On a high..

Going out for booze parties was routinized when friends (not me...) started working and there was money that could be spent without asking anyone..... Often we would catch up with each other over the weekend with a beer or anything not that expensive! We landed up exploring some cool places which were not so crowded and loud, had a nice ambience and obviously had happy hours. Gradually we became smart enough to land up dot at the happy hours to sit at our favourite table from where we could see who was entering the place and could make fun and laugh at silly things. When the waiter would come for the last round of order during happy hours, we would look at each other and land up ordering more in the greed to get more and pay less. Only two of us, P and me are i would say good drinkers and the third one (D) would just have one tequila shot enough to make her head spinning. However we made it a point to take her along as she would drive us back home safely;official driver you see. It was actually like burning a whole in the pocket but we would make the most of it as it was also the time to know what's going on in each other's life and help out each other....

But my point was when i am spending so much i should feel that high for a longer time and not just few minutes! I wanted to do some stupid things and not remember thereafter. I tried mixing many things, drinking slowly etc etc as adviced (u knw free ki advice tht u get ) but nothing really helped. I was disappointed and kind of not satisfied..

Some months down the line i went to this place in GK with my boy, it was one of those dates when the relationship is quite new at the budding stage. We were in the process of knowing each other so not that comfortable. I took him to the place ( he was cuming to del so i was supposed to decide, god it was funny ... i was so confused!!) . To begin with we just ordered some fish starters and a cocktail. Margarita and adiaquiri just to st the mood or maybe to see each other's capacity. I instantly thought "why is he ordering this, its so light.. cocktails nahhh". Anyways i did'nt say anything and was telling myself 'wait for the second round'. I was just sipping the drink very slowly and we were talking some general stuff. (howz the weather, that friend, delhi traffic and the likes...). It was quite long that we were sitting there so we decided to move out and go to some other place. So it was time to get up, i could feel something was not fine. I tried to not to tell him 'gosh.. i was on a high just after a drink that too cocktail what's wrong with me...'. I delayed the things for some time but then he could sense it. He asked me but without delaying a second i denied. He asked the waiter to get some lemon juice and asked me to have it. Atleast my head was not still spinning any more. w came down the stairs.. I still remember that was the high i had longed for so long .... So i would say its not the alcohol, but the person you are with, your state of mind that takes you on a real time high.. Alcohol is just an artificial catalyst.. Go for real things in life

Believe me!!
