Disco Debacle !!!

My brother, who laughed his a**(forgive my French) off on this story, asked me to blog it quite sometime back. But dint find the time to do it. So here it is now bro...

Ok ! I give up ! I concede to the fact that I have never been to a disco before. Oh yes ! I am 24 and in a time where night life is thriving, here is a strange being who's never been to one. Or this is how I was treated, whenever I told people that I have never been to one. I had this strong resolve to go to a disco, one to shut the wagging tongues out for good and two, coz I really do enjoy dancing !

So, the plan formed on this wonderfully late Sunday evening, when a colleague of mine, asked to take me and another girl friend out for dinner, coz it was her Marriage anniversary. This colleague of mine was a Disco virgin too, and we in our unending quest to go to one..finally chose dinner over it and after a lot of speculation and phone calls and enquiries, decided to go to Le Flame in Le Meridien (one of the top notch hotels in Chennai, Tamilnadu). And oh ! the efforts we put into finding out if this were the right place. We wanted our first experience to be good !

So, I went back home, all jittery and excited to get all dressed for my Ultimate Disco experience. I dressed in the most classy top I could lay my hands on (all my mom didn't do was catcall ! Whew!) , my mom wishing me luck as if I was going to the Boston Tea Party !

So finally, all of us got together at the girl's place(the one who was taking us out..listen to the story..come on !) . Counting heads, it was the girl, her husband, our mutual girl friend and yours truly ! Four of us ! All whoopy and excited about the disco (thankfully, the other girlfriend was mellow..coz she wasnt a rookie..) ..

Driving twoz on our mo-bikes, we made it to the discotheque', my adrenaline at its peak as we entered. I was pleasantly surprised to find out that women had free entry to any disco anywhere, which seemed like a pretty cool rule to me ! So happily, joking and tripping each other...we went down to the dance floor !

Opening the door, bracing ourselves for the jam inside, we walked in and our smiles froze !

The floor was completely empty but for the four of us and the bartender to the side !

I turned and looked daggers at the husband and muttered, "You did this on purpose, didn't you ?" He swore on his life and love that he did not. What we did not know, was it being a Sunday, was not a great day for people to get sloshed and get high on dancing. Bad timing ! Dejected and all let out of air, we finally got our great disco experience, just the four of us....having sandwiches on the bar... dancing alone like idiots ....

Jeez ! for all the planning in the world !!!
