Another Saturday night and yet again another PARTY! Yes I was excited like ever that day as well. No, it wasn’t the usual club night, but the excitement was even more for it was MY BEST FRIENDS BIRTHDAY! I chose my favourite black dress and got my hair styled by the best hair designer around. I had to look my best; it was my best friend’s party after all.
Done with the dressing up, I left for the party in my BMW. With a lot of gusto in me, I entered the party place. I looked around, and obviously being a girl, I had it in me to notice others dresses and I found none of my friends and other people were dressed like me. All that excitement I had in me was lost at that very moment. Everyone was staring at me, with those weird looks on their faces. I felt I was being a cynosure in the party. But it was embarrassing to me as I felt I was looking gaudy and extravagant in that environment. One of my friends came to me and asked “why are you so overdone Aashima?” . And that question of hers made me more uncomfortable that evening.
Ignoring people’s gaze I went to wish my friend, Jai. He belongs to middle class strata and so the party wasn’t that hi-fi. People were all looking very plain, unlike me. Rather than enjoying, a part of my mind was stuck to that not-so-comfortable thought of me looking Overdone. I went to the washroom to wash off my makeup and ended up looking wasted. I sat down in one corner trying to save myself from the looks that I’d invited, but all in vain. My friend was more embarrassed than I was, thanks to me! Everyone out there was asking him about me. I felt horrible, horrible for spoiling my friend’s birthday.
Dressing to the nines was never so upsetting to me. That night when I was off to bed I went into my deep thoughts. That evening for sure gave me a lesson that one should always deem advice of friends and wear dress and makeup according to the occasion and place where you’re going. So, it’s not always a good idea to be dressed to the nines.
