Monks In India Ushering In The New Year 2009

Have you ever wonder how monks usher in the New Year?

On a dark icy night, candles burning bright

With Holiness taking the chair, Waiting for the hour to arrive

The clock struck 12, pseudo-wine was served

In merriment the monks held their toasts to His Holiness' Long Life


And it ended even before the candle flames went out.

What a Bore!!!!!!!!!!!
