One Night at the Taj Blue Diamond

I sometimes like going to pubs n discs here in Pune...You get quite a nice crowd n the music is generally good...Last Saturday night, I'd been to Taj Blue Diamond's disc, Polaris...What a letdown it was!!! First of all, the crowd...I felt the majority of it was 28 plus and a crowd like that sucks when you want to have fun n let your hair down...Not that people over 28 years don't know how to have fun, it's just that with a crowd nearer your own age group it's way more exciting!!! Then there was the dance floor itself...I think it's the tiniest one I've ever seen so far...When we first entered the disc (at 10.30 or so I may add), it looked more like a lounge than anythin else...Plus the dance floor was absolutely empty!!! So, we sat down for sometime grumbling, complaining about the place and giving gaalis to the person who suggested it in the first place...BTW we still don't know who was the wise guy who wanted to come here!!! So anyway, the mavericks that we all are, we said what the hell??!! An empty dance floor shouldn't stop us from not enjoying ourselves right? So we got on the dance floor n started grooving away!!! The music was pathetic in the beginning and everybody else absolutely refused to come on to the dance floor...Ours was the only group who was there n we were enjoying ourselves thoroughly...Slowly, as the music started getting better, the dance floor started filling up...The DJ started playing hip-hop numbers in between and the floor could still accomodate everybody without anyone having to jostle for space...Then he started off with the Hindi movie songs and just about everyone there wanted to dance!!! It was as it is pretty hot n stuffy there n with the addition of more people and the dancing, everybody started sweating like anything!!! Soon there was no space to even move a hand or a leg forget shaking them!!! So, all of us were just jumping on the spot or moving our hands vertically...We must've danced for 2 hours atleast n the music was at last stopped at 1 in the morning...After a photo session in which all of us look tired, hot n sweaty, we decided to go home...N since the next day was a Sunday, most of us took that full day to recover before Monday morning took us back to work n back to our routine...
