THE PARTY THAT SCARED ME :-(

                                             That was some PARTY !!!!

                                                                      

 That must have been a scary one for a 6 year old , maybe that is why I still remember it .One evening our neighbor  uncle organised a party . There was loud music , many people were going in . We could hear laughter , dance  and music  !!! 

The irony we youngsters found  was that .........party is always for birthdays with balloons and cakes   ....here we were not even invited to be  a part . We were terribly disappointed :-( Uncle always loved us , he used to take us for outings in his car .....but then  when he love us this much how could he possibly not invite us ?? We were hurt  !!!

Everyone ...all the elders were enjoying the treat ....Mind it ...the Male gang ...even our Acha was  invited .

Amma  or any other aunties  had no complaint about not being invited . And they cruelly stopped us from going anywhere near that house 

The music was tempting , the laughter was welcoming ....but we were banned   ....our  small gang wandered here and there ,in groups and otherwise to get a picture of what was going inside that house .....all in vain 

And as the night progressed , the laughter disappeared , and in its place there were some shouting , arguments and noise . We go scared . We could see that the female crowd was also helplessly listening to all these ,but not taking a move at all , as if they were also scared too . 

And then we witnessed the most scaring scene ....the uncle next door who was the host to the party was shouting , and walking as if he has lost all balance 

We thought he was seriously ill . Acha slowly came out and he was also not his real self . He quietly went home ,not saying a word . 

We were very much worried  about our Uncle and all others who were finding it difficult  to  walk and talk properly.

Looking back after all these years ,  the scene is still fresh in memory .....maybe because we have never seen someone drinking ....In fact we never knew anything about drinking .....for us drinking was only milk ,coffee, tea and maybe some juices :-( 

Too scary for a 6 year old :-(

                                                     

This was totally new experience to us .....next day we saw them all back to normal ...all happy and healthy .....and we were happy too  ....and as days passed by we forgot the hurt ....because Uncle was again normal and was taking us for all his outings ...What more could we ask for ???
