Santa Claus- Real or Fake?

-
My experience-

I have heard all those dogmatics that Santa Claus comes to your house the night before Christmas that is the Christmas Eve. But always I used to ignore those things.But this Christmas may have changed my feelings about the Santa.

It was a cold and freezing evening when I had made surprises for Mom and Dad when Mom reminded me that I had to write a letter to Santa.I write one every year in which I tell Santa about my year, my new year resolutions, conclusions and obviously gifts that I want the next year. So then I wrote a sweet and terse letter to dear artificial Santa (the word artificial Santa is mentioned according to how I used to think before).
 Normally I keep it under my pillow but this time I rolled it up and tied a ribbon around it and kept it in my socks near our lavish and opulent Christmas tree. The next day when I woke up I went to get my gifts when I noticed a difference there. I realized my letter wasn't there! I was flabbergasted at the difference.I went to Mom and asked her if she had taken it but she didn't have it, my Mom is not a liar she tells the truth. My Dad didn't even know what I was talking about. I was depressed and so much that I returned bed without even opening my gifts. I know it isn't a thing to be forlorn about but I wasn't intrepid enough to bare the truth. I was sulking on my bed when Mom gave out a yell. I was daunted at first but when I came to know everything was fine I calmed down.Mom told she was frustrated on seeing an unknown letter. Which unknown letter? Where is the letter? And from whom it is? all kinds of questions impeded my mind when I saw the letter. There was my name written in bold letters. I took it to my room and sat on my cozy bed to read it. It said:

Dear Prarthana, 
you have been commendable this year. Though sometimes you disobeyed your mother, I am impressed with your work. Your all wishes will be granted in the next year or even this too.
There is a request from my side also; please remain the same forever.
Wishing you a happy and merry Christmas,
Yours loving and warm,
SANTA CLAUS

I read the last word over and over. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was like they would just pop out of my head!

This incident has changed my belief.Though I am not sure if Mom had taken it or not.So saying I have ambivalence towards Santa sounds right.

When Wishes Come True by Rabindranath Tagore

A BOOK REVIEW: This story explains that you always don't get what you wish for, and if you do there can be many complications. It explains one of the most important part of  our life. It tells us that our childhood is something we should enjoy to its fullest, for time never turns back. The story has two protagonists so it isn’t exactly possible to hate anyone. Tagore begins by saying that namesakes aren’t always true- a reference to Subal and Sushi, ad their paradoxical attitudes. As they make their wishes they are granted, too. But as said in the preamble there were too many complications. This book actually was a reconciliation of four stories and I liked this story the best. Its author, Rabindranath Tagore, was a well known poet, laureate, artist and philosopher- he wrote elegant prose and magical poetry. His stories are quite sensitive, fresh and beautiful.

Stages of a Stressful Homework

HOMEWORK- SHOULD IT BE BANNED: PART II After coming to a conclusion that homework can be worthwhile as well as another thing for the students to sweat about, this post illuminates the stages a student goes through when completing a homework- before, during and after. Before receiving a bundle of homework the students, generally, are seen trying to enjoy the last minutes of their freedom and sovereignty. Once having obtained homework from one subject, they try to prepare themselves for the upcoming war. By the end of school, they are already analyzing how much of their play time will be compromised in trying to complete the homework. Even though, some humane teachers don’t ask for the submission of the homework the following day straightaway, but majority of the students prefer completing the homework beforehand due to their own explicit reasons, one of which being the fact that teachers give extra marks to those who submit homework and assignments before the deadline. The s...

The Story of All Parents.

Note to my dearest parents: Happy birthday! I am sorry I cannot give a better gift to you than a mere blog post- but words are the only gifts that can even come close to explain how much I love you, and how much you mean to me. I hope you understand. Parents. They are the only people in the universe who give you every single thing in the world and never ask for it back. They let you dwell on your dreams and keep the problems faced during the course of accomplishing it to themselves. They will always let you think that everything is alright even when they are under more pressure than they can handle. Parents will do anything to shield you from your fears and enemies but yet won’t be afraid to tell you to stop when you walk into the wrong direction. They act like a compass- it shows you the right direction flawlessly unless there is too much of magnetic force. Similarly, parents can tell you what to do and what not to, but once you start to take into account- the...
