It's New Year's Eve and so I force myself to write something. Anything. As long as I write.
It's a few minutes to 2010. What do you think we are doing? Partying in a hip lounge at a place near the office? Partying with friends/family at home with a lavish spread of eats and lots of fairy lights? Sitting with P romantically bringing in the New Year? Cruising through the roads of "ye Delhi hai meri jaan"? Come on, take your pick. No?
Well, as much as we would like to bring in the new year in the ways mentioned above, none of them are happening right now. The "whys" of it deserve another post. For now, we are sitting in the hostel room. One roommate has retired for the night (or is she pretending to sleep? Very dubious. But why will she pretend to sleep? We hope she won't spring out of her bed at dot 12AM and scare us with a shriekyyy Happy New Year! On second thoughts, we might like that!), the other roommate is out. Where is she? Let us guess. Before leaving, she said she is finally going to say goodbye to ex-boyfriend who is still hanging onto her. What a day to do so, wethinks! But considering the fact that its nearing midnight and she is still not back (she has been gone a few hours now), we have our suspicions that she is gaily bringing in the new year with the dejected lover in one nightclub or the other. So what happens to the current flame? Maybe he decided to join the party.
Enough of the roomies now. Now we will only talk about ourselves. So what are we doing on New Year's eve? We are sitting alone with our sweetest, loyalest (is that a word? Heck! who cares?) friends--the laptop and the television, and P on the line--who is going to a friend's place. And we are feeling LONELY :(
But we will not mope. Nopes. Because we want to be happily bringing in the new year--with a crowd or alone. And of course everything is not all sad either. For starters, we are off tomorrow. Yay! Yay! Yay! Which makes us think of this scenario: You hate your boss. From-the-bottom-of-your-heart. The rich, high-class, snobbish, arrogant, irritable, freaky, rude, yelling-at-you-for-the-smallest-things, making-you-feel-like-a-village-idiot, (We can go on and on and on, but dear reader, for your sake, just for your sake, we will stop) kinda boss. So when the above-mentioned kinda boss gives you an off WITHOUT your asking them, how are we supposed to feel?
Sorry boss. We can't stop hating her. But yes, we are a little assured that she maybe (just a tinny, wee bit chance) a human after all!
Ok, ok enough of ranting now. We have ranted enough for the night. Now, we want to know what you guys are doing or did on New Year's eve. And don't worry, we will try our LEVEL-BEST not to get too jealous. HONEST!
Oh and by the way....Have a Good Year Everyone :)

Happy New Year!
I'm staying in with my family. Best way to ring in the new year...Or at least for me it is. :)
Wish you all the best in 2010.
Well, I attended a get-together my father's colleagues had organised. It was pretty much boring. With all the uncles getting hyper about the new year and aunties sitting in a corner and gossiping, we kids (er...well) were left cribbing about how we could have had a smashing new year with friends or atleast at home in front of the tv!
Now, does that make you feel better? ;)
Ok, honestly, it was not all that bad. It was just ok-ok. Here's wishing you a very happy new year...don't go by how the year starts...it has nothing to do with the year ahead, right?
PS: New Year day, and I missed my bus! :D
AND. I am feeling jealous. You have off today? Just not fair...! Waaaahhh.....:((

thanks fr making feel better. I had spent my NYE with my mom in front of the TV... and to add insult to injury, my mom said that make aloo parathas tonight. Before i could revolt, she said, "beta at least work on the last of the year". With no answer for this one. I meekly bowed my head and complied. :D
@Priyanka: Awwwww! Let's be shaking hands. But even then you at least had your mom with you, even if she asked you to make aloo paranthas (how were they by the way?). I soo missed being at home :-(
P.S.- And when am I being treated to aloo paranthas?
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
Not bad article, but I really miss that you didn't express your opinion, but ok you just have different approach
