New Year Celebration

Finally,I have thought about what I will blog today.My new year's eve night.Let me describe the evening/night for you.The talk about the new year celebrations started a week early and we decided that we would welcome 2007 in a good resort where we get good food & drinks & music and some eye-candy as well.One thing to be noted that we were all singles and so we can't just get into any of the clubs/resorts as single guys entry is not allowed at most of the places.We zeroed in on two places.One with entry fee of Rs.1700 and another with entry fee of 400 bucks.In such a scenario, we could not resist the temptation to go for the 400 bucks option.I must say that the publicity was also good since they were offering a massive dance floor,welcome drinks,great music,surprise gifts(whatever that meant!!),unlimited food,etc,etc.My thought was that even though it may not be as good as the 1700 option, it was worth trying it out.

So,the four of us got dressed up to the nines and started for this place.All of us(not including me,of course!!) had planned to get drunk so, we decided to hire a cab to this place as we did not fancy paying the Bangalore police any bribes.When we reached there, we were greeted by a huge throng of people standing outside the gates of this resort as if they were freshers out of college waiting outside the company gates hunting for jobs.Believe me, I have seen quite a few such crowds during "my" time.Apparently, the resort guys were verifying the tickets before allowing people in.Such a thing can't last forever and the crowd barged in through the gates in hordes.We were forced in through the crowd just like passengers getting pushed in a Mumbai local train in rush hour.That was just the starting point.

The so-called welcome drinks had exhausted.Not exactly a warm welcome,one should say!!There was some loud music playing and there was also a DJ(can u belive that !!) with the whole lot of singles dancing to the tunes of the DJ.We got a few drinks and settled down in our chairs.There was a lot of unhappiness within the crowd because the drinks were getting over, the food was not being refilled.The host of the show said this sentence,"Ladies & Gentlemen, the food will be refilled in a short-while.We want to entertain you.So, please help us entertain you".I wondered whether he asked the crowd to entertain him or was he asking us to co-operate.But, I guess the crowd thought the other way.So, they decided to entertain him and the organisers.The drink stalls were raided and drinks were flowing & pouring all over the place.One guy who was a party in raiding the drinks stall was boasting to his friends, "Maga(Buddy), I got a Bacardi & a Cobra.Let's celebrate".We were getting drenched with the drinks of others and then we started to hear the clatter of glass.The bottles were getting broken now.

We decided that enough was enough and headed to the exit.On the way, we could see people raiding the kitchen looking for left-overs of the Fried Rice or whatever it was.And comically, there were people still coming in through the gates.One guy asked me the reason people were heading out and what the issue was.I just adivced him not to venture inside for his own safety.While waiting for our cab-wala, we saw some really nice looking females with their body-guards(oops,boy friends) smiling and laughing and what not, going inside.We watched them come back out in few moments, the smiles from their faces wiped out.With rats running around in our stomachs, we stopped in the nearest restaurant and satisfied our taste buds before we went home.I was particular about reaching home before 12:00AM 'cos I did not want to start the new year on a "BAD" note.We reached home just in time for the countdown.HAPPY NEW YEAR 2007.We had our customary toast for the new year and waited for SLEEP to come by watching some movie(I think!).It did come.At around half-past one.Phew !!Now that was some New Year celebration,is'nt it ?
