Merry Christmas!

Devi was musing over the day's events.The day broke beautifully.Having finished regular pooja

she sat wondering at her luck.She even wondered sometimes if her tear ducts are functional.

She had gone to visit her friend.Her friendship was so itimate she was almost a member of her

family. She took liberties in her household affairs.She thought of arranging flowers in a different

wayand expected her friend to like it.But she was in for a surprise. Jaya came down,expected

smile was missingand said plainly, " You could have asked me". Devi was distubed.She was not

prepared.It was like a needle prick kept increasing and eyes welled up. Back at home ,her man

sensed something was wrong and made a statement lesser people, ignorant ones react to the

happenings .we are not this body.Nothing can touch real us.What oters say is just words.

The truth dawned.She noticed it was 25th December.
