After we left Betu at his cousins place for his first sleepover we didn't know what to do with this 'alone' time in our hands. After calling up a few times to see how he is doing, we knew that he will be just fine. So after a lot of dallying we decided to hit a disc nearby in case we need to go back to pick him up in case he realises he can't stay without us. But nothing of that sort happened :)
So off we went to the 'Capitol' in "The Ashok" and had a wonderful time. The moment we reached there I thought we really shouldn't have come. I felt so out of the crowd. All these girls were dressed in such sexy outfits and here I was in my chappals and Capri. I didn't even have a lipstick in my bag to apply on my lips so that at least I have something on in the name of makeup. I was kind of shocked to see what revealing clothes these girls wear these days. I may sound like an old aunt but its true. Almost all of them were wearing really really mini shoulder less dresses. Being thin or fat didn't really matter to them. And out of 50 maybe just one would be wearing a jeans. but again with 'leaving-nothing-to-imagination" kind of tops.
Anyhow, after feeling awkward and a total misfit for a while, I just ignored that I was not aptly dressed for being in there. We both had a martini each before hitting the dance floor. Danced a little but when the people on the floor decided to increase so much that we were barely even moving our feet we decided to sit and ordered for long island iced tea. The music was good but I didn't like when the DJ continually played some Hindi numbers including the 'sapera' music.
Finally we decided to get out of the disc around 1:30 AM and just sat in the lounge and chit chatted. It really felt wonderful having so much free time on our hands just for us.
