FOREIGNERS WELCOME 2015 AT TAJ SAVOY OOTY

BY P S SUNDAR                  

                   Braving biting cold, Christians attended midnight New Year mass in churches in Nilgiris on Wednesday night.

Foreigners joined residents at hotels and ushered in 2015 with dinner, dance and greetings.

“This is our first visit to Nilgiris but it is eventful as Indians help us welcome 2015 in style at Taj Savoy New Year treat”, Stale Rygh, psychiatrist from Norway, told me. 

“Savoy’s food variety, colourful lights, games and cheerful welcoming of the New Year made us feel at home”, Dai Carpenter, sportsperson from Wales, said.

“Savoy helped us attend midnight mass at Ooty’s historical St Stephen’s Church”, Shiao Kuan Maddox of Taiwan noted.

“This New Year at Savoy has become memorable for us as it has given energetic start”, Candy So, bank officer from Hongkong, noted.

“Some foreigners have collected menus of Indian dishes from our Executive Chef Ravi Ekamburam”, Savoy General Manager P Vibhakar added.
