This is a story of a great coincidence and a merry and happy story too.

Every year as December begins (and I have written this in an earlier birthday post of Mohammed Rafi Saab), I look forward to my birthday and also that of my Idol. But there is another great character who we all remember very fondly as the month of December starts. And we look forward to his appearing before us. We keenly await his arrival, and stay awake, waiting for him.

I have no words…
