"Knock the night"

"Socializing with strangers on strange moment"

On a day it was almost clicking 12, I was down with red eyes and exhausted, I was surrounded with music on the side and gossip on the other. On my table there bottle and a glass where I'm an occasional drinker, however, I'm a party person who likes the night more than the day :)

Well am from Bangalore, hope all of you know about Bangalore and its night life. Bangalore is famous for nightlife, bar pubs, We have a cool crowd as well from every corner of our country and its safe to party here!! What you think??

`So most of the time we use party in groups as its safe, even if we completely get sloshed we don’t have to worry. But partying with unknown group always dangerous friends never allow me to go alone.

Sometime when I am travelling where ever I go and wanted to hang out in the evening, want to go to parties I can’t do!! What to do, it’s a new city /country for me where I have to go and hang out I don’t have any friends there to keep me safe .

So I was very curious to check what if I go to alone!! I was not scared to travel around the world alone, never got scared of people or any situation so why not hang out in the pub?!! Let's Give it try a try…. So I made sure my mobile battery is full, got dressed up, decked up and left for the party :)

With a happy face and a nervous smile (Make up vanishing slowly) I stepped inside only to witness so many crowd!! Oh my god!! So many were hanging out there with their family , friends and their partners and then I was approached by a girl, she came with a big smile asking if anyone is accompanying me and do I need a table!! Unfortunately, no table was available and I was directed towards the bar counter when I said I am alone. I briefly acknowledged and started walking towards bar counter and ordered some beer :)

“when you’re alone at a bar, you might be thinking, ‘I hope no one thinks I’m a loser who doesn’t have friends, several scenarios can run through your head: Maybe they think you were available for a date. Maybe they think you’re just weird. “It can easily be misinterpreted.People are completely busy in their life, listening to music and dance, drink and enjoy completely , only few people only misbehaves or talk to the stranger but you should be bold and strong enough to show them that we can’t be taken for granted.

However, i'm here to tell you that you can still go out, solo, and have an amazing time.

It might feel weird or frightening at first, but the more you get used to it, the better you'll get and the more fun you'll have.
The first step to going out solo is to get into the solo mentality and ditch the old ideas that going out of an evening has to be a group thing, or that going solo to a bar is somehow shameful.

In fact, ther nothing that makes you seem more confident or charismatic than being able to turn up to a bar solo and own it. Even though it might seem alien at first, adjusting yourself to the concept that, actually, not everything fun has to be done with a group of mates in tow is a great life lesson to learn.

Friends will come and go throughout your life, and learning to roll with the punches and go solo at times will stand you in good stead.

Be open minded -While it's totally fine to spend the entire night on your own when rolling solo, ultimately the goal is to try and socialize at least somewhat. If you're not ready to start introducing yourself to strangers, the best way to get some company is to be as open-minded and approachable as possible.

Rather than staring completely engrossed at your phone or a book, simply enjoy your drink, strike up a conversation with the bartender and make eye contact with other customers that look like they're on their own. In other words, make it clear through your actions and body language that you're happy to talk.
If someone does approach you to start a conversation, keep an open mind. Stranger danger is something to be aware of, but try not to judge anyone too quickly - you never know the unexpected friends you could make.

It's common sense, but if you're feeling nervous have a drink or two to get you in a more relaxed and sociable mood. Drinking solo at a bar might feel a bit awkward at first, but to everyone else it's totally normal and can make you seem a lot more approachable.
If you find yourself in the situation many people find themselves in however where you've got no one to go out with, be if from moving away or leading different lives, it's easy to fall into the trap of becoming a hermit and never going out because you feel too awkward or judged.
Going out alone is something everyone should try at least once in life, but it's understandably difficult for some people. Nevertheless, persisting and working on building up your confidence so you can go out and have a good time without having to rely on friends will help you to become more independent, so it's worth a go.

Solo travel always leaves me pleasantly surprised, one way or another. The spontaneity is a constant reminder that life has the potential to be a big adventure if I’m willing to put myself out there, with or without someone by my side.
