For the first time in all years , I was at Elliots on 31st evening ! At first sight it semed to be a very Low - key celebrations . It was 6 in the evening , and you could literally count the number of heads in the surroundings . " Never was the beach stretch so isolated " i felt . I was proved wrong . In not more than half an hour's time , one could see bikers 'Vroooom' in . The parking lots filled up . The regulars to the beach had made it too . And all of a sudden , Elliots showed off its pride :) Along with few of my "jigiri thosths" , I started to Lap around the beach road . It was nothing "outta the world" actually , 'cos its really very common at bessie . But the very fact that it was hours before new year , made it so very special .
Happy families , relaxed thathas , excited children and charged up youths . . . you could see people of almost all the generations out there . Its a very nice feeling to see people with broad smiles wishing and greeting you . Ad
miring all this , I forgot to check the time ! It was 8.30 exact and i was late to get back home . My " jigiris" wanted me to stay back for some more laps , but mom had told me " No bessie business after 9 " . And she is quite " strictu . . strictu . . strictu . . " ( hope you heard the echos clear ) , when it comes to me hanging out in the evenings . Half - hartedly . . I said a NO to their offer and bid them Good Night .I walked back half the way and took home a bus then . By that time it was almost " house - full "
I could see many familiar faces but I was eyeing to get back home B4 my mom decides to screw me up . " Hmmm . . all set for '09 " i thought to myself and started pushing ahead as i crossed the Cops who were there to enforce security measures . At around 9.30 i was home and my mom was all happy that I dint stay back till midnight , that she forgot I was late .
