An evening to remember!!

It’s been an evening worth remembering, to say the least!!

It started out with me first having a question, to which I always knew the answer was yes, but the question was there. Am I going?? After deciding that I wasn’t really going to “dress up” to the evening, I’d rather be comfortable, I decided to go. A place just some ten minutes away from where I live, called Westind country Club. The place has a history. I somehow never enjoy my parties there, except one. I think the place is sad, but whatever the place may be, it was my farewell party that my juniors were hosting for my batch and me, and I had to be there. No ill health, nothing whatsoever could stop me. And true to myself, my attitude and my style, I went to the party, with one thing in mind, “Aaj rapat jaayein to hamein na uthaiyo!!!” Precisely that was the mood, but I never needed that kind of drinking to get me high. It was a day of being high on emotions, being high on thoughts, being high on what I’ve done for the last two years. Unusual of me, I hardly danced, or drank. I just loved being there, present, and party to it.

Again, it is all about what ran through my mind, while I spent some two hours there, meeting a host of people. I had spoken at least once before to all the people I spoke to tonight. But let me be candid in accepting that I was surprised, or maybe even shocked. I did not know, before tonight, that I had secret admirers ( I am not offering any explanation on that), or that people who are obvious about it, are actually thinking about things. I never even gave such stuff thought. After surprising myself well enough, I am happy that I spent an evening in which I did not divulge any significant info about me, acquired a lot of information about people, and maybe I should say was introduced to a completely new set of people as well.

This day, which ended with some nonsense singing at TAPMI greens, some candid conversations, lots of hugs, and feeling happy about a day I was sure I was going to be sad about, is certainly a day to remember. My farewell party night at TAPMI, it rocked!!
