Christmas is the day when Jesus Christ was born. Christians celebrate Christmas by going to churches, putting up Christmas trees and exchanging gifts. It is celebrated on 25 th of December. People sing Christmas carols and enjoy themselves. People decorate their houses on Christmas. Santa clause comes to each and every one’s houses to give gifts to children. Every year people take 25 days lent for Christmas. They also go out and celebrate the festival. On the day of Christmas we wish all our friends, family and relatives. For Christmas we also make cake, vine and turkey. This is how we celebrate the festival of Christmas. We also send greetings to everyone by SMS’s, and e mails and all. But there are people who don’t believe that Christmas is celebrated on 25 th December. They believe it is celebrated on 7 th January. Christmas is celebrated more often in India than gulf countries.

Life is tough Life is beautiful. God is the one who gives us life and takes our life. We can have a lavish life and a poor life. We must also never waste food. because that is also given to us by God. We must always live a good life. We must be disciplined. If we have money in life, we must never waste it. We would have to face many things in life. Even if our loved ones die we must move on with life because we all have to leave this world and we are all temporary. In life we are first sons or daughters then we get married and become a husband or a wife and then we become a parent and then we become grand parents and then we become great grand parents and then some day we die. This is what life is abt. Sometimes for all that we don’t even have to get married or become all these. Because none of us know what is going to happen in life. We should also help the poor and the needy. We should never be greedy or jealous. We should always be good to every one. I am some one who is good to all...

Diwali is a grand festival celebrated by hindus and Noth Indians. It is a very colorful festival. It comes every year in different dates.   Diwali is celebrated in India more often than everywhere. People distribute sweets and burst crackers.   So it’s a special season. Every one lights a candle with an object as they call it Dia. Even I also celebrate Diwali every year in Kuwait. I go to Salmiya and burst crackers with all my family and relatives. This is my experience on Diwali.

Today I was reading an article on St Augustine. From that what I have understood is that he wasn’t born a Christian. Actually he got converted into a Christian. They say that he was a Roman African. In his article he has written that Christians should avoid astrologers. What he has said is true. Because God is the one who made us and he decides our future and destination. But there was nothing about his death written.

Recently, I went with my family on a train journey after a long time. We went by the Rajdhani express from Kochi to Udupi in an a/c, three tier 2nd class compartment. We had dinner before we boarded from Cochin. When we got into the train we noticed it was not very clean and we were very surprised. Many times they came and offered us food and drinks which were part of the fare but we rejected it as we were in the compartment near the kitchen and noticed it was not neat at all. We slept the whole night in the train and woke up by 6 am as we were to reach Udipi by 7 am. The train was in Mangalore station and didn’t move for a long time. After half an hour we got to know the reason from our fellow passengers. The tracks ahead were blocked due to a land slide. We waited for over nearly four hours hoping the train would move. After some time a passenger sitting near me asked me where I am going and my father overheard them talking to me. And they encouraged us to go by road since Manipal...
