Bar Baar Literally

The term ‘Bar Baar’ is an emotion & translating it into English would just ruin the way I feel about it. But I’d do it for my readers anyways-It means I’d go to this Pub over and over again and still want more! Can you believe there is a placed named after this & it used to be my ADDA.

I’m a girl who at the age of 21 was taken by her family to the most happening place in town (Hard Rock Cafe) to bring in her birthday in style. I did indeed with a flaming shot & my brother by my side. How cool is that right! What more do I need! That was one helluva night & that’s where my story begins..

It was then that I developed my undying LOVE for Partying. The feel it gave me, the rush I had in me every time I stepped in, the never ending nights, the surprise element not knowing what song was going to be on next, the dancing away like nobody’s watching & most importantly living it up with no judgement at all.
I can think of not one, but a gazillion different nights at ‘Bar Baar’. Each one was one of a kind. The friends were different (as you know people come and go), the songs hit differently, the outfits were different, the crowd was different; but the one thing that always stayed the same was the place, the way I felt and my Kickass Dance Moves!!

Some times it was love, sometimes it was catching up with long lost friends, sometimes it was new found friends & sometimes it was strangers that brought me to this place. But the band, the DJ, the vibe just killed the small talk in minutes and by the end of it all, we’d be setting the dance floor on fire! I LIVE for those kind of nights, creating those kind of memories and reminiscing over them. Thinking about them does make me feel alive but on the other hand, at times it truly makes me want to relive them again!

Hence I definitely owe it to this place and here is my ode to them. They pretty recently shut down and it hasn’t been the same since. I’ve been to many new places, but nothing seems to beat their feel & vibe. If only someone could take me back to those good old days with my Whiskey & Coke. I’d be the Happiest & ask nothing more.

No matter what I’d say or write, it is never going to do justice to the way I felt on those nights. I’m on my journey finding MY place yet again with some great Desi music, until then I’m living it up and making the most out of every place I stumble upon.

You can definitely take the place out of me, but not the undying love I have for Partying!!
xoxo
