Thank you Santa!!!!

It is my usual habit to give a title to my post before I write it. May be, because I usually know what I am writing. But today, my thoughts are not clear, and hence, I am waiting before I finish this post to find a suitable heading for this post.

The Christmas eve is the festival to celebrate the happiness. Santa Claus is loved by people around the world because the Saint visits his followers and shower them with joy and happiness. What does Santa expect us in return??? I suppose, Nothing, because his karma is to spread happiness among the common people who are engulfed with tough situations and loads of problems.

I had a great Christmas eve at my friend's place yesterday and realized that something which money can't buy is the happiness. Just with my childhood friends, having a night out with them, drinking, remembering the old days - some good and some bad made all us happy. The good night sleep at 3:30 A.M was full of satisfaction.

So today afternoon, I thought why not I wish my other friends? So I started browsing through my mobile phone book and started calling my friends. The exercise brought me a pleasant suprise when I get to know that my college mate was sitting in Mumbai airport and waiting to take a flight for Delhi on vacation trip. We immediately made a program to meet on Sunday evening when we will have drinks and discuss the good time we had in the college. Another friend of mine has just come back from USA after three months of training and he told me about his amazing experience of still-the-world's richest country.

Sadly though, two of my friends disappointed. One didn't pick up the phone. He has this eternal program of only picking up the phone, when he needs my help. Else, he doesn't bother to. Still I thought, why not give it a try???

Another friend of mine, whom I consider her as my good friend, disconnected my call. Even she has this bad habit of doing the same at times. I felt disappointed because I called them up, not to ask them for any assistance, but to wish them Merry Christmas and tell that I wish a good 2010 year for them.

I wish they are happy and I hope it is just the coincidence that they didn't able to make up the call. Or else, may be they don't bother, because either they might be really busy that day or have too many good wishes in their kitty to collect anymore. Personally, I crave for blessings and good wishes because they are priceless. You might have hell lots of money, hundreds of friends, but a time might come when nobody are able to help them. In such times, these good wishes help a person come out of the tough situations.

I felt sad for few minutes, but later felt that may be it is not in my destiny to wish my two good friends. Henceforth, I called up two extra people from my phone book whom I ignored presuming that they are no longer friends.

The Christmas evening gave me a very good lesson, that one should not let other waiting for you. One should always try to respond to a call, or else make sure give a call back if you disconnect due to any reason. May be Santa Claus want to teach me this good lesson on Christmas eve and hence, let such thoughts come into my mind.

Thank you Santa!!!! (I think I can make this as my title for the post :)
