During my recent visit to my mom's place
Sawantwadi, we have experienced something totally new. On X-Max eve, a group of
passionately dressed Christians visited our place. The group consists of around
25 people, couple of Santas, Merry, star, wand, guitar, other musical
instruments and what not. They were given a cluster of 10 houses to cover. They
came, prayed, sang euphonious melodies, blessed us, illuminated the stars
during the performance, danced to tunes, and what not, the list is endless.
To my surprise, the list of items performed by the same group at neighbours
places were different. OMG. It was an awesome and touching experience indeed.
While leaving our house, one of the participants handed over the perfumed
candle to place in our house for warmth of wishes of X-Mas and birth of Jesus.
Spreading blessing by visiting various houses, taking out time for such a good
cause and as a social activity, is worth noticing. The members of group
consists of professionals, students, church empolyees, mothers, homemakers etc.
X-Mas period at Sawantwadi near Goa, gave
me superb collection of memories. To add one more, in my list was the
distribution of home-made delicious, healthy eatables, both sweets and spicy
stuff. Wow. I was really astonished to see that the eatables were exactly same as
maharashtrians make during Deepavali festival. Wow, complete resemblance. So
nice to see that. Only difference was, all items were having the flavors of
Konkan.
So this year, I was able to relish Deepavali sweets twice in the same year, few
months apart, with varied aroma and essence to cherish.
