Winter Mornings

Hi Readers, ( This is my first post. Kindly bear with the quality and I will make it better in my upcoming posts. This post is narrated in first-person singular(me).) Its been a long while that I have visited my hometown Vellore. Vellore is a rapidly growing city in between Chennai and Bangalore highway. This place goes very hot in summer and very cold in December. I am here now for my short holiday. It's a fine morning now where the clock strikes 7 am and I just got my bed coffee. I always love the morning ambiance in Winter Morning here right from my childhood especially the days from Christmas to the new year. I realized that it is a Christmas day after hearing the sounds of bells from my neighbor's house and it made me feel nostalgic.

According to me, Christmas is directly proportional to the memories of my childhood where I love reading the Charles Dickens famous Drama "A Christmas Carol". This is an epic drama written by Charles Dickens portraying the importance of fellowship with a Christmas backdrop. All the fictional characters are close to my heart right from Ebenezer Scrooge, Bob Cratchit, Tiny Tim, and all the three ghosts. I would travel along with all the fictional characters in this Drama. Even though I am not an avid reader I love reading this Drama again and again. This Drama is all about Scrooge who is a selfish and hard-hearted person and by the encounter of these three spirits, Scrooge becomes Kind and generous. This Drama makes me realize the importance of care for fellow man.

We all used to love waking up to our famous cartoon channels and movies played in HBO, star movies and I am not an exception too. Nothing can beat the feeling of watching the Tv from our Bed with Blanket covered and getting the warm feel. I clearly remember how I enjoy watching "Polar Express" movie along with my Sister. This is the story of a young hero boy on Christmas Eve who boards on a powerful magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus's home. We all would have fantasized about going on a train journey to our dream place because nothing beats a train journey with our like-minded friends. I have prayed a lot to board a train like this right next to my house which takes me to my imaginary places and gets me back.

In Childhood, we pray to God to make us grow up soon. Now we wish to get back to those childhood days back again. It feels good thinking about this nostalgia cases. This makes me realize life follows round-robin. Don't expect companionship all the time to enjoy feel-good moments. Cherish each and every day which becomes tremendous remembrances.

Cheers,
