New beginnings

I am happy to say that my hangover this year was quite harmless compared to last year’s. I take it this is a sign of me being more suave in handling my drink. I do suffer from patches of amnesia only to have the puzzled look on my face being replaced by one of horror as people recounted all the things that I did/say later on. I shrugged it off saying - I dont live on yesterday while my motto is next week. A very nice Alanis Morissette song, I must say.

I remember a lot of dancing. Of course the music was so loud that I could hardly hear the other person on the phone when I called friends up to wish them at midnight. Naturally, my phone balance had dwindled down to a measly 10 rupees by the next morning. Moral of the story - ditch your phone somewhere next time you’re planning to intoxicate yourself and wont be able to make out whether you’ve been talking for 5 minutes or the last one hour.

I also remember lighting firecrackers sometime around midnight. No idea as to where they came from. Some of us had to get new hair styles the next day because of the bonfire singeing the hairline. Thankfully no one caught on fire. If anyone had, the rescuer would also have been burnt to death although the alcohol would have made sure no one felt the pain too much.

New beginning for a new year. Of course, I wont be recounting all kinds of sordid drunken details henceforth. But it was a nice way to say goodbye to a good year. Now its time to grow up.

    had a pretty bad hangover from the party. too much liquor on an empty stomach and lots of dancing will discombobulate you, churn your insides and compel you to expel the contents. And make you feel fall asleep.

    Yeah, I think I am now qualified to write a book on the different types of hangovers :)

    Singed by fire indeed. It was hilarious discovering it the next day especially when those very people dont remember going near the fire in the first place!
