Mahe, politically under the Union Territory Pondicherry and geographically in Kerala, is on the shores of the Arabian sea. Main attraction of this place is the Talassery Drive-in beach. We invited the year 2007 here.
Silvery sands of Talassery were inviting us to step barefoot. We get into our shorts and took a plunge into the luke warm waters of the Arabian Sea. It was about 4:00 PM and the waves were perfectly right for us to go that extra feet into the sea. We went waist deep, then a little further to chest deep. After bearing the force of the waves on the chest for a while, we moved further into the sea neck deep.
With a little of fear, a little of excitement, and a lot of enthusiasm, we danced to the tunes of the waves. Whenever a big wave appraoced us, we took a small jump to keep our eyes and noses above the waters. After a little while, we moved a little further to stand on our toes to keep our mouth above the sea level. We jumped and floated everytime a tide tried to drown us.
We felt some thing floating on our feet, sharp came the cry "Crab! Crab!! Don't Grab!!!". From then on, evertime we felt something touching our feet, we cried out loud our freshly prepared line.
After a while, when we started feeling the pull into the sea, we moved outwards and came closer to the beach. It is about 6:00 PM now, we are tired. Although our minds were not satisfied, our bodies could not support anymore. We moved out to the beach now. We witnessed the Sun set for the last time in the year 2006 from here.
After a lot of discussion, we decided to rent place at the resort adjoining the sea. We wanted to experience the feeling of sipping whiskey and watching the silvery sand and sea water shining in the moon light.
At about 11:55, we take a refill and wait for the clock to tick 00:00. Wishing each other a very happy new year, we take the first gulp of whiskey of year 2007.
