My new year experience

It was the end of 2009 atlast! i was alone on the eve of new year with my computer, browsing and playing games. i really got pissed of with the way life is at this new year. my friends whom i usually hangout with are either busy or not available. i was planning to booze with my friend long before but that plan didnt succeed. later in the evening i was having my dinner. my grandma used to fight with me for watching serials in tv. i hate these melodramatic serials. its such a crap thing to watch. i got irritated by her.

after finishing my dinner i came to browse internet in my computer again but i was irritated to see my father occupying system now saying he has to use it. i really got pissed off. i picked my bike key, helmet and cash and started off to go out. first i went to petrol bunk, filled my tank and started to go along the arcot road. while driving i thought " it would be good to see marina beach this new year". so i drove my bike towards the beach. when i reached therei was shocked to see hundreds of police men, in front of the beach and ordering civilians not to park their vehicles.

i drove few meters along the beach towards the south side to find a parking space. i successfully found one. when i got down i received a call from an online friend. he is an ardent music lover as me who comes from bangalore. he said he is in chennai and to my shock he is also at marina beach. i was very excited and thrilled to meet him there. i asked where he is and i started walking towards him.

marina beach in chennai is the worlds second longest beach after miami in usa. i parked my bike at the southern end of the beach and started walking towards the north. he said he is near nethaji statue. i asked an auto driver the netaji statue he said it is around 5 kms. i thought the auto driver was just telling inorder to make me his passenger. i started walking walking walking to find the nethaji statue. this place is vicious like a mini desert and with insufficient lights i was afraid how am i gonna find him.

now i got a call from home. my parents are furious with me for my act. my dad spoke very roughly and demanded me to come back. i denied him and said i will be in beach till midnight. he started to shout at me without logic. i cut the call in anger. next my mom called me and cried to come back. i m firm at my decision to stay in beach till midnight.

the auto driver was right about the distance and i was wrong with my judgement. after around 40 minutes i found the netaji statue and i m surprised to see my friend not being angry with me for being late. i was very happy to meet him and exchanged greetings. he is a follower of maestro illayaraja like me. our previous meeting lasted around 3 hours in bangalore street chating about raaja sir music. now coming back to this we enjoyed this new year with hell a lot of crowd in beach. all of a sudden the beach was too crowded.

we started walking towards my bike but this time it was a pleasure chating with him which didnt made me tired. alas we reached our bike but i was shocked to see my bike concealed with two cycles and a car. with help of few people i was able to take off my bike and drove along the beach. we thought of going inside the beach with my bike but police didnt allow. a traffic police came near me and thought of grabbing my keys. thank god my reflex was good that i got it first. or else he would have extracted money from me. i drove in the beach road trying to find a parking place near gandhi statue where there are lots of crowd.

i searched for a parking space but i could nt find it. i went to and fro in the same road and atlast i stopped my bike near the commisioner's office opp to gandhi statue. now the clock ticked toward 00:00 hrs. i saw crazy bike riders doing all kinds of stunts. i saw a girl shouting happy new year from her car. she was screaming in joy. with the arrival of new year, i heard a hell a lot of noise and the atmosphere was electric. they burst crackers and danced in the road. till now i havent enjoyed my life like this. after the celebrations, i dropped my friend to his hotel and i started to my house.

on the way back i was stopped by an unknown person. i was afraid whether its gonna be a problem. he asked me " enna boss ethuvum sollama poringa?" then i smiled at him and with great sense of joyed i extended my hand and said " happy new year machi" alas inspite of all the scoldings i got from my parents and i really enjoyed this new year. thanks to my friend who accompanied me and to all the people of chennai who made my new year worst to best....
