I remember jotting down a couple of lines on this blog about Christmas last year – my first one at Wimwi. Coming to think of it, that was also my first Christmas away from home, and although Onam is a grander festival at home, I have missed the latter many more times. Perhaps because Christmas falls in what is typically accepted as holiday season. Of course, Wimwi follows it own rule with regard to holiday seasons (if they exist at all, that is), and no eyebrows are raised here when classes are held on New Year Day.

Thankfully, the day of Christmas is a holiday even here, and this time too the celebration was memorable, thanks to generous and enthusiastic friends who also tolerate vegetarianism well!
