Another year has gone by with lots of memories, good and bad. The coming of a new year is associated with lots of things, amongst them, according to me are 2 things that we plan even before the new year starts. One is the celebration, the welcome party for the new year and the other is the resolutions we take.
I am not a very keen planner for celebrations or party, but I try to do something different on 31st just so that it becomes different and hence memorable. Well this time I did not have to do anything different. I was and am in Auckland this new year.
My New Year celebration was amidst a huge crowd in downtown Auckland. My first new year celebration outside my home country. Swelling crowds had gathered to see the fireworks in the Sky tower. The building is the tallest in New Zealand, and the new year is welcomed with
colourful fireworks from the top. For the first time I saw huge huge crowds on the streets of New Zealand! Compared to the population I have seen on the roads and in general in my home country is different from here, so it was overwhelming to see the people. Roads had to be closed to fit the crowds in the downtown. There were people from all the origins and races gathered to witness the welcome. This was different from all the new year celebs I had all these years, so this year became a little more special. Away from home but in a different way! Good luck to all this year :) May more peace prevail everywhere in this year and forever.
