Excruciating!!

I finally know what i hate the most about big gatherings, where you don't know anyone.. its the part, when they get excruciatingly monotonous.. and btw, this is officially an outburst, after i been to one such gathering tonight..

almost 50% of people there don't care to change their expressions or their positions, except when the food arrives.. its their face with their whole life story written on it, nothing separates them, all with same forced cheerfulness which vanishes away as the host turns, they sit in one corner guarded by their likes sulking inside, and trying to maintain a plain, composed face..

then there are some others... filled with some unforeseen energy from some secret moon of some secret planet.. i mean, they are sincerely putting a lot of effort to lift the spirit of the humdrum around; but they just look so out of place.. i can't understand how you connect to so many unconnected people, coz thats how most of them are.. looking at their watches, more often than they'd look at the carefully assembled arrangement or the slogged decoration; they're unconnected like skull and blackboard.. for them, this meant just banging their skulls against the board, which definitely changes nothing, except making them crankier as night passes..

and you would initially think that kids, would "save" you, from this pain of boredom; but you see, its only "initially" that they seem to do something interesting; then they also, like Bollywood directors start selling the same cake in different packs, and that doesn't remain cute for long..
so you keep looking around, in sheer hope of a face that is worth observing.. but BANG!! you eyed some aunty who now keeps staring or passing smiles at you, and you'd curse yourself for looking at her in the first place..

i really don't think i can survive anything like this, for a long time now.. had exercised all my brain energy tonight to try to remain awake there in that crowd of monotonous faces.. why can't they make this a rule; kind-of a reservation of 15% for people with interesting habits, who can help keep a gathering alive..
