Food, drinks and friends...what more do you need to make a party worth attending? And last night there was plenty of everything. The place was great ("he" and I would like to take credit for that!!!). The people were awesome. So finally some doubts that I had can be laid to rest. I missed "the beard" though. I wish he was there with us. I'll see him in less than 2 weeks now and I can't wait.
Ok, I'm going off on a tangent now. Back on track. The way I am, I would have mulled over the party for the next few days and then ended up writing about it once it had lost it's charm. But thanks to a new friend, I decided to do it now itself. In hindsight, it's not such a bad idea after all.
I think I'll start with the complaining bit first, so feel free to skip this paragraph. The music was bad, and was extremely loud. The music system was screwed up. The lights were turned off in between and I have no idea why that was done. Astonishingly, it was done just as everyone decided to grab a plate for dinner. Hmmmm...that makes me wonder about what was actually served. Alright, I realized I went too far. The food was good. But the one thing I really didn't enjoy was the "Intro" Session. Prior to that everyone was mingling and talking to each other. As soon as the microphone was brought in, the energy level in the room dipped to a low. It wasn't as much fun thereafter. Hard luck...but who am I to complain...I get to spend the next 2 years with these people and thankfully I'll get to know them without them dancing to "maar daala". By the way, I enjoyed the rendition!!!
I heaved a sigh of relief as I sauntered around the room last night. I hate the fact that I have to go through the process of making friends again. Don't misinterpret this. I enjoy meeting new people and making friends. So you can imagine how relieved I was to see normal people at the party. I ended up talking to quite a few, and I had a nice time. I'm not all negative anymore. Most of them seemed down-to-earth, which is great. Looking foward to the Rems now!!!
