So, everyone in the blogosphere has been writing about the new year... So adding one more to the lot... What the heck, it s just another day, just another warm winter (er... that s how Chennai is anyway ;-) ). Yet, there is a special charm about it, the cops allow an extended deadline upto 1 am, and people drink and drive (not that they dont on other days, but this day just makes them do it!!).
31st Dec, for most people, seems like an appraisal date - that s the only time they revisit their KRAs, er... new year resolutions, which are, most often than not, forgotten the minute they are made. That s one reason why I dont want to make any, so I dont have to forget anything... Well.. WTF, no resolutions, that s all!!
So, one year goes by and another steps in... as silently as it can, without any hungama - largely due to the recession and the recent terrorist attacks. Having spent 31-12-2007 in Goa, this year was a welcome change - to be spending the evening, quietly at a friend's place. Karthik and Suchi were excellent hosts, but, the best host(ess) of the evening, was their 3 month old cutie pie pug - Kabaleeswari, who held all the attention. It was a beautiful evening, over some wine & dinner topped off with some orange, grape and mango kuchi ice from Saravana (and discussing about Sivitha ice creams near the RK Salai Nilgiris, and Amirtha kuchi ice)
It was a lazy evening and probably the only evening of the year when I go to sleep in the current year and wake up in the next....
Cheers!!
