The thick blanket of clouds covering the sky was forcing me to stay a bit more near the fire place of my room. But today was new years eve and I have promised my friend nalini for celebrating this new year in best cafe of the town.I was very lazy to go outside in this cold weather for celebrating the new year.Every year I used to celebrate the new year at home.But this year I have invited her .I was lost in these thoughts when the phone rang .And oh! It was nalini's call .She had reached the spot and eagerly waiting for me. I ran from my room and called shyam bhaiya,my driver. He was already waiting for me ready to go. I sat in car and feeling so excited to meet my abroad best friend nalini . We are childhood friends but she is settled in London .It has been 4 years since we have met. I reached she was so happy to see me after so many years.We sat at the corner table and started gossiping with hot cappuccino.while enjoying my eye balls moved and ran outside the mirror windows I saw a little boy sleeping on roadside covered his body with old ,dusty and torn blanket. Where the whole town was enjoying the new years eve. It seems like there was no new year for this little fellow.

He was just cursing his destiny and fighting the curse of poverty. While all this thoughts running in my mind .Nalini called me where are you lost your coffee is cold now.
