The 2006 New Year Party was held last Saturday at the Hawaii Grand Hotel. The special attractions this year were the 30 Awards given out and the presence of Ron First, a magician from Israel. The usual lottery/raffles which happen every year were also there. Vidhya or I usually win a Liquor bottle, but that didn’t happen this time and so i guess, we are going to have a “teetotaler” year, the year of row ditty!

Ron FirstThe magician was awesome. There was a big difference from the many magic shows I have seen. This one had a few long tricks rather than the usual many small ones. His start was impressive with the “wine glass trick”.

His best “trick” was at best, shocking. Two guys were called on stage and made to sit on chairs. It looked to be some innocent trick, but both were to be taken on the most shocking ride of their lives :)

Then, there were the Belly Dancers. They have become pretty much, a standard offering at all our parties.

Then, we had the highlight of the evening, the awards. I am highlighting this as the highlight, because i won two awards, one for oustanding excellence and the other for contribution to non-techie areas called the “Because-of-U” award.

Bcos of U !

On the whole, it was a very enjoyable party.
