From Novena MRT station below the Novena Square shopping mall, I took a train to Dhoby Ghaut, the third and last station on Orchard Road. And there finally it did feel like Christmas as I walked into the Plaza Singapura shopping mall. The Sunday Times today reported: "Bumper sales as shoppers pack malls". This mall was packed all right and bright with Christmas decorations.
But I didn't feel like visiting any other Orchard Road mall. It was raining. And Christmas isn't Christmas when I am alone. I took the train back home from Dhoby Ghaut and called my wife in Calcutta (Kolkata). I also spoke to my son, who has flown home from his college in America to spend his Christmas holidays with her. We used to spend Christmas and New Year together, but we couldn't last year. And this year too it's the same sad story.
