New Year 2009

1st Jan 2009, new year day, & again a fresh mood set in for start of a new period & phase in life.
The celebrations were low, the people couldnt forget the trauma the terrorist attack had rocked mumbai recently. Mumbai stepped in quietly into 2009 without much hullabaloo.
All parties were indoors & many just chose to walk outside without much hype of enthusiasm.
Bandstand was a busy but a serene place at 12 midnight of 31st Dec-08. We were there for 20 mins to have some satisfying moment of new year celebration. Then Kamlesh finally gave up the the thrill, given he was having a sore throat & in we came at home at 00.30 early morning. That was the new celebration in 2009. Of course we had a good dinner at linking road. The KFC & McD had good stuff for us.
The morning saw a peaceful attitude in mind when the eyes opened up. It was again a serene environment & was I felt so blissful. At that moment the cellphone buzzed & when I picked up there were 9 uread SMS. All from friends & colleagues wishing new year from deep heart. I responded too with better wishes I could convey. Quite it was as though but this being a new year holiday, I could hardly let this vacation get wasted. 2 movies, a visit to a distant relative, & finally this blog, I thought this could be a fair enough day as the first day of the year. Well of course again like in Diwali few months back, this new year again had seen the best of only me. I devoted much of the day to myself & came out with a bright attitude to boost the significance to my lonliness. Well, this has been the way for me in most of such occasions. Happy New Year day today, Mr Bhola Prasad. Wish you a great time ahead. Yes go on.

Cheers
Bhola
