Semi-Formal
Tonight was the SI Semi-formal. Yes, the event, I never was particularly excited about. I mean, freshman year, I didn't go. Sophomore year, Harita paid for my ticket so I had to go. (I paid her back eventually). Junior year, I was on board and Sav and Gati forced boardied to go. Senior year comes, I think, I might as well go. I would see people that I hardly see, and just to continue with the story.
I dressed up in the blue salwar kameez that I got for Eid. I like that outfit as it is comfortable, yet fashionable. Almost like a modern day Cinderella, lol.
Anyway, the semi-formal was held in the Hilton Garden Inn. It's actually a fairly nice place; it's brand new, right in the middle of the commons. We took a charters CUtransit bus there. I was in the first batch of people and there were like 10 people on the bus. But, the second round came by and brought many more people too. A bunch of people apparently drove, took taxis, and got rides to the Inn as well, so we got a good turn out. I am glad as I was worried about it, especially since Mani was working so hard to get people to come.
So, we took photos, people drank pretty looking drinks, apple juice, coca cola, and smuggled-in Bar-ens. It was fun sitting at the Senior Table. Though at one point, I felt so old. There were all these new people. I mean, I've seen them around and probably knew them by name, in fact because I have a thing with names, but it was surreal.
Buffet dinner was good. I had palik paneer, one of my most favorite dishes. Oh, and the kheer!
Then, the dancing began. There was some issue getting it started. I guess people weren't drunk enough to begin right away and felt shy or something, but V-Factor got the ball rolling by getting his groove on (I have video, pretty funny). Then, the seniors came in. Eventually everyone joined in.
The music selections were good and very diverse from the typical hip-hop party songs to bhangra to "Living on a Prayer" to "Like a Prayer" to "Chaiyyaa Chaiyaa" from Dil Se to "Mambo No. 5" to "It's Electric!" to "Mahi Ve" and "It's Time to Disco" from Kal Ho Na Ho. Oh, thank goodness for Bollywood. Those were some of the most popular songs.
Then the bus came backaround midnight and whisked us away back to C-town. The ball was over, and my shoes were still on my feet, so it's all good.
