A Belated New Year Wish

Well, the new year has passed by quietly, what with the tragedy of the tsunami. Most of the people I know didn't have a 'great' new year this time. The mood wasn't too upbeat. Here's how mine passed
Well, I was in Mumbai on 31st. I took a train home to Vapi, reached at around 6. I had told my friends to call me up that night so we could hang out or do something that night. Well, what happened was that my parents went to a function, and so did my brother. My friend did call, and I told him that I'll be right over. I absentmindedly took the vehicle keys and shut the door. As I put the key into the lock, I realized that I had picked up the wrong key!! It was for another vehicle which wasn't there. Also I didn't have my house keys! So there I was, stuck outside my home, waiting for someone in my family to show up. I sat in the garden and swatted mosquitoes which were feasting on me. My parents came after a long time, and by that time all my mood of going to meet my friends was ruined. For me the new year just passed silently, just as any other night. At least the next day I got my mp3 player to work. That was the only consolation. Hope everyone else had a better new year. Till next time...
