"Guys..... You have off for tomorrow..... So Go and celebrate.... Happy New Year........" My trainer announced... and followed was cheers from my team mates..... All are happy... Even me too... I just need a reason for celebrate... more over Its New Year... So a big reason.....
But when i was swiping my access card on the way out of production lab, i was bit worried.... "God.... i dont have any plans for celebration..." For last few days after Christmas, i was getting calls from my friends to know about plans for New Year... But i was telling " Nah.... No plans... I will be working....." But who knows that this guys will announce an off day.... Any way its not their fault...
I was sure all my friends who are free for new year will have plans fixed.
It was true... just mins after my Cab left Technopark campus, i got call from my friends from Cochin... that they reached Pala, to meet our another friend to celebrate new year together..... they already started celebration... Once i am back in my place, i dialed my best friends number, even though i know being in hospitality industry he will be working..... Yes he answered and told he is working.... and promised me he will meet me on 1st jan evening...
A bunch of phone calls after that... and i realised.. I am going to spend this New Year Eve... Alone.......
"What the F**K?.... Its New Year Eve dude.., You could have planned some thing..... atleast you could come down here and be with us" My friend suggested.... "nah its too late to come down there to Cochin..... u carry on dude..."and that was my response
But the idea stucked on me... " Why cant i Go down there?" or atleast why cant i join with my friends at Pala...? or Do i have to stay back in trivandrum wandering in Beaches???...
Its already past 7... So i simply dropped all these plans... New year or Christmas or Onam... what ever it is... Trivandrum City will sleep before 9pm!... How sad.....
I am going to sit alone here at New Year eve..... I walked down home after Dinner from my usual restaurant....
I tried to log in to internet....
But no one is online.... "Oh come on.... who is going to sit down with computer and waste time by chatting.... other than u??", i feel my laptop is asking me that question...
But what to do? I dont have any option....
"Loose Control..... One more time..... Loose Loose Loose...." I was awoke from my thoughts By the music from Rang de Basanti...... I feel that some one is teasing me.... Nah... Its my phone..... And its my Dad.... Wishing me Happy New Year... Hmmm thanks.... moment i kept down phone... it started to ring again..... Now its my friend.... he also sitting alone.... with no plans.... Ohh... Atleast some one is there like me... hi hi hi...
Now we started to chit chat.... i think i have to run down to stock my recharge cards to keep my calls alive for the night...
Atlast i am not alone this new year eve..... I have some one to chit chat..... hoooooo
And yes...
Thanks for cell phones technology...
And atlast the time came.........
12:00 am....
Its New Year.....
Some where i am hearing crackers sound.... I wondered..... " they are celebrating some thing in Trivandrum ! ..... Its a wonder...."
brati
I heard a call waiting tone in my phone... i excused my new year companion on phone and attended the call in waiting... " Happy New Year my dear...." I heard an yell from other side with the back ground sounds of new year celebrations... it was just a begining.... i am getting calls now... back to back....
I realised...
Even though i am away from my friends.... kilometers away.. they are keeping me with them in their happiness.. and i am enjoying with them... sitting at my home in my bed, with laptop in my lap and phone in my ears... having fun....
Its New Year..... and this night remind me always that.... LoVe AcTuAlLy Is AlL aRoUnD.......
HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS..... ENJOY....
[Note: Make sure next year that u have plans for new year, even though ur Boss didnt confirm your holiday for New Year....]
