What did you do on 1st January? It became 12.00 midnight for me in a train, somewhere between Mangalore to Bangalore. Woke up once at 12.45, smiled to myself that it is 2009 and went back to sleep again. We were in a sleeper coach (no AC) and it was a little cold.
Then we changed two buses to reach home. After breakfast, I sat down and wrote the entire Surathkal Beach trip account. Now that is a good way to begin a new year for me! But as I cannot upload the pictures from the SLR and the point and shoot camera, the posting of the trip account has to wait. Did many more things (like eating out with friends and reading an academic paper in the evening) but the best memoray of the day is about walking.
I was walking around the area where we are staying and for a while I thought I could feel the waves lapping at my feet again. Of course this lasted only for a couple of seconds but it was such a wonderful feeling.
And while you read this I would be on a train heading North!
So what did you on 1st January?
I went unusually early to bed and consequently went up at 4am, made tea and settled in to read and wait for the day to wake up – it was wonderfully peaceful. The morning went by with phone calls to family, relatives, and friends. Then caught up with my blogging friends. It snowed all day but I went for a walk in the evening – it’s almost as good as feeling the waves lapping at your feet!
I was also on the beach. :)See herehttp://www.cuckooscosmos.com/Travel/2009/01/02/refusal/
I spent got on a plane and 24 hours later it was January 3rd. Ugh. Hate those long flights.
Cuckoo, lovely way to begin a new year! Thanks for sharing.Fida, you walked in snow too! I am scared of walking in snow, as I slip and slip.Cindy, I can understand, so you must be back to Bangalore.
I simply slept…
Shrinidhi, that is another great way to spend the day!
We were on the road in Bangalore moving from one friend’s house to another…virtually one end of the city to another..but it was good as it became one of my most sociable new years eve 🙂
Lakshmi, so many good ways to spend the day!
