The city's famous heritage address - Bow Barracks inhabited by Christians and Anglo-Indians - bustles with activity as children and the aged revel in festivities, which start well ahead of Christmas.
There are carnivals and music festivals, football and hockey tournaments and unions the families with their loved ones, who have travelled miles to be here for the occasion, and not to forget the free-flowing wines, ales and the sinfully alluring culinary delights. If it is Christmas it has to be Bow Barracks.
“Christmas celebrations here are matchless. The enthusiasm, the revelry, homemade raisins, ginger wines, cakes and Bow Barracks and Christmas are synonymous,” says Daryl Lobo, one of the 130-odd families that live in the row of red brick buildings.
