Party Last Nite........

It was about a month into my new organization and the first party to attend. Initially I didn’t have any idea as to why this party was organized and who would host the party.The party began on a leisurely note, where all invitees were strolling (ala Ranatunga running between the wickets) into the hall.

The starters and drinks (nothing special) were served and the two hosts distributed some kind of chit to everybody in the party hall and then announced that everyone with the chit has to find their respective partners. The next thing you see is everyone running around in search of their partners.

Our hosts planned a few games for us and set the ball rolling and the game of passing the passer started. It was quite evident from the proceedings that the hosts had targeted a few chosen ones from the crowd. The “Who-Am-I” section was pretty dubious (to me at least).People who watched it could judge it themselves. There was this incident where the participant had to identify the personality of the most wanted terrorist in the universe and guess what he found the personality in his third question.If you are interested in the sequence of questions he asked, the here it is….”Is he a man”….we say yes….he asks “Is he a bomb-attacker (literally)”…we had to say yes (no options provided) and then comes his answer…”Osama Bin Laden”. So you be the best judge and decide wasn’t this fixed???

The organizers did a good job by making all of us dance to their tunes. People who wouldn’t have shook their hips on the dance floor and never would have imagined that they could dance, did a pretty excellent job. Though it was funny we all enjoyed it.One of the participants stole the show and he did a really fantastic job. His maneuvers were simply fabulous and he certainly rocked and guess damaged the stage by his jumps. I too was made to dance by my friend as he had to choose a partner to accompany him on the dance floor, and we together did a bit of “Kajrare”. I guess it was fun time for all of us which made us forget all of our tensions in life as well as at work.

Once we all danced to the tunes of the hosts, we had a plan for the hosts in store and asked them to dance of “Kajrare”, which they sportingly obliged.

Regarding the food, the starters weren’t served properly (was given in some kind off tissue paper, which I thought should be used only for wiping and cleaning purpose).The food was good. Being in Calcutta (the home of sea food), I though we could get fish items in surplus but the fish delicacies were finished in a jiffy and was not even served after the initial quantity was finished (ask my friend who waited for it for quite some time for his refill .The desserts were good and we enjoyed it to the fullest.

By the way i had Krishna in my chit and was able to find my Radha....:)
