happy new year


the party was at avon- a repeat of last years venue. this time more people and strange juxtapositions therefore. there were the parents- mukuls and mine, then there was mukuls cousin rajul and his wife, mukul, me, sonal, saurabh, ranjit, chitra, george, surabhi and sanaa; ajay and sharda; madhu, paro; shekhar and his friend skyler ( who unsuccessfully kept trying to change the bollywood fixation of the music) ; ateya, ninad, kaushik and mohua; aparna (hopefully who did not feel too out of place), john, mary and joanna (it was great to have them there); shilpa gupta (looking lovely); sunita maushi and her three friends (who came in post new years and left in an hour); girish and jabeen, dipti (who came in for a few minuted before heading out for her own party) and chaitanya (whom no one had seen for years and looked completely shell shocked). the songs of the night were ‘aaj ki raat’ and its cool disco groove- very smooth and ‘beedi’ with its blistering bawdiness. as usual we over-ordered the food and there is loads of alcohol left over. mukuls dad made reportedly exquisite mutton (it was over before i began to take dinner)

we woke in between piles of glasses and leftover remains on abandoned plates everywhere and sat talking until lunch time in the window over the city before deciding to clean it all up.

a happy new year to everyone! hope you guys had a great time.
