Das plays a dull, fed up with life, 30-year-old employee who is feeling extremely low and lonely despite the celebrations around him. Thakur is the new girl in office who brings joy to his otherwise mundane existence and lights up his life. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s Christmas time and everyone seems to be in celebration mode.
But it&rsquo;s also the time when people miss family, friends and home. To anyone who is feeling low, we want to say that you are not alone. In Jangle Bells, we have tried to show how it only takes a minute to notice the small joys in life and this is our way of spreading Christmas cheer,&rdquo; shares Thakur.
According to Das, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s easy to forget how to live life and enjoy yourself. People tend to get stuck in a rut. I hope Jangle Bells will remind people that life is beautiful!&rdquo; Catch it on YouTube.

On NYE, sip vapour and get high No, we&rsquo;re not talking about inhaling regular steam. On December 31, instead of downing pints, head to Khar&rsquo;s Hoppipola and ask for a vapshot, instead. You can pick from Jager shot, Dark Rum shot, Jager Bomb shot or even Dark Rum Kamikaze.
Quite popular in the West, a vapshot, served from a special machine, is vapourised alcohol which can be offered in different flavours of shots or a mixed drink. All you have to do is sip the vapour using a straw and you&rsquo;re sure to get an instant kick. Don&rsquo;t believe us? Check out a few YouTube videos, just like we did.
