DECEMBER 28: Why, you ask? Such an impertinent question. It8217;s simple and very elementary my dear whats-in-a-name8230; I have to spend money.

My accursed birthday was on November 26th. And I have a best friend who happens to have very expensive tastes and prefers it if I pay, even if she is the one to be treating me to lunch.

Next comes my girlfriend whose birthday is on December 13. Then there8217;s Christmas and finally the New Year. Four events. I have work for a long hard month here at CY just to get a lousy pay-cheque.

I take money from my Dad. Yes, I am 19 and I realize all of you probably think I8217;m a loser becoz I borrow the money. But that8217;s my personal life which just happens to be none of your damn business.

A budget of only 300 bucks for the New Millennium. Just three notes of 100 rupee denomination to drink, smoke, travel, party and not to mention I have to go to my girl8217;s house at midnight so that she can think I love her.

Plus my best friend who8217;ll probably demand that I join her at the USClub which invariably means wearing formal clothes and being very polished, using etiquette to impress nubile nymphets. I don8217;t think so. It may prove that I8217;m no longer a boy but a bonafide certified and legal man. However, it8217;s better being a wild boy in the woods than Tarzan in the City, posing as a mortal.

Since men and boys alike have very way-laid plans, I may decide to ring in the New Year by no celebration at all, travelling all through the night everywhere in Mumbai city, eyeing everyone suspiciously, telling them that I am the brethren of Satan and I have come to kick some millennium butt. That sounds like a plan.
