Yes- Unlimited starters, Drinks, Cocktails, Gourmet food and a whole lot of fun- you name it. Beginning of a brand new year did call for lots of energy and gusto at this glittering and glamorous party. Revelers stamped these magic words on to 2018, at Taj Gateway’s biggest, hippest and happiest New year Eve bash which ushered in the best there can be. This party outwitted and enamored with the charm of variety of cocktails/mocktails/beer/wine etc to get the best out of party people on the Dance Floor. They all either survived the night or bled it all out – and many had one of the most exhilarating experiences of their life!
Off course, 2017 unleashed a million reasons to smile. The revelers did make the first reason to be at Taj Gateway. They immersed themselves along with their loved ones to the scintillating and pulsating music along with the flamboyant flow of Unlimited spirits and food. It was that time of the year again when the old goes away and new sets in! It was time to welcome the greatest year in the history of mankind yet! It was a time to celebrate the legacy of an icon! It was a time to live, love and dance! And the best part was that everyone celebrated responsibly in the name of peace, love and dance!
With all things glittering, the Taj Gateway organizers made a shining beginning to the brand new year – they gave the revelers choice of their favorite music from idiom, easy, happy to Bollywood to shake a leg or two, with the best of DJ playing for the crowd. To the energetic, friendly and courteous Taj Gateway Team, I say “A Job well Done”. No doubt, it was the “Best New Year’s Eve Party” in Town-Taj Gateway Simply Rocks! And the party poopers of the saffron outfits who tried their best to block the celebrations with their threats, but their silly efforts were all in vain, as Mangaloreans who are used to such kind of threats in the past, gave damn to it and partied peacefully and happily across the city, including the one at Taj.
To talk about in general about Mangaloreans, in my perspective, for them the parties, the trips, the getaways none of them get old. In fact, it gets more interesting and confusing with a gazillion new ways to celebrate. What matters is, apart from all the fun, you get a chance on a new start! And for that matter, Mangalureans celebrated the New Year 2018 with zest, enthusiasm, fun, frolic and glamour. As the much awaited New Year’s Eve was closer, Kudla revelers were abuzz with plans of much merriment and all that one can possibly do, to ring and bring in another year- and they all picked their fun destinations to celebrate New Year 2018, including Taj Gateway.
On the last thought, for many New Year is a time for retrospection and revaluation and of course the inevitable New Year’s resolutions. While we make determined efforts to improve ourselves every day, New Year is special. We may laugh or joke that our resolution may not stand the test of time but every year many of us unfailingly make at least one promise to better ourselves in some way. But whatever resolutions you make, either to give up smoking, drinking, etc, but make a resolution that you’ll never give up partying at the next New Year’s Eve bash at Hotel Taj Gateway. Thank You!
