Hello everyone, today we will talk about how to do the best parties in our lives.
I must say that life is indeed a rocking party, and we should keep taking a sip of joy until it lasts. It can surely last forever, for sure, or at least I like to think it will.
When I think about partying, I think of a joyous time. An experience euphoric for each person in that party. I mean we all love a party, don’t we? A party is something we look forward to, a party is an excuse for people to meet and have a fun time.
Now, time can be fun in so many ways. Two people can also have fun in so many ways, three people is always an interesting gathering that can have unexpected outcomes. But I feel a party needs at least four people. I could be wrong or biased, but a group of four people is the smallest and strongest chain in the social ecosystem.
Four people acting together without backstabbing each other and supporting each other can easily rule a world of 1000 people. The strength of 4 individuals acting together as a team can scatter a mob of 50 loosely tied and non-intentional individuals. If four individuals choose each other to spend time with and be themselves, then nothing in this world can stop a lavish party incoming.
The world beyond 4 people.
When we move beyond four people, every time there will be a new person. The party involves the fifth person and they should also have a gala time. Now different people have different versions of having a gala or euphoric times but one point on which we all can agree is that it is blissful, when we get an opportunity to be just ourselves.
So, the first pillar of having a great party is to ensure that every member is free to be themselves. There was a time when a lot of new people used to come to my place, I always ensure that they felt respected, welcomed, and heard. I have seen people who are totally different in their conduct otherwise, laughing and jumping for joy, dancing and having a blast in front of me and other nomad folks.
They loved it because they felt valued and cherished. Though I cannot tell you the cost that I had to bear later, for providing good times to the seekers, I can just say, it was worth it. I think it is just not about parties, but in our lives too, when people meet us, at any point in our life, they should feel the warmth and the vibes in us.
Anyways let us come back to the topic which is ‘party’. So, we know so far that to have an exciting party, we should greet, each one of our guests with respect and freedom. Now the next aspect of the party is that when 4, 5, or 10 people our meeting, what will they consume?
Substance in the party
The eyebrow of some of you might be stretched upward right now after reading the headline but trust me, when you are with the right people substance doesn’t matter. Some people can have a gala time over a coffee, noodles, old monk rum, the greenery of the earth, or ******** chemical Nirvana.
So, you can choose any substance to consume, in terms of eating drinking or vaping, whatever suits your group of friends. Whenever a person takes out time from his or her daily grind to go out and meet someone, he/she is going there with the hope that they might feel good. Even if we are reluctant to go and we are still pushing ourselves, that is again because we hope, that we might feel good there.
Sometimes I just escape reality and run towards my friends to laugh, abuse them, and laugh louder. I think this is the beauty and importance of friends in our lives, that we can freely feel ourselves, with them. And then of course I come back and take care of my shit. Just like a sane person would do.
So far, we have discussed that freedom and something to feed on, are an important staple for a great party. Now I’ll tell you a game, and I assure you that when you and your friends will play this, they will love it and you will love it. And I bet you, you will not be able to stop yourself the next morning talking about the game.
The Ring of Praises
The rules of the game are very simple, first, everyone in the group must sit in a form of a ring. You don’t have to create an exact circle, but everybody should be able to see everyone’s face.
Second, you cannot play this game at the start of the party rather when the ice starts to break, People have consumed a fair number of edibles, and only then you can play this game. Starting it very early might lead to people not opening much.
Now you start with the game, as the host of the party picks up a person you most love or would be most comfortable to praise. You only have to say two good things about that person. Following you, each member of the group will say two good things about that person on his/her face. When all is done, the last person who received all the flowery praises will select the next person, to shower the praises.
And you dare wait for your turn when they will start praising you too. There are so many instances and reasons for others and us, to remind us of our bad things. And there is no bad time for a genuine compliment. 🙂
The feeling inside you when everyone will remind you about your good things. Feel happier to know, that you have made each guest of yours, feel the same happiness and they will love you for it.
The last and only time, I played this game, with my close friends, everyone loved it. Though, from that time a lot has changed, I still remember that time and that feeling, while I was playing that game.
The Ending Notes…
I was sharing thoughts on Technology with my readers, beloved readers, for a while. So, this blog and the last one I kept non-technical. Just general chit-chat. I want to talk to you, with my voice. Haha. Only if anyone of you, can help me with my podcast.
Today, we talked about the ‘Art of party’. How to create a good experience for people, and in turn for yourself. Freedom to be we, and edibles, are quite a good combination, for a good time. On top of that, add the creamy cherry of ‘The Ring of Praises’. I bet you, do tell me if you don’t love it, to your bones.
Lots of love fam. Keep going, keep building, towards the billions of joyful moments ahead.
XOXO
