Few months ago, during one of those 'lulls' in my life and against every fibre of my being , I joined a 'Ladies Coffee Club' ! Let me expand on that thought. My husband is a part of a Social/ do good'ers club (much like the Mason/Round Table/Lions/rotary etc...).
The member's ladies decided they should have yet another platform to get together and add "Value" to their lives. Hence, was born the "Shapely Coffee Club" ( names changed...I still want to belong to it! {*Frown..worry*} ;)
We meet once a month...have Coffee Do's with games thrown in ...tricks at the cocktail counter. Lunch's with Demo's of desserts....Holi party with team building games...enjoyable, interactive, fun. I must admit.
Till someone decides to change the course often trodden in fancy high heels and trendy gladiators and 'Be Difffernt'.
Here is the next invite ...."Look Goood, Feel Good" (pretty harmless? Yeah right...)
It comes with a Picture of "Jassi" ( of "Jassi Jaisey Koi Nahi" fame)
Before and After.
NOT Now, Not in my current state of state of mind....
Yea thats what I needed after a full days of work? An exchange of words ...with hubby ( he Cant fight !! ) In laws at home (3) , stream of guests for them......a 'nunga punga' (buck naked)kid running around ,hair let loose, refusing to eat and change into her night suit!
Plan each one of them a different dinner....No they are not fussy, just very simply traditional. Each one on a different 'Varth'...or...whatever ...you call eating fruits and rice....ghee....++++
Now my girl gang ( I had never believed in one.....still struggling with it ;) tell me they getting me a "Make over"! Yes, its confirmed,EVEN they do blv I need one!!
I Live on the 7th floor and I am 'Metabolically challenged". I quickly closed the french windows to curb the urge !!! Got into the shower, washed the thought off and hit the bed.
If only ..........I had stuck to my good ole buddies!! Had a beer .......discussed iPads.......music..web site .....sales strategies and bitched !! Come out after rubbing my eye balls...sleepy...fixed grin on my face....and a sigh..
I was in denial...I went out to prove them all wrong...I have more men friends then women. Yes, I do. But,let me now accept, I enjoy the company of my male buddies better.
This is good stuff! Enjoyed the read. Keep it flowin!

Interesting, I love how you write! I agree with you 100% Most Guy Friends are much more down to earth than some girl friends and they have such a different view of things.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stash! My 1st comment..I shall remember. Always:)
ReplyDeleteMerci Beaucoup Anon! Yeah get a good mix of both. Its lets you appreciate both.
ReplyDeleteGood read! Expressions came out honest even in retrospect. Here is my take on socialising and friendships. The universal fact is each person is a LONER even among family and friends. There comes a momentin time that he/she realises that it is a lone battle. The rest is a blessing of momentary transitions. Will leave you with a thought that I spell friends as Fried...Ends!
