New Year parties in Kolkata
Subhah Hone de sang Kolkata as it went all out to party on New Year’s Eve. TOI ’s roving eyes captured the spirit of the night
With barely a few seconds for the clock to strike midnight, DJ ANSHUL at UNDERGROUND, THE HHI, started the countdown. Every single person joined in. And then, it was time for New Year hugs and kisses for each other. Those wanting to connect with their near and dear ones before the lines got jammed, rushed outside, phone in hand, to make that New Year wish. What better way to welcome the event than by playing “Kolaveri Di”!
Soon after, the DJ went dhinchak with “Dekha jo tujhe yaar, dil mein baji guitar”! “I had to play “Chammak Challo”, “Subah hone na de”, “Kolaveri Di” and “Ooh la la”, at least thrice as the party people wanted to dance to these songs in particular. It’s good to see the Kolkata people rocking,” said Anshul. Everyone wanted to have a good time and despite the club being choc-a-bloc with hardly any space to shimmy and shake a leg, people never complained. The reason? Party abhi baki hain!
CHAMMAK CHALLO VS KOLAVERI DI
FROM WALES WITH LOVE
“In the UK, people prefer partying at their homes on New Year’s Eve,” said the beautiful DJ Misy from Wales, who played at Venom as part of her Ministry of Sound world tour. “The people of Kolkata seriously know how to party! I love the fact that they have a dance move ready for every beat. Tonight, I’ll mostly play commercial and progressive house,” she said as she took over the console a little after midnight.
ZERO HOUR
Close to midnight, there was a flurry of activity at the club as people got busy with their phones sending last moment texts and BBMs to their loved ones. As DJ Kunal started the countdown, a hush fell over the floor. At exactly midnight, the party people were seen wishing each other. Hugs and kisses galore, it was one happening night of ushering in 2012.
While most of the world decided to dance their way into the new year, there were a few who settled down for a cozy dinner at POOLSIDE, FORTUNE SELECT LOUDON. We spotted a gang of guys from IIM, Joka, having a good time. “We decided to spend New year’s Eve away from our academic routines. So we decided to chill out by the pool side,” said one. At ZODIAC, we spotted cozy couples, happy families and bunch of friends enjoying the lavish buffet spread and the select wine on offer.
