"Retro Night"

This was the theme of the insti party this saturday night. Not that themes count for much here, with most of the junta just sauntering in all sorts of clothes ranging from formals to nightdresses, and go straight to the makeshift bar in the badminton court and get their shots of vodka or whisky. Only some people follow the theme aka retro, blues, patriot etc.

I also hardly care for the theme, but this time the best part was the music. They played some all time favourites, ranging from "Summer of 69", "I ll be there for you", "rasputin", "we didn't start the fire", "la bamba", "stayin alive" and also Hindi stuff like "dum maaro dum". Thankfully we were spared of the remixes, punjabi overdose and rock, trance etc.

So today I managed to shake my leg more than usual, also no doubt they were well lubed with three pegs of vodka. Amazing how alcohol can loosen you up. I always remember PG W whenever I dance under the "influence", his descriptions are simply ludicrous.

Also while dancing reminisced about the old times, the Jam sessions we used to have in Engg college in Pune. The best one was the one we arranged for our class in Holiday Inn just before passing out. I still remember that the one song which had people rushing down to the dance floor was "Summer of 69" , this song surely has universal nostalgic appeal.
