Christmas in Bangalore


One of the many things I really like about India is that everybody celebrates every festival. Be it Christmas, Diwali or Ramadan. They are always great opportunities to catch up with dear friends and share with them a bit of joy and tradition. And that is exactly what I did for Christmas, a nice dinner at home with friends !
