December of 2010

Season's greetings started pouring on to my mailbox that month. It was a special month. The month of Christmas. Month which marks the end of a year, waiting for the brand new year. It was December of 2010.

That December didn't have much of action. It lacked a punch; let me put it in a freak way.

In the last week of December, couple of my roomies went to their hometown. The usual 'gang' wasn't fully present for a bash for the new year.

On 31st December 2010, short in members, our gang headed towards Thiruvanmiyur beach. Beach is just 100m away from our house. There were a lot of families and bachelors pouring into the beach. A group of bachelors already started dancing in one corner of the beach road. This group dropped their voices of cheers as an when a police jeep made its rounds close to the beach.

At 12.00AM, 1st January 2011, strings of firework got triggered all over the beach coast. A moment when everyone at the beach got elated to the highest spirits; forgetting all the worries in their life.

Spirits high, we walked our way to our house; making the way through the crowds who were wishing and hugging, shouting out 'Happy New Year'. Most of them were in moment of self elation, thanks to the contribution of the 'spirit lifter'. We wished them back, let them be 'glorified'.

Welcome, 2011!
