Happy new year

One and a half hours to go for new years....what am i doing? I'm blogging.
partly because recession has really hit me hard, and partly because his highness cancelled new years party in Dubai (solidarity for war struck Palestine)

This is what makes me wonder, is new years eve really such a big celebration or is it just a hype for marketing purpose, what if i don't do anything for new years today?

Will I be branded as Hermit, (or Kermit whichever of the two is the non social guy) What if i don't party tonight? what if i don't drink till i drop?

Why is it such a big deal? its new years i know! i am sitting in front of my lap top blogging!!!

But i don't feel like I'm missing on anything. (I probably have escaped molestations like the gateway and the JW Marriott episode, having said that i am quite happy camper)

How many of us have actually felt let down on new years eve?
we probably feel let down because we expect too much from that night...why? what will happen when the clock strikes 12.00. i have partied on new years but i never felt any MAGIC of changing dates.

So I'm really glad to spend the new years with my family(we are reunited after 8 months)
and rather looking forward to 00 hours, i don't expect any magic, but i would like to experience a silent new year celebration... why not...

So happy new year!!! hope to have a better 2009, a recession free new year, and some peace.
BTW I'm also having a booze free night ( wonder what the morning after feels like...)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
