Party time!!!

Parties. the "life" for some youth, the bane for some "elders". I have attended quite a few parties and most of them have a lot in common. Only a few parties really stand out! Let me tell you what I did this Friday night. This was not one of the usual 9-12 parties!

The club and the dance floor was a overused SETC bus. There are posters of parties which claim that they will take you places, this one was taking me from Ooty to Coimbotore for sure! The crowd was cosmopolitan, but also had a weird mix of grandmothers, tiny tots and grey headed grand-dad hipsters. As the party started, the music from the speakers (which seemed right out of 80's rock show) began to engulf the bus. Foot-thumping Tamil numbers set the right tempo to the party.

The crowed swayed its hips to the music spun by our DJ (they had no option as Physics forced them to). The way he spun his wheel, everyone swayed in unison, almost in sync with the beat. Unlike Tiesto's all white apparel (Wikipedia, if you were not born between 1980-2000), our DJ was in all brown. He changed gears like discs, spinning the wheel constantly!

This party, unlike any other had its usual elements. The "bores" who felt the party wasn't good and the usual bunch who come with a lot of baggage (pun intended). The party had a lot of dangerous curves which made it really exciting. Other clubs (read: vehicles) passed us by like faces which pass by on the dance floor.

The crowd was intoxicated with the beauty outside, the full moon acting like a disco ball, making the forest below shine! The party which started off cold in ooty, was pretty hot as it neared Coimbotore. As people got off the club, there was that familiar look on faces of everyone, the look which showed desperation to get back home and crash (party jargon intended).

I being a club hopper, continued my party scene. The welcome that I got in the next club was almost homely. The girls voice was very familiar. By the time I tried to figure out who that was, she screamed in my ear " Welcome to Indian Railways, Train number 61234.... "
