New Year Eve. I was in the driving seat as the parking space
was full, waiting for my hubby and Mom who had gone to procure some appetizing
foodstuffs from nearby community centre. I could find a small space just in front
of a liquor shop. The shop was extremely crowdy, probably only the black Friday
might beat it somehow. Was just observing the people outside the shop…

“Sir, aaj ek saal puri ho gayi daaru piye hue. Last year New Year eve me hi piya tha last. Thanks for this gift Sir!
You are great!!! U have a great time Sir!”
The guy was overwhelmed with delight while his Boss was gifting him a Bottle of joy. Brightness shined his face. Struggling in the long queue of billing for 45 mins, he came out of the shop with four bottles, and handed over to his Boss, who was waiting just outside the shop. Boss gifted him one keeping rest three in his car and went away wishing him a happy new year.

Once the boss’ car disappeared, the guy ordered Tandoori
Chicken in the next shop. Called up someone on phone, “Yaar, aaj Boss ne dil
khus karr dia…Main jitna haarami samajhta tha nehi hai yaar, ek bottle gift
kiya bhaai…. Chicken tandoori leke aa raha ahu…..Tu aaur tin char bottle jugar
karr le….mast jayega party. Uppar se last one week bhi dry tha pura.”

A lady was standing just near the entrance of the shop, waiting
for her husband/ friend, who was also probably all set to celebrate the New
Year eve.
Two alcohol-thirsty amateurs of around 20’s approached the
lady with extreme caution and requested her with tremendous politeness if she
can help them in buying few bottles from the shop. They put few compelling reasons
showing her the elongating queue for billing, and assuring that no need to
enter into the shop where there was no space for putting a foot even, but
instead, just stand in the lady’s billing counter.
The lady got terrified and refused to do the task. The guys
had to go away pronouncing few popular slangs.

My hubby and Mom were back and we headed towards a Hyper
Mart to buy some grocery. There is a liquor shop inside the mart too. My
inquisitive mind commanded to proceed that direction to see how crowded it was
on the New Year eve. I had a presumption that it will be less crowded as it
looked like a bit sophisticated. But……my Goshhhh!!! It was more crowded than
the other shop. Probably, those were the affluent proletarian winoes who were
planning to souse the New Year eve with ‘Som Ras’.
