So much for the new year!

How did you people celebrate the 31st? My friends and I were out driving to town with no plans whatsoever! We reached Nariman Point and witnessed a display of fireworks. There was this Parsi couple out there, quite old, but enjoying themselves! With every rocket that went up in the sky, they were excitedly clapping. Parsi aunty was shouting away, "Aai jo, aai jo...pelu to ekdum dil par aave chhe! "She even asked this guy who was standing at the Marine Drive pavement to bend down as she could not see one rocket properly! Such innocent pleasure she was having! There were kids, rowdies, office going people, lovers, youngsters, hawkers, you name it! I have never seen Bombay like this. Wherever we went, the place was bustling withaction; from scantily clad girls to guys dressed in the 70's style; guys supporting girls who were completely sozzled and about to fall...I saw them all and was amazed as to how our culture has changed so drastically!
