Foggy New Years Eve?

Tradionally, New Year's eve, is a time when the good guys head to the church and the bad guys head to the happening pub.
The Good guys go out with their spouse and be merry while the bad guys, go out, with any one but their spouse.
Me? I took the middle path, I headed straight out of the maddening city to a cosy adobe, a top a hill. Yeah! a cosy adobe, yeah!!! a atop a hill. Bang on the Khopoli -Pali highway, is Dr.'s Cottage. Complete with lush green lawns, a beautiful bulevard, a to be mango farm and the quenessential swimming pool. And how can I forget, lots and lots of clean air.
Our food (mostly veg) was typical Maharashtrian food minus the spices. There was a nip in the air and after a while it all dawned onto me...... My friends were not so enthusiastic about the long winding roads or the simple country side they wanted their dose of khamba (local name for alcohol).
So there we had it, as the lovely ladies sang and jived to Lionel Richie and Sophie Hawkins the men danced with the walls (these men I tell you such spoil sports). Pop, went the champagne at the strike of twelve as the bar tender sprayed it on the guests, my eyes were qued onto one single, simple lady. Just wanted to go up to her and tell her "you look wonderful tonight" but, tell you I just couldnt gather the courage.
Chatted briefly, with a North Indian keen to make a carrerr in Bombay (come on don't assume he wanted to make it in Bollywood) the revelieries went on into the night and got to hear about a powerful Shiv Sena leader.
Can you imagine getting up at 6:15 on the first day of the year?? well yours truly did. It was a beautiful morning complete with a generous dose of morning dew and the urge to get my hands on a freshly brewed coffee. The best way to nurse a hangover I tell you. I overheard some one say "ayye ghar mein bhi shadeswala" As the gang got up and got going, I felt that the party continued, some of them in the pool while some on the makeshift badminton court.
Couldn't have asked for more, a perfect way to start the new year, topped it all with a devil cares attitude downed two deep fried vada pau's on the way back. Talk about a foggy new years eve!!!
