Xcity (NO THIS IS NOT AN EX BOYFRIEND RANT)

Consistency has always been something I suck at,and this blog seems to be dangerously perching on the edge of my usual excited One Week Frenzied Project Territory.Also I'm very forthcoming about the fact that I AM A BEGGAR FOR PRAISE and since I like to think that stringing sentences together is one of the few things I'm decent at,I'm rather disappointed that nobody eaves comments!Even mean ones would be more welcome...I mean whoever said "Hate and love are the same things just on different ends of the spectrum" obviously nailed it right!
Anyhoo, today I took a rain chutti, and boy does it feel good to just sit at home and have nothing to do,instead of stoning at office pretending to look all busy.
For the past few days, I've been having these unsettling dreams about L,and then I wake up,tell myself it's okay and go back to sleep.It's so so odd!I wish he would stop haunting me in my sleep.One of the main reasons I resent L so is because of the fact that I dont like Xcity anymore. My love affair with Xcity began in my second year of college.Good friends,endless rounds of parties and a happening social life in general added the much-needed zing to otherwise blah conservative city.And then L enters my life towards the middle of second year, and now in retrospect that was pretty much when things started going downhill for me. I'm also super pissed that I'm not going to Xcity for graduation,primarily because the parents don't want me to, and most importantly it's because I feel it would be like opening a can of worms again...TOTALLY unecessary....especially since I'm at a decent-ish place now. Since I don't have anything more meaningful to blog about I'm going to jot down a few reasons about why I used to love Xcity(this is ofcourse, before breakup with L):
1)Xcity is where I really grew into my own person.From being one of the geeky girls in high school who dreamed about having a happening life,I actually became that girl.Needless to say lots of boys involved.And then I met L.But thats not such a happy story, so let's not go there.
2)I love how everybody knows everybody in Xcity(everybody worth their salt that is dah-ling..sorry to sound like a snot).One of the favourite games my friends and I used to lvoe playing was making little mental flow charts of mutual people we knew and how a was connected to b who was connected to c and how although a and b were an item a was totally fucking around with c.In Xcity anybody's business becomes everybody's business, and I'm pretty proud of the fact that I NEVER GOT BUSTED for my many flings when i was dating L..yes i know..I AM A BITCH WHO WHINES ABOUT L WHEN ALL THE WHILE I MADE OUT WITH LOTS OF BOYS BEHIND HIS BACK,BITE ME OKAY! CUZ REALLY NOBODY SHOULD POINT FINGERS WITHOUT KNOWING THE WHOLE STORY-READ L'S PSYCHOTIC POSSESSIVE ABUSIVE NATURE.There that should shut you up a little.
3)College in Xcity was more like a three year endless party, as father once wryly declared.I mean its a miracle that i got through college with decent-ish grades.
4)Sentimental Addas-HAHA I cannot believe I used the word adda, its such a Hindi slang-ish word that i picked up in my short stint in Ycity..Anyway, I had a fun circle of gal pals and we had these shady little joints that every collegian has.So a particular Coffee Day was our after college smoking adda.The kind of place where your on first name terms with the waiters and you're also familiar with the three other "gangs" that chill there with you everyday..Looking back I feel like an old lady and chuckle when I think about how we could sit aimlessly(and am sure still can) for five hours at a stretch everyday.Anyway, so once the no-smoking rule was implemented we shifted to the steps of this shady complex next door to our college,where we used to sit on the steps and smoke.The profound philosophical conversations we've had there ranging from feminisim to Freud never fails to amuse me.A chaat joint a stone's throw away from college was another favourite haunt and the best part about our poor college students day was how we could get by with a hundred rupees and eat some of the yummiest food for a week.
5)Ladies Nights-There were two very very popular watering holes in Xcity that were an especial favourite with the fairer sex.At the first more posh one you got two cocktails free,which isnt that exciting considering that they really water down their drinks'.Hey but beggars cant be choosers no and so many of my guy friends have whinged endlessly about how unfair it is, because we would walk in with not a penny in our pockets and be treated like little goddesses.Ooh and they also had posh finger foods.Crackers and exotic dips anyone? Second place was super popular with the college-going crowd and Ladies Hold your Breath...you could have AS MANY drinks as you wanted till 10oçlock.It was quite amusing actually because at 9;55you'd see all the ladies in the house frantically chugging their vodka sprites and guzzling down as many free refills as they could possibly hold at the bar till the clock chimed 10.
6)Okay at the cost of sounding vain.......in Xcity I always had an incessant supply of men.Its true and I thoroughly enjoyed and revelled in all the attention.So i had boyfriend L who was totally into me(nd guys, everybody I know will tell you this.The boy was madly in love with me, maybe thats why now it comes as a slap on my face that he seemed to be able to move on just fine) AND other boys.*sigh*
