I didn't know Baroda was this crazy about Christmas.May be the NRI or NRG's so to say who are bitten by the Santa Bug have decided to go all out in search of Christmas trees and snow( cotton here) as well as plum cakes in a dry state and those too eggless with the rum soaked plums and raisins missing:((
The traffic jams were in Tons.One wondered if the entire city had decided to come out to shop.A peek inside i realized that it was the usual chaos of people wanting to drive in virtually non existent lanes and flyovers at times due to impatience and those who have returned from abroad for spending their holidays must be saying"Oh what stupid people, they have no traffic sense".A few years back they were doing the same in India:))but now they are foreign returned:))
The Santa ( no pot belly ) as none of the cops volunteered to do that role ,it was taken up by someone who appeared to have starved for years and could just take the weight of the Santa attire and had to be supported by another guy to hold the bag of goodies speaking in Gujarati with the NRG community.They replied back in heavily accented english that sounded like the A,B,C,D( AMERICAN BORN CONFUSED DESIS) which our poor Santa didn't understand.Nevertheless thats christmas in Vadodara----My city and we celebrated the same eating out as all of us are lazy and inflation going to double digits never deters us from spending on foooooooooooood.
