Its my day off !!

Its my weekend off from the hospital, Im not on call either and that is just great, I get some time on my own, okay, I dont want to talk about my profession, this blog is about other things in life , where I can relate to my true self, where my mind can soar free like a bird ( I know its cliched', the point is, Im trying find my artistic side,if I do have one, that is) so , Im going to write stories, joke around, speak out on my life and today's topic is Christmas , the season of joy, the season that has now become a pudding called commercialism, went to the mall the other day, not a word about Jesus, the REAL REASON FOR THE SEASON , its all about a fictional character called Santa , does anyone know or want to who Jesus is anymore? forget that , or even where the concept of Santa came from ? The real St.Nicklaus never wanted to become the icon of Christmas, he was a Godly man , we made him Father Christmas or 'Christhumus Appooppen'
, the less said the better about all this, Of course its a great and happy season ( not for all though, there are so many stress related cases in hospitals at this time of the year) great season for retailers and shoppers, The shops , the mall atriums,the streets , homes , every possible inch is covered with lively lights, carols being played and you see the faithful bell ringers of the Salvation Army standing in the cold weather , so committed to the good cause of charity which makes me think as what Im doing for others ? God bless them and their loved ones, some day I would like to volunteer to be a ringer , its for a good good cause.

This is going to be a quiet weekend, no buddies coming to visit ,went to the Malayalee store and bought two packets of Parotta , Im going to make beef curry, got to take out the Mrs.K.M Mathew recipe book that Amma sent, I have to thaw the Angus.

With that being said. Im done with this post for now, and the next topic will be on the family Christmases' of the past, in Kottayam when Pappa was still in this world and Amma was a
a cheerful woman with little or no gray hair, when my sis was still an innocent little girl( she still is), when I was a stubborn boy still studying in a prestigious school in Kottayam before changing to an 'ordinary' school as the fees were more affordable, without a care in the world, when Amma didnt have to start looking for a job to support us, when we still had our house where I grew up,when we did not have any debts or atleast not aware of it , when we didnt have to pretend that we had money, when Ammachi was still a pillar of strength and didnt have cancer, when times were good, and when Pappa was still in this world ..... I can go on and on but dont want any tears on my keys, I would do anything to see Pappa again and tell him that Im sorry for being arrogant and not talking to him,tell him that I was just pretending and that I really loved him, that Im 33 now , but Im still his Ponnumon.
