AVE you noticed there are more malnourished Santas sweating outside Chandana Brothers outlets than there are actual Christians in India? That's Hyderabad for you - where Christmas isn't just a holiday; it's an annual spectacle of capitalism dressed up in red, white, and synthetic beards. And honestly? It's glorious.
Take the Christmas tree at GVK Mall, for instance. It's so over-the-top, even the tree at St Mary's Church must be questioning its faith. Restaurants join the festive spirit by adding red and green food colouring to everything from pasta to pulao. And every year, Maa Saraswati Vidya Mandir - a school otherwise dedicated to Sanskrit shlokas - suddenly bursts into Jingle Bells. That's the magic of Christmas, folks: it makes everyone forget their affiliations, at least for the last six days of the year.
