There was no excitement or any different feel as 31st December 2007 night crawled. For some reason, probably work overload i returned late from office and i t was 1st January 2008. As expected nothing was different so slept till 11 am. Actually was planning to spend the whole day in bed only but a like minded soul calls up , Kauti daaru ho jaye. Trust me getting liquor on first January is almost impossible from the shops. Most of the stuff is sold off by 31st. Anyways call for daaru is something like you call for veteran soldiers in wartime. Myself and my friend managed to obtain a quarter of signature and one old monk (yukkk). We got some regular snacks and started and trust me signature was over in no time and old monk was goin on and on and on because it was just not getting in. Well we gave up and started paying with rum and fire and badly messed up the floor. Evening was on Kotivakkam Beach bitching 2007 and hoping for a great 2008. So thats how new year was celebrated. Seemed like there cant be a worse way to celebrate new year.
I started writing this before 1st January
Amazingly we think nothing can go bad than the present and then realise what happened was nothing the real s**t is yet to come. 31st December 2008, i had loads of work and stayed late in office. Sometime around 10pm i realised , new year should be celebrated moreover felt let me take a break. Called up a friend and asked him to buy a Teachers lavender full. By 12 midnight i was sloshed , got back to senses at 7am again sloshed and again got up at 12 and sloshed. Evening not even a single drop of alcohol was left neither a drop of water. Went out to find all the grocery shops closed and the ones open didn't have bisleri. Trust me , there is nothing worse than like u have a major hangover, puked and not a single drop of water for and hour. By that time i reached a big mall called Lifestyle. I was getting sick and sicker. I felt , a huge mall will definately have one of the most basic necessities of life called water and to my surprise it wasn't. While i am writing this i feel so pissed of. Where are we going. I check my wallet, 2 credit cards and two debit onces meaning a combined value of quite a lot and i don't have water to drink. WTF.
I was about to explode in frustration and anguish to the receptionist right then a security guard come near me and asks " Sir aapki tabiyat thik hai .. koi madad karoon" ( Sir you don't seem to be well. Should i help) . I could hardly utter " Water" not because of my physical state but out of frustration. The guy just got me a glass of water which was probably for his personal use. I gulped a couple of Glasses thanked him, took an auto and came back to room. This was how my new year started.
Its 11th January today and i realise that only good change which happened fron last year is , I moved form Signature and Old Monk to Teachers.
