New Year bash? Not this year Shalinee Chowdhury Thursday, December 29, 2005 22:02 IST Mumbai's swish set seems to be besieged by party fatigue, opt for sun, sand and solitude It's New Year's Eve tomorrow and you'd think everyone's in a frenzy figuring out what to wear and where to go. But surprisingly, the city's party animals are giving partying a miss and opting to spend time either at work or at private dos with family and close friends. "We have invitations for everything," says Arti Surendranath, ad film producer, "but ideally I would like to spend New Year's with family and a few friends." Wanting to bring in the New Year with her children, Surendranath hopes she will be at a friend's house with her family. "But you never know, Kailash may surprise us by taking us all off to Goa for a family holiday," she adds. Similarly, television anchor Simone Singh too is off for a holiday with her family. "We are taking time out to go to our country house in the hills," she says. "We want to relax in the Himalayas amidst a pine forest." While Singh opts for the heavenly hills, others like choreographer Marc Robinson head for Goa, his family hot-spot. "I'm in Goa with family, taking a break, but for New Year's Eve I will be hosting a party at a club lounge called Havana," he says. Perennial party animal Kishen Mulchandani feels, "Mumbai is not at all happening this year. Most of the biggies in the party circuit are not having any parties as most of them are away. New Year's Eve is over-hyped; it's the same tracks, the same DJs and the same people. I don't really have any plans except for dropping by at my friend Viren Shah's do." Singer Sharon Prabhakar in fact will be working on New Year's Eve. "I'm flying off for a two-day trip to Dubai. I'm part of a show there," she explains. "When I'm back, I have loads of work as I'm working on the release of my new album." And if you're wondering what they'll all be wearing on this 'special' evening, no one seems to have an outfit planned. "I'll try and put something together on that day," sums up Surendranath.
