So this is a continutation from my previous blog The Bangalore Santa.. In case you havent read that then this wont make much sense to you...
This was one New Year Party that bhabhi and myself have been planning since Oct... So you can just about imagine the anticipation...And Anu ( my sis in law) didnt help me at all by putting soo much pressure by practically bringing the topic up in every occassion we spoke which was everyday! LOL ( kidding)
It all began with zeroing on the place for the occasion which was finalised as Sainath tower.. The guest list is next which was supposed to be all the cousins and close friends had to go through infinite confirmations before finally reaching 17.
So we contimue the planning with food.. Wow that is one topic that was decided and revised and decided and revised and there on... *whew*.
So all set with the party invites getting confirmed and the menu closed on..we begin the party !
SInce this was a party where mom and dad were the Chief guests mine and Anu's drinking was practically a crime.. What do we do then ??? There comes bhabhi to our rescue... So the drinks chosen by us are WINE and BREEZER which are rechristened as Grape and Orange Juice repectively. i still cant forget the expression on Anu's face when she was told to pretend that this was orange juice... It took bhabhi and myself at least half n hour to convince her... wow !
Now back to the party which had music and drinks flowing all night.. With no agenda in mind for the party we begin with blaring music where me. Viju and Anu take turns in palying DJ... Anu and this supposedly DJ way to increase and decrease the volume of the songs to give effect ! ( mind you this is the orange juice speaking ) .
Where there is a party and dance there needs to be KT with his unique style of dancing. this was by far the first party where i have seen the guys steal the show ! Bro, Manoj, Unni, KT, Viju, Beebs and Sandesh were actually at their best ! (fotos clicked by the grape juice are proof to that :)).
Round 2 is dumb charades where we are split in 2 teams and my dear husband becomes the first bakra to come and enact, who better than me to give him the movie name "Ghaagre mein Dhaam Dhoom". I should have actually clicked a photo of the expression on his face when he heard the movie name. Wow ! Then came other interesting options like Howrah bridge mein latakti laash and My Boss Bajrangbali ( cheaters you only said no dubbed movies ).
As the clock ticks 12, we start wishing each other and getting busy on our cellphones... I even heard Manju wishing someone Happy Bday ! So after the celebratory break we get back to the routine of dancing the night away...
As the night wore away, i realised the showstoppers for the night were Bro and KT. Wow... it was one roller coaster night... Bhaiya realised that he couldnt find a better occassion to pull Bhabhi's leg so he also made the most of it ! ( wonder what is his condition now... ha ha ha).
Couple of tracks change and then comes the anthem for the night.. Gangnam style... This is when i see the normally quiet and reticent Deeba suddenly get up and do a jig with KT... That was a KODAK moment i tell u...
No party in our family is actually complete without mom shaking her booty to the songs... dhinka chika dhinka chika... She is quite an inspiration i tell u !
The icing on the cake was when bro actually was the krishna and we radha's danced around him.... that was all the motivation that we needed to the apt song... Radha likes to party !
As we reach towards the end of the party (4 am....yawn) we reach the last leg of singing... Some amazing songs from Sandesh where he mixed the lyrics and tune of 2 songs.. and sang it flawlessly... this is after all the drinks mind you !
I really wished that night went a little more longer... though it was much better than what was initially envisioned...
As my post headline mentions... this was one night to remember !! i know i will always cherish them...
i sign off with a cheers to having many more such parties in the days to come !
