Mommy, Who's Santa

Christmas is a time of joy
It’s about being with family, having a good time
And thanking god for all that he has given us
Hey did I miss Santa’s gifts?

I say, being a kid is beautiful
You live with a lot of misconceptions
Like every other kid, I used to believe in santa
But as dumb as I was, i used to tell dad what I wanted for Christmas
So every time he would be my santa
And give me all that I had wished for
He tried his level best to keep Santa alive...

But irrespective of whether santa exists or not
He has sure gifted happiness to the world…
A four year old does not know who santa is
But is happy coz he got his favourite toy car...
A ten year old enjoys the pudding and the snow fight
A sixteen year old girl is happy as she gets an excuse to go and meet her boyfriend
Parents are happy coz the entire family celebrates together
Elderly see a connection to god in the candles they light
Even a child selling santa’s mask at the traffic light is happy
He doesn’t know who santa is
But the mask sure helps him earn bread for his family!

Today, in our busy lives, Christmas has become more important
As it makes us come together as FAMILY
Which we might not otherwise
How I wish I could still live in those misconceptions
And get up next morning to find a chocolate under my pillow
And with the same innocence, while eating my chocolate, ask my mother
Mommy, who’s Santa?

Wasted in Love…

There are times when you wait for things to happen
And when they do,
You feel like you are the luckiest person on earth
The sun shines at you,
You feel the warmth inside
Life looks beautiful...
But soon you realise
That love is not that pink and fluffy.

Let me come to the point
I loved someone.
At least I thought I did.
I don’t know if it is the same now
I had won him after a lot of struggle and nights of blaming god
Back then things were great between us
The midnight talks,
The moonlit walks

I had it all
Before tables turned
And I realised that those years of waiting and blaming god
Was a waste of emotions and nothing else
I wasn’t that lucky
After all, all that glitters is not gold…right?
So I cried…
Days, sometimes nights…
I wanted to quit but then…
Something made me reflect back.
And I smiled, at my innocence
It was then that I realised that god was teaching me an important lesson
That everything you ever want is not always good for you
And that is why you don’t get it
As simple as that
But we still blame him, don’t we?
I know, he knows what’s best for me
And lately, I have started trusting him ;)
Guess what?
The sun is shining at me again
I see a future…
Far away, far better…
Who was I kidding?
I am too precious to be wasted in love…
