Discovery in the Kiwi Land III

It has been a pretty long time since I have written, the pain in the winter will definitely yield to joy in the summer, this is what I have believed and it certainly turned out to be so on all fronts. Life just goes on and on and people back home ask you eagerly when i will be coming back and you do not have a concrete answer to that and say an approximate date , on which anything can happen. This is the situation of most of the people who go abroad hoping to return back in a given time frame.

When every person who is working with you and who is from your country leaves, you get a feeling of being back home and when you are sick the intensity of the feeling goes up beyond words. Life is not a bed of roses and you need to get adjusted to lot of things. We keep subsiding this feeling when ever it surfaces looking ahead to the weekend , when we will pump some energy to add some spice to life by going to gatherings and events.

One such event is the Santa parade which is brought by a retail store known as Farmer’s; it is huge parade with the majority of the Brands participating in the store. It is an excellent marketing idea to combine the promotion of the products, the beginning of the Christmas sale, awareness and the fun and frolic truly bringing across the spirit of Christmas on a sunny Sunday afternoon where you can find the diversity of New Zealand in all its forms, the kiwi’s the immigrants, the young, the old, the bold and everyone under the sun, seen on the Queen street, the most happening place for this city where the “City Never Sleeps”.

As our elders say the hype and happiness before a festival or a holiday is much more than the occasion itself, so keep it abreast. We look forward for Christmas which is the season of spreading love, the season of giving and the season to look forward to the future with greater hope and a sense of optimism.
