My New Years

Today is the last day of 2009 and I've been thinking of how I spent most of my New Year evenings.

In the 1990's second half, TV had become the most important part of our daily lives. The new years evenings were spent by watching the performances of stars together with my family. I loved doing it at that time. Don't know how come I don't enjoy such things now. (This was in school till 10th)

Then after S.S.C, I started going around with my newly formed friends and in eleventh and twelfth I went out for dinner parties as a part of new year celebration. One of the most interesting new years was that spent at my home, wherein everyone had gathered on the terrace of my new house. Had a great time making Bhel and stuff on the terrace.

Then after joining my graduate college at Mumbai, I started spending the evening out near the seas. I spent 3 of the new years at either the Marine Drive or Bandra sea face. On one ocassion I spent my new years evening at my relative's place (when everyone from the batch had been to Gorai beach. Don't remember why i hadn't gone with everyone).

Finally when I was at Vashi, I spent the new years with my room mates. We had been to hotels and the streets of Vashi to celebrate the night.

Now am at Pune and am again going to spent the night peacefully at my home (hopefully if I reach home at the right time) else will be in the bus at 0000 hrs of 2010. Lets hope that the bus service doesn't let me down and I reach home before 0000 hrs to celebrate my new years with my family members.
