Western Assault of Urban Bangalore


My 27th New Year Party- The best, as I got a chance to see a totally different kind of life for the first time.

For the prior information of all the readers- I don't drink.
For the first time We planned to celebrate our new year in Pub- the MOST important part of Urban Bangalore.
Venue- Xtreme Sports Bar. Occasion- 2010 New Year.

We were the first one to enter the pub. We were given bean bags to sit- red colored.
As time passed, the pub authorities allowed people to enter without any thought of space limitation.
We had starters and some mock-tails in the beginning. The regular food was timed at 12'O clock new year time which was disgusting (as this matters the most to me).
DJ started at around 9:30 PM and it was pretty decent, the dance floor was small to accommodate people to the extent they had allowed in the Pub.
Initially, spirit consumption increased slowly like a Tortoise but with time its consumption increased exponentially as if "Harshad Mehta's" effect has reached here also. 
People had vomited every where- washroom, stairs, tables to celebrate NEW YEAR. People- including girls- were falling here and there- from stairs, couldnt walk properly to celebrate NEW YEAR. Cant comment  on what else they did after getting drunk!!!

At12 mid night after celebrating the new year by throwing and breaking bottles (a new style of celebrating new year- probably MODERNIZATION), the pub declared that police has warned the pub to close down. So we left early.

Earlier, I thought modernization meant your attitude, your behaviour, thirst for knowledge, might be your style statement to some extent (and still I believe in this).
I have seen a NEW meaning of modernization for the first time- which includes drugs, sex (straight or other way round), people falling to any levels to show that they are modernized (a guy going out with any type of girl just for sexual attraction), drinking UNLIMITED, then celebrating the New Year exactly at 1200 by THROWING and BREAKING bottles.

This is not Modernization, this is just westernization. On the other-hand, Western countries have started adopting Indian Culture. The good thing COULD HAVE BEEN learning from different cultures. Instead of learning,  reversal of culture is taking place. The minds are changing- people are just accepting what's appealing to the mind without thinking whether its good or bad.

For me it wasnt a waste of INR 1500/- as I got to know a new kind of life style.

Bro, that's a good post you made there. What you've written about is certainly not modernization. But, at a certain level, it isn't westernization either. It's just beyond the norm presently in practice.

I'm not supporting any ideology here, just saying that it is incidents like this that tell us something... Anything can happen in this world :P
