Twinkle twinkle little star….
It has brought back memories… Another award from Sree. I guess I should in turn award him as the best blog-award buddy for showering me most awards in the past few months… (which equals to 3!!) The following star award reminds me of several things.
Reminds me of the small star rank badges I received in school, which in turn reminds me of the other badges like blue house captain, green house captain, NSC badge and all those things, which I always kept in my school bag, so that I do not forget to wear them the next day…
Reminds me of the colorful Christmas stars hung at our house, which my father and I used to take up as a project, which also reminds me of a brilliant(!) idea I once offered him, how to extend the electrical connection from inside a room bulb socket, and how I used to wonder at the patterned lighting that came through the holes in the star and lit the porch staircase, where I used to sit talking with my mom and dad while they strolled in front of the house…
Reminds me of the shining stars in the sky, which reminds me of the part in Kuch Kuch Hota hai, where the little boy counts the stars, and the metaphors related to the inability of counting the stars in the sky, and also of my dear moon, whom I gazed a lot from the balcony of house in Chennai, talking to him when I felt like talking to myself….
And last, but not the least, the evergreen song of which I liked the tune most rather than the words, making me remind of my stint with music in my life…
Twinkle twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky!
Vacation Ideas?
Christmas and New year is just one month away. The train and bus tickets have already been booked. Even the return trip tickets from their native places are already filled.
I used to celebrate New Year usually at my native home mostly, except on twice occasions. There would be special programmes on TV. The Chennai beaches used to be crowded like hell and there would be symptoms of an upcoming festival. Promotion offers at various stores and Blasting ads in various hotels would be spread everywhere. There are some people having children n all who plan their Christmas-New Year vacation. For single guys, I am sure, the usual way of celebration would be a gathering of friends in any pub and dancing and drinking down whole night! 
This year, RK and I would be getting plenty of holidays during that period. Wondering what to do or where to go or to be at home.
What do you think is the best way to celebrate New Year? Or rather, how are you planning to celebrate the holidays?
