In pics: Hello 2020, Decade and World! From Singapore

Scale, tech and sheer joy is the way to best describe incredible new year celebrations at the Marina Bay Sands, here in Singapore.

As Dr Shashi Tharoor would have described the awestruck people who witnessed the incredible evening; for once it did not matter if adults acted puerile and were left esurient for more.
 
Look up these words and you will agree that these pictures would have elicited the same emotions.

Have a great 2020!
