January one seems to come by faster every single year. We decided to be mellow this year – necessity, exhaustion and desire. New Year’s Eve is one of those holidays/events that is always a let down. Every single time I’ve planned it, it’s been a huge bust. So, we didn’t plan anything.
We had a very nice time at a small party in our building which R and I attended sequentially so that one of us could be with the sleeping kids. And then it was the big moment – I could hear the city all around me go crazy. And well after I was in bed, music was pounding from all sides of the building. New York definitely knows how to party.
A mellow evening was followed by a mellow start to the year – we sorted through thousands of books to figure out which ones are going to new homes. But more on that in another post…
Happy New Year Shri!

I’m thrilled with my loot. Thank you! I also discovered after coming back home that the service of sending books by sea mail via USPS to India (the book bag thing) doesn’t exist now. :/
And yes, i think small intimate gatherings, not overly planned, are the way to go for NYE celebrations.

Glad you like them – hope they weren’t too heavy to lug home…
Ah, too bad about the book mailing. Well, I am shipping two boxes this week, so will figure out the best way and let you know. Happy reading 🙂
