Magnolia Celebrates 3rd New Year Day with a display of incredible talent

Its been a while since I wrote my Magnolia Blogs. Used to be pretty regular just after we moved here in July 2009 (the only owner to have moved in then). Travel and work took their toll and my blogs stopped as you can see.

Magnolia decked up like a bride

But when I saw the spectacular display of talent by the Magnolia children during the New Year celebration yesterday, I said I must get back to my writing ... to capture the moments in the life and times at Magnolia and to share with the Magnolians who coule not be there yesterday.

Beauty, Poise, Dance .. Magnolia
Children were a joy to watch

The next Jet Li, Bruce Lee?

We started Euphoria on 15th August,2009 with our first event : flag hoisting. The whole purpose was to start early as Magnolia fills in and to bring the residents here together in the spirit of co-habitation and community living dotted by good feeling, friendship, celebration, fun and combined accountability for the upkeep of this property : Magnolia, that we have all chosen to live in.

The New Year Celebration yesterday was a part of the same intent .... Sangeeta, Sunitha, Urmila, Sobha, Vimala, Babitha etc., did an incredible job of organizing the event and the following dinner.


It was a visual delight to see our children go on stage to deliver scintillating performances : our own very Bruce Lees, Ballerinas, Country singers, Classical singers and dancers and not to leave out our teens firing up the dias with foot tapping music and dances ...

Our Own Swan song

The best part was the attendance ... this really was the fist time the Amphitheater filled up ...

It was my privilege to have captured some of the moments in pictures so i can capture them for posterity and share them for those not present ...


Dear Magnolians .... I wish you an incredibly happy New Year. I wish you health, happiness, wealth, success, peace and harmony ... I wish you a song in your heart, sprint in your step, stars in your eyes and an eternal smile on your lips ... May you always have all that you ever cherished ...


Look forward to keeping the blog alive .... tell me what you think ...
