So, I decided to host a dinner for all the gals in our gang. This, inspite of the fact that I have a 'no guests-no partying' rule in the house, imposed by my houseowner, who is otherwise a nice and warm lady.
Success factor#1: I had a 100% turnout and one extra!
Success factor#2: I decided Potluck coz cooking for 9 girls is no fun. Plus, given that we are all so international, it only made sense. So the theme was 'One dish from your country'. Food was simplistic but had a W-I-D-E variety. From Russian dumplings, Chinese fried fish, Indian Pav Bhaji (yours truly), Spicy Nachos, loads of North Indian (yuck!) snacks and mouth-watering Tiramisu. We all sat around in the large couch, put the food on the table and just dug in. Drank a bit (but not as much as we expected!) and just laughed and bitched about boys, colleagues, Swedes (but obviously!) and sex. We were so engrossed that we didn't do the other activity we had planned viz board game and a reading of the Kamasutra.
Surprise factor - during the bitching session yesterday, most of them confessed that they didnt think highly of some people I didn't highly of. I was like 'Damn! So, if you don't like these guys, how are they the most popular guys around?'. No answer.
Success factor#3: I am popular. Even the fika I had hosted had a 100% attendance plus extras. It was crowded, noisy and totally social. Loved it!
