Friday Night Frenzy....(FNF)

If you want to know what FNF means...come to NYC

It was my first Friday in NYC. I just came out of the office and it hit me like Tsunami would have hit Indonesia. It was all over and I got splashed, squashed and swashed. Everybody was in double hurry to reach their destinations and start partying. The very expensive NYC cabs were hard to find that evening and there were scores of people waiting for them. We really had to do a lot of search and fight to get fast into the cab before anybody else catches it.

We had a company get-together in an up market restaurant earth-NYC which had a beautiful decoration with thousands of candles adorning its walls and other decorations and antiques displayed giving it a slightly Indian looks (actually it was owned by an Indian who dint look like one but was speaking beautiful Punjabi). We had a long dinner spread over numerous courses where actually everybody wanted to taste all the dishes from the South-East Asian menu spread across Mumbaiya Bhel puri to Punjabi samosas and Fried Bhindi to Palak paneer (sorry I always forget Non-veg menu as I am vegetarian) and sip all the cock-tails and wines on the list ranging from Vodka-Pani puri to Mango Martini and Merlot.

Our looooooooong dinner finished at around 10 and it was the time when earth changed its colors. The music started getting loud and the place started getting crowded. earth-NYC is an open vodka bar after 9:30 and they serve free shots of Vodka in exactly the same way they used to serve Chai on khokhas in India, the very same glass carried in that steel framed tray. Soon after a few shots everyone was on the dance floor shaking their booties on hippest songs which even included some Punjabi hits from saadda India.

When we came out of earth, it was a very young night outside waiting for us. Every street was having fun with the mad people swarming all around. Especially in the Village area which hosts a host of clubs, discs and pubs, you can see people enjoying to the fullest. There were drunks doing buffoonery, gays getting cozy with their mates, friends fighting and enjoying amongst each other, lovers having a good time and wanderers like us watching each and every person and enjoying just by the feel of being in that place at that time...and feeling the FNF.
