During my childhood, New year celebrations was not much of an affair. We used to watch shows on TV and wish everyone next morning. Once we had get together (organized by my father's friends) with variety of food, games and it was fun.
When I left home for college, New Year was celebrated at hostel in usual way - decorations, cake cutting, dancing, etc
On this new year eve, I was at my in-law's place for the first time on 31st and celebration here was altogether different. It started with shopping for cake, colors, sweets. Around 10 pm, my sister -in - law started making rangoli in front of our home.
Our home was full with close relatives and hence it was all festive feeling. As the clock stuck 12, we wished each and every one present and cut the cake. My MIL had lit the Diya and performed Aarti. Everywhere outside it was light and sound from fire crackers. We then went to look at the rangoli made by others in our lane and didn't even realized that it is past 2 pm when we had hit the bed.
Morning was occupied with phone calls and msgs to all the near and dear ones.
How was your New Year celebration? Was it different from every year? Any resolutions?
