The happening pubs of the city have a competition. No, not
from a new pub being added to the list, but from the new trend that’s gaining
popularity among collegians – sleepover parties! “It’s cool, affordable and a
lot of fun,” says Sulochana C of Andhra Mahila Sabha College for Women.
What at one point was a thing of the western culture is now
a hip trend in Hyderabad. College students instead of hitting a dance floor at
a disco shake a leg at their homes. Sulochana with her friends make sure to
organise at least one sleepover party at any of the friend’s place, with each
of them getting their fanciest of night wear. “We order pizzas, muffins, cakes
and coke,” she shares. So what really happens at a sleep over party? “We stay
up all night long, watch movies, and dance to latest tracks,” she adds.
Komal from Nizams College likes to have theme sleepovers. In
a recent party, the theme for the night was ‘school girls’. “We had all dressed
up like school girls, got some biryani, little snacks to munch and soft drink
to sip. After filling our tummies with yummy food, it was time to play
makeover. We tried out different hair dos and painted each other’s nails.”
Those with a little wilder side to them make the party fun
by turning the house into a mini pub. Bhanu Prakash from K.I.T.E. College of
Professional Engineering Sciences quips, “It’s only when my parents are out of
town that I call my friend home for a sleepover. There is drink, food and a lot
of gossip. Yeah, we chat about girls, who’s dating whom, who’s the hottest, games
gadgets and fun stuff like that.”
