hmmm.....

Our family has celebrated Christmas,since as far as I could remember.Mom,her siblings,her father have celebrated it from their childhood.With the entire cake and christmas tree deal. We always have had Christmas trees.Whether or not they looked like 'traditional x-mas trees'. Santa's gifts,carols,greeting cards,visiting people for Christmas.Such were most of our christmases. One of the houses,we visited during Christmas season and with lot of enthusiasm, was Rego Aunty's.The spectacular christmas tree,the cookies,the bon bons filled with gifts and last but not the least,the plum cakes. Oh,I LOVE plum cakes,but i haven't had ever since i turned into a complete vegetarian. So,thats what folks, IF i manage to buy rum,I will attempt making/baking a eggless Plum Cakes. Or will make Lucy add it to her list of make a bake! To the rest of the world,wish youll a very merry Christmas.Hog as much as you can,share with whom you can and enjoy the spirit of Christmas!

:D Random memory I remembered. As a kid,I wanted to get married to someone who had their name/surname starting with G.So that I did not have to change my signature. Of course,I was a very smart kid who also thought that it was abosultely pointless and even distructive when the word 'press' was written on the glasses (windsheilds of cars.)

...scenes of our youth and a 150 year old landmark.Biting the dust. Its a fact. I will never be able to get over this one,i know it for sure. I am sure this is the state of mind of lot of my fellow annites.But well i speak for myself mainly. I loved my school and i most definitely will till i breath my last.I cherish every moment i have had there,even the times i got kicked out of class (thrice,out of which twice was with the entire class :) ) Inspite of the comments about it being jail (the grey and cream colours of the walls always made us wonder..WHYYYYY!!) But now those walls dont remain,most of them. I studied in this school for twelve years. The kindergarten section was re-built while we were in school and we were very happy about it because the building we studied in was very old.And now 6 more of the classrooms i spent a year each in are no more.(Soon will be a tar road and nothing more). There will be no class rooms facing SP Road,not one.No Priya Monteiros will be able to com...

We had (and still have) a table (a high one) where Si and me used to climb and pretend we were in the gulf war and rescuing the person who was down. We had small buckets and thread (or was it naada?) tied to it.We used to let it down and say we are giving good water to those poor people (we used to take turns to be the victim and the Saviour).We had other additions to the game too,cannot remember them yet. I do not think i am as aware of news as i was back then. And i must admit we sisters had the most innovative games on earth! Observation:Stress makes me think of all fun memories i have. Its a good thing.
