Now And Then

My world as seen from this flat-screen is in its festive mode nowadays. My bookmarks, fav blogs and subscriptions are all recommending me best places where I could get hold of some Christmas glitter, magnificent gift-wraps and a stunning holiday decor. Too bad the world as seen at the back of my uncomfortable computer chair is too austere to even embrace the glory of this festive month. To add to this misfortune, I am on a social boycott in my own house! I am not talking to my mum (yes my best friend) due to some lame but significant issue that took place lately. Neither have I ever been on great terms with Deeja, that today she provides me some company. Never mind, I am too comfortable in my own space, as long as it is not being intruded by anyone. The most I can avail out of these days is watch a couple holiday movies that grant me some amount of bliss for a virtual celebration. Together with a series of Nigella's delectable cooking can jazz it up for me. See, I am that easy to win.

Gladly I don't plan on spending all the Christmases on computer. As things begin to change, so will my Decembers, to come. I wish to visit every spot on this fascinating globe and experience the grandeur of God's creativity. But I exclusively want to experience in person the brilliance of holiday season in its true spirit. I wonder what would it be like to celebrate Christmas watching Manhattan's skyline at night, or sipping on a soothing mocha with the Eiffel tower in our visual field, or baking under the summer sun on a picturesque Australian beach. I am sure they are moments to relish and everyone should delve into them, irrespective of their religious and ethnic backgrounds. They are synonymous to the utter bliss we get when the Ramadan moon is first sighted. My another favorite month, which is far more magical than Decembers.

As I type this note down, my movies for the next three days, or perhaps tonight, are being downloaded fast. After eavesdropping on mom's conversation with my aunt, I think I shall be expecting a few guests to stay over. Just when I decided on lying low, I will have to brace myself up for some kitchen/cleaning time. That means I have eight hours to watch all the movies before I turn into Cinderella-after-midnight. I shall sign out to accomplish my holy mission! Until then take care,
