Happy New Year everyone!

'New year' days are great. The countdown to midnight is the icing on the cake.

New Year 2004: I was in the thick of things in Brigade Road, Bangalore.
New Year 2005: I was in Manali, reeling in the terrible icy chill.
New Year 2006: I'm at the campus. With sentiments running high, with just under 2 more months to go before graduation, with about 240 folks around, the countdown was cheerful, colorful and sparkling. Literally. Firecrackers went up; champagne was sprayed; colored beams and lights filled the vicinity; the dance floor was lit with a soft red glaze, and the cheering shook the hill.

Wish you all a Happy and Prosperous 2006!!!
