A night 'in'...

Regardless of what people say or claim to believe, Nights 'in' are more fun than nights 'out'...
Here are a few reasons why...(i'd like to look back and know them anyway)
But hang on, i should really describe the people involved first...just cuz' i feel like it..

S.Ch-the personification of the pretty young thing...fun...carefree and kinda adorable
Probably cute enough, and young enough, to encourage maternal (i know i know) feelings towards the kid...

Ak-smart funny...laughs at bout everything and can unconsciously lead you to believe (with disasterous results) that you are, in fact, the funniest person in the room...everyone likes such a person

Vi-awww..inverse twin and charismatic leader...wild, unpredicatable yet very much so...love exists beyond reason and logic...also my glitter green queen...

and ofcourse ...yours truly... with a dose of personal righteousness...(mummas girl at times but maybe cuz theres a lack of dissenting opinions b/w them)

Now heres why nights 'in' are fun...

a)No need to spend about half your time together trying to look your best/ thinnest/ hottest *insert suitable fashionable word*

b)Your allowed to want to, and eventually indulge in, long (lonnnnggg) conversations with better halves or worse halves or just some part of you..(this time can also be constructively managed by the other (un?)lucky one, who hasnt handed over a part of herself to someone else, to surf the net or come up with plans to invade the universe with red pooh stickers)

c)Food is never a problem thanks to concerned parents who supply rations for the ravenous barbarians...think chips, diet pepsi, sprite, mirinda, coke (we have distinct tastes), pasta etc.

d)Spontaneous dinner plans are also fab with a friends car being violated and a sudden rush to the bathroom pre them.

e)A feeling of satisfaction also invades the 'wild' girls as the world judges them as they prance around the (extremely) unsafe streets of Delhi at around 11 pm. Nothing like doing something stupid to feel a (false and momentary) sense of liberation.

f)Speeches made on Feminism also have more impact when your dancing around with a gang who is as rebellious without a cause as you are. (Esp speeches declared in extremely loud voices thanks to those gruelling hours of voice modulation and strength exercises for Street Plays)

g)Stopping at a paan wala shop becomes an adventure. As does annoying other well behaved diners with loud raucous laughter.

h)Settling down into comfy borrowed pjs only adds to the feeling of confort as did the lack of high heels pre donning them.

i)There exists no forced need to indulge in gyrating to tracks that one doesnt totally feel like moving ones body to.

j)Conversation impulses are indulged in to the maximum and feeling flow out like water outta some huge ..well..container ...(think a billion miles long or something...my lack of articulation scares me sometimes)

k)You can pair up pink striped pjs with a blue flowers shirt and still feel like a rockstar.

l)Arguments reach new heights of intensity when great minds disagree on topics such as Marriage, Team Work, Brand of Chips, Family Problems...you get the picture.

m)Often, if luck favours you, you may witness how A person provokes B into a heavy conversation and rolls off to sleep while C and D sit through it blinking sleepily.

n)Funny words get mixed up as sleep tries taking over and elaborately fantastical plans are agreed upon at 3 am....say getting up at 7 and driving to Noida to catch a movie.

o)The best part would be seeing 7 am whizzing past 4 sleepy girls as they grumble about the intricacies of time and how very fast it whooshes or whizzes by ...(the two words also being an area of disagreement)

p)Waking up to remembering the pasta left in the car, unopened packets of maggie, half-finished bottles of harmful soft drinks and warm sandwiches is ...interesting..

Pushin your friends out at 12.30 (cuz u gotta be else where) is also ...interesting...so much for mehmaan bhagwaan ke samaan..(ponders on the origin of proverb)...At the end of the day...(or the beginning) theres so much still to be dissected that while wavin mates away...plans for the next night 'in' have already been planned...How much more fantastic can life get exactly?

Ps-to sum it up..
Having, at 8 pm witness Vi defining your Loreal Deep Exfoliating gel wash, after use, as refreshing- probably 1/50th of a dollar
at 8.20 pm witness S.Ch call it 'okay', again after use- 1/10th of a dollar (inflation)
at 10.30 pm paying for dessert by virtue of being the host- about 200 bucks (rupees please)
and at 12-watching A don your fav pink pjs and look better in them than you-Priceless(for her ofcourse!)
:D

MasterCard commercials will never get old for me...
