Weirdo.
What kind of a title is this?
OK let me explain what that "X" in the title is and then you'll understand what i want to write and why a smiley at the end of the title.
The "X" is the number of people that i see in a bar in the city of London on a Monday evening and the comma separates the start of the next day.
It still fascinates me how the number of people in a bar explodes as the week goes by. By Friday evening as can been seen from the title, it is the melting pot of just people.
A bar hosts people from all walks of life right from the most affluent to the modest, you can see a man drinking a Budvar or the most expensive malted whisky. No religion, no creed, caste or sex . There is no discrimination.
To say you the truth, i have now become party to this Friday mela. I have been going to a bar every Friday for the last few weeks.
What i typically find is that its a great place to gossip and unwind. One can see that people start slow and end on a high, not to forget that people start early and stay as late as possible.
If one can keep ears open, its easy to find out what is happening in the city, in my view its also a newsroom but miles away from the flashy studios but serves its purpose.
The ambiance of a bar is key to its success, its that one which brings in an eclectic mix of emotions to all those who are around.
The ambiance is the oxygen of a bar , the blood are the drinks.
The ambiance and the buzz makes it a magical place and with a chilled drink in hand , what better place on earth to live on a Friday night.
Not to miss out those chicks who add to the irresistible charm of the place.
The biggest plus in a bar is that every one's truth comes out , couple of drinks down and all of them speak straight from the heart. That's one of the most interesting part that i can think of going to a bar.
Its a great place to relax , if one can manage oneself within limits, a visit to a bar isn't that unreasonable nor a taboo.
It can be one of the happiest place for a reunion or even to talk serious business or while away time or just to be mischievous.
Time just flies sitting in a bar. Simply a great place but with a different setting.
Hang-on if you have by now thought when did this guy start drinking , you are grossly mistaken. Who in the world said that one need to only drink alcohol in a bar, a creamy thick latte is still possible.
I have been going to the bar just to be a part of this culture and true to the word drinking is a part of living here. I can be the only person to have been to a bar to drink a hot latte and that too seven consecutive weeks in a row.
Am sure that made you smile.
It did. It is amazing; the kind of things that loneliness makes you do.
ReplyDeleteHence, my advice is, beware! You will fall into the 'drinking culture' trap sooner rather than later. I once had.
The other interesting word in this post was of course 'chicks'. Now am sure a lot of your friends would definitely have something to say about that, if not the drinking! :-))
Take care.
Cheers!
