Am thinking of how I have celebrated New Year's Eve the last few years...
This year, I am in bed, handicapped because of a knee surgery. And to tell you the truth, quite enjoying all the attention I am getting from the hubby :) He is an awesome one to have by your side when you're sick!
Last year, I was on the plane coming back from India.
A few years ago, I was on the plane again, from Singapore to India.
I can't quite remember the ones I spent here in the US
But the most memorable ones are those in India...with my family rooted in front of the television, watching Doordarshan's New Year's Eve program. We hated the shows, but we absolutely HAD to watch them. That was the only way we knew to celebrate. That was the only night my parents stayed up until midnight! Every year, at the stroke of 12, Dad would switch off the TV and say, "whew, now we can sleep. Off to bed all of you!"
Such sweet and simple times!
Happy New Year everyone!
