playing host

i love playing host! i love having people over and cooking for them, arranging things perfectly for them. i love to see people have a good time and i love to be a part of it. i go out of my way to do all this.

i make good pasta and remember this one time last year when i had five of my graduation friends over and my parents were not home and i made pasta! pasta for seven people(seven including me and my brother) and i had these drinks and had made garlic bread at home. it was quite a task to cook and serve all of that and also, make sure they're having a good time. but i like that nervousness and pressure. its nice being reason and part of someone's happiness.

oh! and my house has to be prim and proper for all these occasions. all things in place and clean and shiny. clean bedsheets and happy curtains. lots of cushions and healthy splash of colours around. vibrant and cheerful. comfortable and cosy. clean and simple. so, there is a whole lot of efforts in the pre-cooking stage and includes all of this - cleaning rooms, arranging things and managing colours and music.

i am more a house-party sort of a person. i enjoy it more than lounges, pubs and clubs. it is not messy, not unnecessarily filled with strangers, loud music and lack of lights. house parties are cozy and comfortable, relevant and more fun. so,when i host one i am very particular about everything major, minor and minutest!

today, had one of the bestest friend from SIMC (my post-grad), Vinaya, over and since its summer, i had planned to start off with a mango shake. hakka noodles and manchurian. chocolate swiss roll and butterscotch ice-cream. the interesting part is all this was planned for lunch and she came home only by 9.30 pm (due to personal reasons!) and so, all of these were not served in the order i had planned but served nonetheless! :P
