Christmas

My neighborhood is historically Christian so it has been lit up and decorated for the last week or so. For the rest of the city Christmas involves a party on the 24th and a long weekend but many hindus treat Jesus or Mother Mary as another god they can entreat to protect them. They believe in the power of a certain church and visit there as well as a temple. On Christmas Eve I go with Shivang and Naina to light a candle before we meet others for a party. Friday and Saturday are lazy days, I meet with friends for a meal here and there, go to see Three Idiots - snacking on samosas and sipping mango juice at intermission - and sleep a lot. Sunday I take the train to Thane where we have a Youth Venture outreach. At the end of the weekend I feel rested but have accomplished very little.
