The New year 2011 was approaching, it was DEC 31, 2010 where we planned to witness the splendid fireworks at London Eye... well I was very much excited to experience a different New Year celebration!, also had heard about the crowd, rather hell a crowd at there... but nevertheless my mind was all set to watch the beautiful, sparkling, brilliant dazzles...
We walked up to London Eye, made our places for the best view - We stood right in front of London Eye, The London eye was looking more colourful and beautiful than ever, with different lights changing periodically! the trees nearby were decorated with serial lights and there was Dance music on, with powerful speakers! ...it was electrifying :)
But I'l tell you the crowd was horrible, mad crowd, people were drunk, gals were fagging, few had lost senses, they were acting Topsy turvy... my god I was scared... we had to wait there for two hours to start the year 2011 in a most beautiful way!
There were threatening fights, people screaming like hooligans - most of them being Asians and students, localities were faintly visible, they lacked manners, of course they were drunk... I was worried about stampedes, they were pushing each other... It was indeed horrible, I somehow pacified myself to just hold on for some more time!
Finally the count down began before 1 min to 2011, it was projected on to a wall and the crowd roared at their best in unison with the count down display, loads of whistles and howls and when it ticked 00:00, the crackers went on showering!
It was one of the best and amazing fireworks I'ad ever seen! One after the other the rockets and brilliant fireworks went on, we could not see the London Eye in that flashy-spectacular fireworks... It went on continuously for exactly 11 mins...I thoroughly enjoyed it, I really forgot the bad crowd! the chaotic atmosphere... I felt it was really worth waiting for this magnificence... it was mind blowing, I was awestruck, spell bound!
For me, It was probably the best way to start off the new year 2011!
Happy 2011 :)
May this year bring in loads of happiness and good health, effacing off the evil and ignorance from our lives!
God bless!
