events?

There's something to be said for social events. Really there is. Weddings, and the all the events that are the run-up to the wedding for sindhi weddings, ie the engagement, mehndi, sangeeth,ghari, then finally wedding and reception, plus chattis for newborns and birthday parties, not to mention the Holi gathering thing, and the Diwali mela. Simply because at these social events, you are made to talk with people you're not very close to, and update your life info, but at the same time, ensuring that all the info are kept in short snippets becayse noone wants to be caught talking to someone going on and on about their life. BELIEVE ME.

Which is why i don't quite dread these events, because its always quite interesting to see everyone socialising, either with people they already know but like meet occasionally, or sometimes for me and my cousins and sis, socialising with new people and making new friends. Personally, I'm not very good at making new friends at these things. Partly because I'm damn self-conscious about what I'm wearing and how fat I look, and partly, because to ME, they look a little intimidating. Of course its just me being shy i guess but yeah. So these things are like experiments, for myself and just ot observe generally. Plus, you get to see what everybody else is wearing! And if at some point, I reeeeeeaaaaalllllyyy don't feel like socialising and saying hi to everyone I'm supposed to say hi to, I can just sit and talk generally with my cousins. I mean, one can always fall back observing everyone else at the parties right? and making comments?

I just wanted to note the above thoughts down. sorry for the abrupt ending. got distractged.

ciao!
