This is perhaps the most highlighted event of the year. After tons of work, tons of revision, tons of no meet-and-greet with relatives what can be more relishing than an end of year get together?!
The preparations started a week before and obviously we were all very keen on making it a successful party- we were all enthusiastic!
My grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins (basically my whole khandhan or whatever it's supposed to be called!) were going to come over and we wanted to make sure that they would be hosted par excellence!
We had got everything ready outside the house in the garden where tables stood with a plethora of assortments, cutlery, glasses, bottles and good fooooddd and obviously whilst my stomach wanted to engulf it with its gastric acids and all my eyes were devouring it- yeah i just hope nobody went ill after that ;)
Dad is Dad and he has to make sure that nothing goes wrong and that he can see a glimpse of perfection in every single thing- so there went the charcoal blasting red and exuding intense heat way before dinner time! The Barbecue was starting to come to life and some guests were already reveling some drinks Mom had actually prepared from passion fruit-oh and btw she's been getting passionate about things lately.. (o.O)
Then came the highlight of the Night where all the guys were called upon and urged to Draw Their Animal of their choice and then... To Imitate Them.. Seriously it was the most hilarious part of the night! :P
From a whale to the frog, from a penguin to a cock and from a cat to a fish.. Goodnessss!! Animalistic Voices were distorted and their gait were re-invented. For us Ladies we were left confuse by the end of the show as to whether it is a dog that barks or an elephant...!!!
And when everybody got their respective attires well it was time to seal the Night with a grooving Dance Floor...:D
Thus we managed to get 3 generations together all laughing and sharing love, appreciations, conversations and likings under a sky that was thankfully watching over us!

| The stars soon decked the sky and night came with the scintillating hue of the moon.. My Christmas trees stopped photosynthesizing and dropped dead! hihi..xD and the fuchsia trays got lighter as the folks picked up whatever weapons they felt appropriate to murder the food! |
 |
| Then came the "Walking down Memory lane" moment where I brought out old pictures of my Mam's and Tata's Wedding as well as those of my aunts and Mom! Right that was the epic moment where we all got to revisit me in pink nappies.. O:) |
