It happened on the eve of Christmas.......

“It happened on the eve of Christmas”, his voice had a different tone – a mix of excitement and anxiety. “Hold On, Hold On!!!” the flow and the enthusiasm was curtailed.  “What is Christmas?” both the parties in the conversation were puzzled. “Christmas!!! You don’t know Christmas?” Dichku Damaal (DD) continued his question by the answer, “the day when Jesus Christ was born”. Dummasi (Du), still in his befogged state, inquired, “Who is Jesus Christ?” DD doesn’t want to get diverted by the question, miss the opportunity that he has to elaborate, continued, “Ignore that, on some day, I decided to proceed and went ahead with all the preparation. Even though the intention was correct, with an unconventional approach, any execution is considered unethical. When I reached the place, I realized that I don’t have the list. This has been my problem throughout -- I forget to remember, but I never remember that I forget. The duration between two instances, I forget, is, indirectly proportional to the amount of detail I intend to remember. At times and at that time, this had caused me major loss. So I was mentally prepared for the trouble. The effect then was worst and the experience was the last for me.” – DD was just in a flow. Annoyed by the un-contextual and irritating monologue, Du attempted to hit a full-stop, “Ok, tell me what were to trying to do?” DD, interrupted in the process, asked, “by the way, I am surprised, How come you don’t know what is Christmas?” Du reached the peak of tolerance and escaped himself from the scene. DD wants to sort out the Christmas problem, glided through a few meters and reached the building. With his Saadhar ID, he went in and enquired about Du. Initial few verifications passed through and he was waitlisted. People were in-lined and he en-queued himself in the end of the list. He was lucky, that the (tail – 1) ^th person initiated the dialogue, “How long are you here”, DD counted his fingers and they were sufficient for him to answer, “Four”. “Oh, that was pretty long, and, how”. DD, with no excitement, answered, “It started with two knives and ended with four wheels”.  Peer sighed, “Argh... One in ten stories… mine was natural”. DD, in dejection, spelt, “Not all are lucky”. Opponent, inviting a diversion, probed, “What are you here, in the queue, for?” DD persisting in his puzzled state, shared, “You know, people here are not aware of Christmas and Jesus Christ” and he was countered by the companion, “Christmas/Jesus Christ – what are these?”  DD closed himself, included his current counterpart also in the list of queries along with Du, and waited for his turn, submitted his query, got the result. It read, “The people about whom you are enquiring died before Jesus Christ was born”. DD correlated that he died in 2222 AD -- actually, “It happened on the eve of Christmas.......”
