ME AND MY PEPPY FRIENDS

I have been in Mumbai for quite sometime now, like two and a half years, but frankly I have not witnessed much of the famous nightlife of this city, which literally never sleeps. Plans and plans and more plans, but execution very remote. Most of our parties are house gatherings, which off-course I simply adore, after all what can be better than sitting in the coziest corner in the world, called home and sharing a drink, and many heart-felt feelings with people you bang on. Yet at times, madness, glitter, lights and that perfect high of euphoria, beckons mysteriously and alluringly. And the chance to dress up and confidently rock the dance floor!

A few days back, some of my closest friends in Mumbai, a gang of lady chemical engineers had planned to spend an ecstatic evening together. Me and my friends Krishna, Priti and Prabhjot, had ultimately narrowed down to “The Irish House” Kala Ghoda, for that most awaited evening, ladies night out.

It was a freaky Friday, we winded our work quick and called for the day, to reach Prabhjot and Krishna’s apartment, they are roomies. We basically wanted to give ourselves time, to shed off the tiredness and look just the way we wanted to. But as you know, when four pretty ladies decide to dress up and spend an evening of euphoria, choosing the dress, shoes, accessories and the make up takes time, much more than we could actually think of. And we are proudly no exceptions either ;-).

The first phase was wearing the piece we wanted to and getting opinions of how it looked on us, then it was time to do the make up. Our dear friend Priti had brought with her, an attractive spread of great make up items, we were her first attempt of trying her hand on them. Well, we were the lucky guinea pigs. And actually we turned to be lucky, because she really did work well with our faces. I too extended my expert hand for eye make-up

;-), and then the magic wand turned, and there we stood happy to pose for selfies.

Planned at 8:30 pm, we left at 9:30 pm, expectantly! We reached the venue at around 10:15 pm, it is worth mentioning, we were lucky to get quite empty roads. 

The Irish House, was a good choice, thanks to Prabhjot. The ambience and specially the music was awesome. They played all the famous, English numbers which compels you to hit the floor and feel the enjoyable fang of palpable euphoria. And so we did, dance and dance and dance, till you break the floor, was our aim. And fortunately though we did not quite break the floor, but broke one goblet for sure.

The food and beverages unfortunately were not that great, magarita, mojito, Irish coffee, along with chicken popcorns, drunken prawns and nachos all tasted just kind of OK, nothing remember-worthy. However this was just for the restaurateurs to improve upon, it hardly mattered to us.

Overall it was a night of complete fun, and pure enjoyment. Unaware of who watched us, we girls had an awesome night of dance, rejoice and free-spiritedness. Looking forward to more of its kind. And this experience was most definitely a peppy one for me  and so I call it “me and my peppy friends”.
