awaits us: a frozen body, a body supported by ventilator or a breathing one whose limbs are warm to touch to give a sense of relief amidst all chaos

    Magic of Christmas…   Santa, elves, reindeer, sleigh, cookies and gifts. So, begin the stories of Xmas for kids. To receive gifts the kids should not be on the naughty list, the cookies to be left on the mantel along with the milk. A night full of dreaming Santa wearing a red hat with a big smile hidden by his white beard. Hours of lying awake listening for the footsteps, take you to a magical world of elves making toys in North pole covered in snow, reindeer getting ready to pull the Sleigh loaded with toys and finally Santa appearing with a bag full of toys. The morning Sun brings the rays of excitement in seeing the gifts wrapped under a beautifully decorated tree, the thrill to open the gifts and checking the stockings. The smiles, the joy and the fun are hard to contain. As years pass by, we become Santas giving hope for many in this season of giving. Let this light shine through our hearts to make this a fantasy world filled with fun and laughter.
