A little prince in the cake shop.

I was on my evening walk, to a nearby park .I happened to pass a cake shop. I halted a bit, having a look at the cakes.Just in front of the shop sat a homeless lady asking for alms, with a 5 year old child. The child would run into the shop ,look at the cakes and would look at the storekeeper.I heard him ask a man."Uncle, cake", pointing to a chocolate cake piece .The man looked sympathetic. But he went on with his business.The child looked very sad and I felt sorry for him.By then a lady customer took pity on the child and bought him the cake .I thought the child would now gobble the cake .But to my surprise he waited ,was thankful to the lady. Even though he had the cake in a paper plate in his hand, he said "spoon , spoon".the shopkeeper smiled and passed him a spoon. Wow, this boy had class. Even though he was homeless and had shabby clothes,he had admirable qualities. Yes ." A little prince on the street" ,I muttered as the child ran joyfully to his mom.How good is that for Christmas season.

Something important

Several months back , I read an interview of a woman who was going through a very hard time. She said in it ,the only regret in her life was, she couldn't spend enough time with her father and he passed away. I am grateful that , I listened to her .And tried to spend a bit of time with my sick father.Though very meagre and may be sometimes few minutes a day .But still very less ;for which I feel bad. So someone hearing ,please spend time with your old parents. For one day they will be gone and we will wish we had spent more time with them. 

Uncle , really

This is the second time, 2 different young women in their early twenties ask me "Uncle, is the busstop here or does this number bus, stop here". I just nod .hmmm.

Ok,  let me focus on the positive .To them I appear as a dignified approachable gentleman and no, I am not old to be  their uncle.I am just 33.

What I want for Christmas

Hey, Santa
I ve been a good boy.
I had a bit of mischief.
But you know I am a good lad.

All I want for Christmas
Is to tell the King
To pass a kiss for me
To my old man
My Darling Papa

A Kiss on his forehead
And tell that I love him
And I will do him proud
And I will see him oneday.

But for now  I sing Happy Christmas
Dear Santa,
This is all I want for Christmas.
