| Mamzar beach |
After an uneventful (kind-off dull, stuck in traffic, no where on time) New Years eve, I managed to wake up early and chase the sunrise. Warmed the old Alfa and started off at almost 5:45 AM and rushed towards the nearby Mamzar beach. I know that this is not the most exciting thing to do and it was so much boring than getting drunk on New Years eve, howling at the stroke of 12, dancing on the street, being chased home by the cops and waking up on the next day after noon with a terrible headache. Been there, done that. But to my surprise, I was not the only nut head at the beach. Another Indian couple had turned up in their Pajero. At least, they turned up with a big SLR camera while I strolled around with my Nokia camera phone.
After a while we realized that the sunrise cannot be viewed from Mamzar. Apparently, after observing the night sky and comparing with the solar blumglum, I understood that the balcony at our home could give a better view. The other couple rushed towards the next suitable location and I drove towards home, when I caught a slight glimpse of sunlight. I realized that I could get a fine view of sunrise from the Pond park near our home. These are the pics I took.
