‘Have I done my daily task? Have I kept my honour bright…’ goes an old Boy Scout song, which, somehow, expresses the contemplative mood that the year-end sets in. Although it is common to dismiss the onset of the New Year as just another day on the calendar, a little retrospection of the year gone by is bound to happen – whether you have begun the year on a ‘resolution’ platform or not.
With every passing year becoming a milestone, erected with memories of events and achievements, it is but human to look back and ponder over the year gone by, before setting foot on the New Year.
Our Cover Story is an extension of this reflective mood, as we speak to a few prominent people from different walks of life about the year that was for them, and the aspirations pegged on to their New Year. There is an element of positivity as 2016 promises to infuse positivity, locally as well as globally.
To add to the current holiday mood and the festive cheer, we have packed our special pages with a roundup of the city’s hotels and resorts, where most of the action is bound to happen. With 2015 perfectly culminating on a weekend, this NYE is guaranteed to get everyone in a party mood; one that will certainly set the pace of the New Year on a highly upbeat note.
So, gear up for a promising 2016 as it is a curtain call for the eventful that has the year gone by, as FACES asks a few prominent people in the society to take a long pause and ponder over the year gone by, while they envisage a promising New Year… Ring out the old and bring in the new, as hotels in and around the capital gear up for the special eve with festive spreads and fun activities
Here’s wishing every one of you a very Happy New Year!
