There is a saying one crippled person was thinking that God had created him only as he is until he met another on a christmas celebrations day in the parish. I had seen one chirstmas get together with some tablos and was highly impressed. But after seeing the MANASA programmes I changed my view point. They have excelled in all the presentations though they were unfortunate ones. may God bless them with Christmas joy and New year s Happiness and better fortunes. |
