8:10 pm, 31st Dec 2012,
Lets see, all my friends are either busy getting prettied up and /or sloshed, preparing for a night of revelry,,
All except one, whose mum had a surgery today and he's at home, with her, where he should be,,,:)
and me of course,
I am going to post this and get back to work,
Sitting at my computer, a play list of party tracks playing in the back-ground,,,,I cant help but reminisce, of years gone by,,,
when I was in school I had friends, let me get that straight, but still ended up spending every single NYE at home,,,,when you weigh a hundred kilos and then some more,,,party wear's a little tough to come by.....
I'd have an early dinner, (winters back home,,,COLD!!!), sit and watch what ever was being telecast that year and go off to bed,
This was repeated without fail year after year,, I would stay at home, go through my same old routine, with a few minor changes thrown in,,,and dream of losing weight and partying my heart out,,,
:)
Never happened,
Till 2006,,,,,,,
Finally MED school was over and I was had a job,, I weighed a mere 60 kilos,,and remember having a bon-fire, with a few friends,,,in the back-yard of the place I stayed in,,
The people who were with me that night are not with me any more,,,,one of them is still "friends" with me on FB,,the rest are lost to time,,
Then came 2008, the year I spent 31st Dec back at home, with mum and dad, after a long time, I still remember cooking peas-pulao, chicken and paneer,,,having dinner seated around a coal-fire,,,,going to bed happy,,
Then came Hyderabad,
For the last three years, on this night, I've been with friends, at some club or the other, dancing my heart out, till the wee hours,,
Tonight I work, while most of the people I know, do what I'd have done otherwise,,,,PARTY!!!!
All around me are bright lights, happy people, plans being made,,,,
All around me, new resolutions are being made, last years' discarded and forgotten,,
Alliances made and broken, hearts broken too,,,
Determined smiles plastered on faces, people are out to have fun, no one wants to spend this night bemoaning the losses of the year soon to be history, everyone's an optimist tonight,
Sadness will find a way of creeping back into our lives, let happiness reign at least for a single night,
I wish I was out there too,,,
Reality flushed out of my mind, one of huge crowd of people, making the most of this one date which will soon slip into yesterday,,,,,
Happy New Year to all my friends,,,old and new,,,,
:)
Love you all,,
