New Year’s Eve is best spent amidst familiar faces and warm love of old relations and that’s exactly how it unfolded at Black & White Packaged Drinking Water Presents The Telegraph CC&FC 31st Nite in association With David & Goliath on the last day of the year. Warm bonfires at regular intervals and Manasi Scott’s enthusiastic performance of familiar Bollywood tracks had everyone crowding the dance floor. Singing songs like Shape of You, Girls Like You, Galla goodiyan and 2, the artiste also happened to be celebrating her birthday with Calcutta this year!
Opening for her act was singer Prateek Bhaduri who had the audience jumping on the dance floor with his rendition of the Goanese favourite Galyan sakli sonachi and songs like Subah hone na de and Disco 82!

1Priyadarshini Bhattacharya is a club member who can’t think of spending her NYE anywhere else. Sporting a matte glitter dress with a woolen scarf, red lips and boots, she carried herself really well.

What could be a better day to take this gorgeous Ritu Kumar jacket out for a spin than NYE? Ask Sujata Dua who works in logistics and looked lovely in this red outfit. A member of the club for the last seven-eight years, she “often spent her NYE here”.

For Sharini Sharma, beige-on-beige was the call of the night as she teamed her slinky gown, “picked up from somewhere in Europe”, with a fur coat that was a gift from her sister. A chunky statement neckpiece and red lips completed her look perfectly.

Sip and bite: With a separate vegetarian section set up at the back, the food counters at CC&FC were abuzz with people lining up to buy a plate of Murgh Malai Tikka, the clear favourite of the night. Some other dishes that were flying off the racks were Cheezy Dragon Rolls, Chicken Yakitori, Dynamite Chilli Chicken, Panko Golden Fried Prawn and Double-fried Roast Pork. The yummy food was accompanied by premium drinks.
