Merry Christmas.....finally

Christmas and new year holidays...it has always been so eventful for me...Really miss the times of my stint as one among the Fantastic four organizing holiday programs for everyone in the neighborhood..The best part of it was the timing...Those days had the official 'Power cut' by KSEB in place..So getting audience was very easy...me,bro and cousins...no super powers..no rescue missions..but together ..we were special..
But then time went on...Guess everyone forgot the 'Fantastic four'..though it lived within the four of us..through time..I had to move away from home...Later on each of us had to move to some place or the other in pursuit of higher education or job as is common these days...The realization that we are leaving our childhood behind is painful at times...I miss the 'no responsibility-all play-no pressure' period of everyone's life...
After a long period, yesterday's Christmas was special...I felt as if I was a kid once more...All four of us were there..and yeah..there were more...there were children all around..three cute little girls...one tenth grader..massive audience...and the four of us(of course we are still kids as much as them)...in our 'Udayagiri'..The program was really special coz it materialized from thin air..there were no plans until the party started...Everyone was dancing...Those days it was difficult to arrange music and videos for songs and programs...But yesterday was perfect..Thanks to the 'Youtubes and facebooks'...'The 'laptops and ipads'...Moreover I feel Udayagiri as a techzone these days..So many laptops...surround sound systems and tv sets upstairs and downstairs..keyboards and guitars..and hell load of wires to connect them..(Thanks to a sound engineering student in house..all these came as part of his study materials..)Took us just minutes to connect and make arrangements..
Programs went on for almost 4 hours..Felt good overall...each one of us contributed in some way or the other..and it felt really good to see the girls dance...Felt as one among them...and more importantly everyone enjoyed..
The last time I was part of something like this was the last New year...All four were there and three families together...Me and my brother made the dinner arrangements...That was a wonderful day too...I always wanted to see everyone together..It has always been about taking initiatives...and I hope I would be able to see many more of these in the coming days...
