Musings on New Year 2025:  What ails once Tourist Paradise Brindavan Gardens?

If X-Mas is here can New Year be far behind? Before you are done with your X-Mas cake, the New Year beckons you with whiskey bottles for a bash. Revelry begins with good news of New Year resolutions and ends with bad news of drunken brawls and road accidents.
These two days of the Christian calendar are of great attraction to students and youngsters ready to spend money and spare time. For some seniors home is ideal and to some daughters’ home is comfortable.
Some go to exotic places in the company of friends. Those who are Club-birds generally settle for Clubs where they go in style and leave toping, embarrassing the charming ladies. Let it be.
As for me, I decided to stay at home for reasons of health, age and failure to find friends as when young and spirited! And then, the New Year surprise happened. A friend suggested we check-in to the heritage Brindavan Hotel at KRS that has seen the glorious days of Wadiyar dynasty.
