New year's eve at Kovalam



















This is how we got kicked out of the restaurant adjoining a beer parlour in kovalam.first a group of foreign guys wearing stupid hats started singing songs in the beer parlour. So in response, we started singing the national anthem under ammini's leadership.But a hindi speaking guy swayed over and said we shouldnt sing the national anthem in a bar. So we sang "sare jaha se acha" with the hindi guy. That shut up the foreigners. a few of us had ordered dinner in the adjoining restaurant. The guys came and started dancing like crazy to the beat of the chenda melam from the beach below. Ammini and tintumon (reju) were rocking the place but the restaurant workers didnt like it for some reason.

Also seen below, the guys building a sand-something..











We were told that there was lights off at 12. But what happened was fireworks and the cops on the horses chasing every1 off.
Ammini wished all foreigners and policemen happy new year before we left though..
