Lucia

No. I am not going to write about about any girl. But am going to mention about a group of girls Today evening I was going to a ilai thazhai party at my swedish friends place. Somewhere around Botaniska Garden a group of girls with Red Bull, got into the tram. No, they were not die hard fans of David Coulthard or Mark Webber. Four of them were wearing the satna claus cap and one of them was in white overall (I dont know what to call that dress. It looked like a white color paavadai sattai), and an electric candle(?) on her head. Then they started singing and dancing in the tram. And to my surprise, other people in the tram started clapping and cheering them. After a couple of stops, the girls got down and vanished. I really had no clue to what I witnessed.

Once I reached my friends place, I told him about this and he said it had to do something with the Lucia festival . It seems in early days, in every ciommunity, they celebarted Lucia festival by making a selected girl wear white overalls and a real candle sing ‘lucia lucia’ along with her friends and a young boy ‘ginger boy’ play along with them. And since the number of fire accidents due to the candle increased, they replaced the candle with electric candle. It is celebrated on 13h of december and is considered as a prelude to Christmas celebrations.

Sounds quite interesting. I wish Anna Adarsh girls sang, atleast, Surangani in 15F

Staying alone is not new for me. Initially I was supposed to stay in a hotel, since the trip is for just 2 weeks. But I requested my company to arrange a flat for me, so that I can cook my own food. And they had arranged a wonderful 3 bedroom apartment, which I was supposed to share with 2 other colleagues.

But due to some change in plans, they will not be here in Sweden for the next 2 weeks. The apartment is extremely good, except for the fact that there is no telephone or internet. So once am outside office, am cut off. In a way that’s good

Yesterday evening I started a bit late from office, and by the time I reached the bus stop it was empty. And there was not a single soul on the road. It was hardly 17.15 and I was quite surprised.

Even more surprising was the fact that, the bus which I took was empty, except for the driver of course. Well I have never traveled in an empty bus and it was a different feeling. After sometime I went to the last seat and sat right in the middle, with both arms outstretched. Aah. I felt very special The journey lasted for about 30 minutes or so, but it was quite an experience.

And to my surprise again, I did not meet a single soul till I reached the apartment. One of those days eh? Guess in Bangalore I was staying alone, and here am living alone Life is good, I tell you.
