Glitter and glut

Sadly, what we also missed was the welcome and attention from the hosts which is the integral part of the norms of hospitality. The other day it caught the unfortunate hosts in short shift. From luxurious lights to pitch darkness it was but a microsecond! The scene that unfolded beggars description. Between shouts and screams; quite a number of unfortunate lady guests suffered sprained ankles; no thanks to fashionable high heels and the mounds of randomly uneven earth here and there in the park. A few ladies fell flat on the dewy evening grass, ruining both their dress and egos! One unfortunate lady got her legs entangled in the randomly coiled electrical cables on the ground adjacent to the many dinner tables set out. She fell on one dinner table and was hurt both physically and emotionally while all the laid out array of rich dishes fell unceremoniously over her and on to the grass!

What a sad episode to mark the show of glitter and glut amid the want everywhere. May be it was the Almighty's way to punish unwarranted show of pomp and glory.
