It was really hard for me in the beginning when for the first time I was supposed to go to a club and I had pretty different thoughts about that.The very first thing that came to my mind about clubbing was that "loads of alcohols" which I do not like as my personal choice ( preferably due to other kind of cultural background).
There was my friend's birthday celebration at his apartment. It was weekend and we had already made up our mind to enjoy(which could be different for different people). The plan was that we would go to his apartment in afternoon , celebrate for about 3 hours and then go for an evening show movie. After all sorts of fun, one of my friend checked available tickets online. Everyone was disappointed when we came to know that there were no more tickets available.
Now what to do. One after the another suggestions came along. I was busy in talking to others while suddenly it was decided to go clubbing. When I heard I was kind of uncomfortable due to that "thought". I was confused whether to back off and go back or not (because many of my friends could be disappointed). While I was busy thinking, the whole gang started to move ; there I was left, pretty confused. Finally I decided to go with them on a condition that if I wouldn't like it I would move out and go back.
We reached at the club house. The whole environment was electrifying with rocking songs. I started liking it. But the moment I entered the club, there were sights of alcohol drinking. I was reluctant to move further, but carried on. Soon I saw most of my friends started drinking too and even forced me to have one. I was shocked and disappointed. I decided to go back. While thinking I could feel the cultural conflict between me and them. I told some of my friends and told them I am not quite used to it so I am better going back. They kept asking me to stay but I could not.

Finally one of my friends decided to go back with me as I was new in Mumbai and was bad at finding my way to home. He had not drunk so while in the way, I told him how I felt and what was the real reason. He understood and even told me to never mind and top of that told me to join next time. I wondered. He said that it is not necessary to drink and join the dance in clubs. Once you are enjoying music you can go and have fun.
I was pleased and relieved as well. "Now I can go to a club too!!!", I thought. The conflict really gave me an important experience.
