Colours of Victory! Cricket World Cup 2011: India!

I am falling short of words and never before in my life have I wanted to talk more. A sweet, long awaited victory for Team India at the Cricket World Cup 2011 finals in Mumbai and Delhi erupted into a celebration that the city has never ever witnessed before. The whole city was on the roads celebrating the return of the Cup after 28 long years. Everywhere one turned one saw people proudly carrying the Indian Tri-Colour (Flag), dancing to bollywood numbers, cheering for the Men in Blue, greeting strangers with priceless smiles. We were not Delhiites last night. We were all Indians: Proud, Happy, Content :-)

Here is my photo-collection from last night's celebration on all the roads leading to India Gate!

Ray of Hope

For several years I have rarely fulfilled any of my New Year resolutions. This year I am happy to share with you all that I have managed to keep one of the many resolutions for the year 2011. Over the weekend, I bought a DSLR camera for myself with the help and guidance of a dear friend, Ashwini. The fact that I did keep one of the resolutions gives me a ray of hope that I might be able to keep some more in the months to come.

This is the first shot I took from my new camera. In the days to come I will flaunt my new camera and more clicks from the machine will follow.

Achappam to Celebrate the Year that Has Gone By

This is achappam, a Malyali snack, which one of my friends at office, Sheena, brought for me. Crunching on this slightly sweet and savoury snack is the best way to reminisce about the year gone by and plan for the coming year.

Hope all you will take the good that happened to you this year into the future and leave anything upsetting that 2010 brought into your lives.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year 2011! May your sorrows in the coming year be as short-lived as your New Year resolutions to lose weight :D
