Great year gone

It was a great year gone. It was the year we started the blog and carried it for twelve months. We tried bringing the best and worst alive through words and pictures. We just hope to continue blogging this year too in the same spirit. Instead of just sticking to happennings and places visited we feel we should be blogging more on issues. Regularity was another problem... sometimes it was just one blog for a month. We'll try to set that right too. 2007 is going to be a very important year for us. Deepu is gonna get into her DNB, i'll have to get more busy and serious into my job... more be'coz deepu would be busy herself, many important decisions to be taken. So itz going to be a year to remember too. We'll try to bring that alive on the blog.

The highlights of the last year were offcourse the promotion and our shifting from Puttur to Coorg and again that quick transfer to Udupi... and next our memorable two month trip to the US.

December, deepu and me got back together. After her reaching Hyderabad after that long journey from Washington, she stayed there for abt a week and joined me in Bangalore. I was incidentally in Bangalore for the "Senior Police Officer's Annual Conference". We drove back from Bangalore and spent the last two weeks in Udupi trying to set the home back to shape and visiting the beaches sometime when bored.

The new year night we decided to spend it our own way.. so we decided to go out for dinner and after that just spent about 10 minutes at a party in a hotel coz those hotelwalaahs were insisting and then, when it was quarter to 12 midnight we drove to the beach from where we had a great view of the fire works at Paradise Island beach resort. We wished each other and made calls to everyone (despite the jammed mobile networks) and wished them all a great new year 2007. We spent about an hour at the beach and got back home coz the real party was yet to come. Actually the new year is celebrated in the police by all the junior officers coming to the senior's house.. where they exchange wishes and a small breakfast is arranged. So the morning of 1st jan 2007 was a busy one. We had to get done with all the arrangements to recieve about 200 guests. Guests started pouring in from 8 AM onwards and by 11 AM we were thro' with all the guests and it was a great way to welcome the new year.
