Look. I love my friends. I just don't like dholkis. I don't see a POINT to sitting in a circle, clapping your hands like crazy, one girl hitting the drum like crazy, warbling at the top of your voices about some yellow suit which arrived from goodness knows where along with green green bangles !!
There is just no POINT in a dholki....
I am a hopeless spoil-sport. I try to make SENSE out of everything. Friends tell me , "kuch cheezain AEWEEN hoti hain" ... (There are some things in the world, that are there just for the heck of it)
And I just can't digest that!! I try, seriously I do. I paste a big smile on my face, like I will do about 1 hour from now, clap my hands politely, sit daintily, grin encouragingly at all the human beings who think its an amazing exercise to dance to an idiotic song, and generally look as I'm having a fab time.
When all I am thinking of is ... maybe my next blog post :P
Life is crazy. What with the hunt for a good UK university (I am so LOST in all they have to offer, I wish there were less variety), and now this dholki I have to go to.
I tried getting out of it. Asked my friend veeerrryyy hopefully, whether I could bunk it. I told her I am no good addition to an event like a dholki. But she wouldn't hear it. We're not best friends for nothing right.. so I HAVE to go.
Thank the Lord she doesn't blog :D..Even if she does, er, I'm still going to this event right? SO she still means a lot to me... (take that!)
Khair, I have to run.. *huge sigh* It's going to be ONE ...LONG evening.
*walks off mournfully*

awwwww cute i like them!! coz i love dressing up! and seeing other ppl dressed up nicely :P the songs are generally very sad.. atleast i find them sad!
Yeah everybody does .. :S I mean...that's normal. I wish I could find the fun factor in that. Maybe (dunno for sure) its because I don't know any songs. Except one or two, so I usually feel left out.
Laikin ... I mean, yeah okay , people look good and everything, but how long are you supposed to LOOK... I get bored after 5 mins
Guess I have to live with that, and bunk as many dholkis/mehendis as possible *deep sigh*
Sad songs??? I REALLY don't think so ...!!
I mean, one song went like this :
Dhum Dhum Dhol bajayyyy, Dhol bajayyy, Dhol bajayyy DHOL....yeh DUM DUM baajay DHOLLLLLLL
Another went like : Mehendi laga kay rakhna , dholi saja kay rakhna... something on those lines...
Er, NOT sad :S
Dholkies creep me out too... but there is new trend emerging. I attended this one dholki 3 years back, and it was nothing short of disco party! :D
Er yeah that's one other point. Disco parties creep me out too...
And dholkis have now taken a rather nasty turn...
Thanks for reading though :)
