Christmas carols


Ahhh... year 2005 is coming to a close, and Christmas is in the air. It's the right season for reflection and thanksgiving on the year that has been, for carolling from house to house, for Christmas preparations and family gatherings, gifts and greeting cards, and of course... the Year-End sales.

It is really heart warming, to listen to carollers rendering familiar Christmas carols in their jovial mood, on a cold and dark night (as it has been here). Brings my mind to the scene where a group of nocturnal shepards first heard an angelic choir proclaiming the birth of Christ, back in the little town of Bethlehem many years ago. And that cold and dark night marked a new chapter in human history.

Anyway, due to hectic work schedule, EOD on-call 4 times in a row (if you are in the medical line, you will understand; if you are not, it's too gruesome for your mind, so please ignore this), I am tired. One colleague is in India for annual leave, another was on one-week MC for tonsilitis. Managed to join the carollers for one night only. We had a little Santa Claus with us. Till today I still dunno who was behind the Santa mask. Click to see more photos: Christmas Carolling 2005

Anyway, I am taking leave starting tomorrow. Some rest, at last.

Merry Christmas.
