The New Indian Express
|November 11, 2024
As the holidays approach, Chennaiites gathered for a long-standing tradition – the cake-mixing ceremony – at Radisson Blu Hotels and Suites GRT Chennai on Saturday.
-
This occasion celebrated loved ones, friendship, and the joy of the Christmas season.
People were dressed in all-white – from Santa hats to shoes – sipping on coloured mocktails and dancing to Manasilayo. Joining the adults in the performance were kids of Good Life Center, an orphanage in Tambaram. "The kids between ages 10 and 18 have been coming here for three to four years and are always excited. It gives them a new ray of hope and they look forward to this," said Hemambika V, child welfare officer of the Center.
