Santa Claus or Mahabali

I bumped into this defunct Santa Claus yesterday in the parking lot of the hospital where I’d gone to get my blood sugar tested. I thought, “Wow, progressive Kerala and what not!” After giving my blood sample, I clicked his picture and headed home. Once my morning coffee hit my bloodstream, I looked at the picture again, and it dawned on me— "Wait a minute… that’s not Santa! It’s Maha Belly, or Mahabali!" Poor guy’s been doing double duty as both Mahabali and Santa Claus. Ha™ Anyway, he bamboozled me with his appearance for a bit. P.S.: Come to think of it, both Mahabali and Santa Claus visit Kerala only once a year. Santa stays just for a day since he has a larger area to cover, while Mahabali spends ten days here since he only has to cover Kerala. P.P.S.: After breakfast, when I revisited the hospital, I took more pictures of the bloke from all sides. I found him quite cute, especially his beer belly.
