A new Lease of Life

Dear Diary

Its again that time of the year when people prepare to party, when they reflect the year that has been, they sign the best and worst, study movements... Its the favourite time of the year for every eloquent writer. Check any blog, any newspaper, magazine, news channel, radio channel everyone worth their steam or not, they visit the morgue and come out with analysis and dissection of the year that has been... Its also that season when you have a reason to cuddle up to that special person, or cuddle up with a steaming hot chocolate, with a nice book in hand below the covers... Or a long windy drive, catch a strawberry milkshake or that orange kulfi... Its also the year when a part of the wardrobe gets a new lease of life...Its that time of the year when there are no more fights for regulating the A.C temperature with that ever-nagging-forever dissatisfied-stubborn-roommate... Its the time of the year when you are actually overjoyed about a walk in the evening for it feels great to have that cold gush of wind caressing your face, like cooling down all the tumulus thoughts that have been plaguing u. To make you feel that someone somewhere is always with you, you don't walk alone. When you snuggle up further in those jackets of yours, it shows the importance of warmth. The need for having someone close delves deeper than never before...Its the season for sin, seduction, and romance...when passions rule supreme to make that mercury, if not of the thermometer, of the air sizzle and become electric... Its the time when love blooms, alliances are made... The temperament of people are so relaxed and cool, that hardly, hardly any breakups or trouble in paradise are noted in this season...

Its that time of they year when every one is making merry and is high on excitement or sloshed... sloshed with alcahol, or sloshed with the natural intoxication of great food, free spirit and the cool winds of romance...Wherever you go, which ever mood you are in, you will see everybody relaxed, no sarcastic armours, no guards, no reserves...all this courtesy a little drink, a little drama, and a lot of pleasure...

Its also the time of the year when you enjoy FOOD!!!! Those hot grilling paneer tikka's, the various bar-be-q kebabs, the deliciously thick dal, the amazing assortment of vegetables that tantalise your senses as much as they please your taste buds, the plethora of drinks finding another excuse to be enjoyed, Rum Cakes, Chocolate in zillion forms, Strawberry dipped chocolate, Strawberry Shakes, Pies, Bakes,Gajar ka Halwa, Matar ki Kachori, the Ghevars ....what not!!!...Amazingly everyone knows when to have Scotch, Cognac, Vodka, Wine, Whiskey, Beer...Nobody mixes their drinks this time around...

But what actually traps all these flavours are , very obviously, the new years eve, and the new years day itself... A time of revelry, a time of merry making, a time of living for the day, not dwell in the bygones, look forward for that rising sun, bringing up new surging desires, hopes, wants for a better footing and fewer regrets, apprehension of the possibility of loosing what you already have... Rejuvenating after one very tiresome year, to gear and recharge for the coming year. To smell the scent of ecstasy, to smell the blooming blossoms of flowers, the kaleidescope of colours rioting your senses...

Its the time of the year where being single is still not a crime, even though I call it the time for romance... The feeling of freedom, of being at ease, of enjoying the revelry with no-strings-attached, of being you for you, of spending time as you please, of living life king size at half the cost .... Ok! ok! the cost issue was a ncie dig on the expenses a guy foots for the 'maintenance' of his girl... But seriously am happy being single...

This year I enjoyed my time to the fullest, up for grabs is next year!!

Wishing You a Very Very satisfying year Ahead, maybe next time I'll come up with a boring obituary of the past year...
