Its Christmas!

Hey everyone! its Christmas!
I am way more excited than i should be, given that i dont even celebrate it... but i have tried out a few new things this year... for example, yesterday i was invited by my friend to hear her church choir in a big programme.. It was nothing less than a revelation.
AS soon as I entered the commencing prayer was said.. it was in Malayalam, and my other hindu friend and I were astonished as to how close it sounded to a priest chanting in sanskrit in a hindu temple...
The hymns gave me chills... almost literally.. the harmony and the chorus really did send shivers down many spines, and i truly enjoyed the whole experience!

I have this belief that one must , atleast for a month, practise all the other religions but his own, and one would realise how similar all the religions are, and also learn to accept all the differences too.
I sooo wanna try Buddhism :D not that i dont like my ownn.. I am just curious about the others , thats all.
I have always had this ... umm.. craving shall we say? to visit all the different House of God for every religion.. so far, despite living in an Islamic country, I haven visited a mosque.. unless you count the Jama Masjid, but that dosent count since i didnt actually go inside, i just saw the courtyard :P
so.. I ve been to temples (many) , a couple of churches, though not during service, and yah,.. thats it.. not even a chinese temple, though i am DYING to go into one... well i need to patient dont I?

So anyway, Heres wishing all my readers (if there are any ) a very MERRY CHRISTMAS !
My new year post is a -fast approaching...
I hope you did something useful this year, coz i certainly havent.. apart from seeing my Most FAVORITE SPortsperson in flesh and blood in front of me.. (refer to Dubai post, somewhere in March)
Yah thats about it. This year has been quite frustrating to put it plainly.
More later
Love y'all (if y'all even exist)

I love Winter

ahh..winter.... i love the cold! I love the foggy breath, the cuddling into as many blankets as possible, the laziness in the mornings, THE HOT CHOCOLATE!
Although it dosent snow here, winters are still awesome! :D

Oh today is the wintefr solstice! The gods are gathering for their semi-annual meeting at olympus, dark magic is at its strongest, and Ancient monsters are stirring.... SO Happy Solstice everyone! I hope you lot have done something useful on the shortest day of the year! 

Jabberwocky

This is my favorite poem.. the only one which I bothered to memorize completely.
Why? Well, there are a number of reasons for that!
Firstly, it makes no sense, it is covered with nonsensical terms which have no inner meaning whatsoever, and yet this amazing poem is known worldwide.
Secondly, it describes the triumph of good over evil, I know that there are many such pieces, but this one combines my favorite things when related to fighting evil- A monster, and a magical sword :)
Thirdly, but most importantly, this poem made an imprint on the world of literature. Not only is it a  part of one of the most famous books in history, it also lead to the coining of many new words which ended up in the Oxford Dictionary!
I want to be able to do that. To make my mark on this world, to leave behind a legacy which people would cherish. I want to change somehting in this world, however small. I want to be remembered, to carve my niche on this Earth. That is my dream. To Be Unique.

Below is the entire poem completely memorised and written by me.

JABBERWOCKY

T'was Brillig and the slithy toves,

 Did gyre and gimble in the wabe

 All mimsy were the borogroves                                                              

And the mome raths outgrabe.

Beware the Jabberwock my son!

Of jaws that bite, and claws that snatch!

Beware the JubJub Bird, and shun

The frumious bandersnatch!

He took his vorpal sword in hand

Long time the manxome foe he sought

so rested he by the TumTum tree,

and stood awhile in thought.

And as in uffish thought he stood

The Jabberwock with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood

And burbled as it came!

One ,Two, One Two, and through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

He went galumphing back.

And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Calooh Callay!

He chortled in his joy.

T'was Brillig and the slithy toves,
 Did gyre and gimble in the wabe
 All mimsy were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe.
