2008, a year, near and dear to us. Memorable in many ways. Had great fun @ college with some we might not meet again or would not meet in many years to come. Finally, we graduated from college and can finally call ourselves ENGINEERS. But these 4 years spent in college where our golden days, our days of glory, our HAPPY DAYS, which made 2008 a memory of a life time. Made new friends, keeping the old ones’ intact. Learnt and experienced things about life, by slowing down in the fast lane of life, by pulling out of the rat race before getting back into it yet again. Was able to see stuff which is not visible when moving fast in life. . .
With all the fun, stood before us was our uncertain career, confusion hauling around the world due to a minor glitch which turned a major catastrophe in the financial state of the world. Taken by surprise was the terror attack @ MUMBAI, which shook every Indian to the core. We still persist to see the amount of challenge the year ahead is about to throw at each and every person in the world.
With not knowing what to expect, here we stand to welcome yet another new year, 2009, with open hearts and a modest celebration.
As with a few of us, we choose a different way to celebrate the new year by getting out of the city and spend some time with just a few of the most loved friends and nature to accompany with. We planned to leave to Sakleshpur on the eve of New Year to party in a farm house. But with uncertainty and a lot of confusions, as the year 2008 has always been, everyone ended up staying back in the city. We thought it was our final destiny was to be. So we all moved on making our own plans, some of the friends stayed home relaxing the rest of the day, some were busy @ work and I choose to end the year with a good road trip, so took off with on Bi-CyClE, made a 30-40km trip to Bidadi and back home, was a great journey, though made it alone, would have been better with friends accompanying. As the hours count down on the year 2008, we F.R.I.E.N.D.S, tried to walk into the New Year with join hands but in vain. Though, we did not leave each other, but welcomed the year 2009 together with open cell phone connections, thanks to the cell phone operators of the city, thanks guys, you din let us down .
1-1-2009 (WillCome 2009)
Me and some of friends decided to start the year with on a good note, so 5 of us got together in a very short notice at about lunch time and headed to Bannerghatta in my bro’s car. We planned for a night safari @ Bannerghatta National Park, which according to an article on a newspaper was being organized off late to attract more people we crawled through the traffic only to know that the NIGHT SAFARI is literally, NON Existent. But heyyy, we had planned for an alternative this time so that the plan doesn’t totally FLOP. So as an alternative we went on a hiking to a near by hill which we got to know, by a blog. The hill is very close by, we come across a fork on the road to the National Park from Bannerghatta Bus Stop, taking a left will take you to the National Park or maintain course right ahead we reach the foot of the hill. We can visit 3 temples on the way to the top of the hill. The hilltop view was as usual amazing, since we were only 22km away from the city, we had a fantastic view of the city, with city lights glittering like colorful starts, but only down to the earth, on one side of the hill and on the other side, we had a fantabulous sunset, WOW, what an evening it was, really!! With all, very hungry, got down real fast, buckled up and were on the way back to Bangalore. Decided to have dinner on the way back home. We had our dinner at “WOODYS”. Were very lucky to get a table for the 5 of us, real fast, in a matter of few minutes, thanks to Bangalore traffic again, a family who had booked a table were delayed by the traffic, so we were allotted their table J. Having a decent food at “WOODYS”, we reached to my place and part our way back home by wishing each other a HAPPY NEW YEAR, hoping the New Year will do good to all.
