There was a nip in the air. A bright morning, the first day of 2003! As the sound of the breaking waves mingled with that of the enthusiastic crowds at Elliots Beach, as the faithful assembled at the Velankanni church for the morning mass, a group caught the attention of those gathered.
All along the two km stretch down Beach Road, past the Besant Nagar Bus Terminus, the CPWD Quarters, Kalakshetra Colony and till the finishing point near Ashtalakshmi Temple, the walkers, carrying banners and placards, were greeted by the enthusiastic people on their way to the temples and churches on New Year's day.
And this was echoed by the participants. "A different New Year experience", "A very new beginning for a New Year," was what some of the others had to say.
