Bar


Enclosed: After exhausting the body by working through the day, especially some men make smaller moments in which they escape routines. The routine here is of mundane work, living, commute and other duties. Work becomes laborious and monotonous; living has to deal with all kinds of duties and burden by constantly coming in terms with its family members, sometimes commute becomes difficult for one to make its space between strangers. In situations like this, isolation and the process of forgetting works at its best to deal with such problems of everyday. The process of forgetting things is through intoxicating and stimulating the senses for a while. A space required to undergo such behavior is called as a bar. 
A bar is a place, which sells drinks and refreshments and they are located between the everyday maneuvering of the city, in nearly every neighborhoods. Tables and chairs support this space by accommodating for an individual or a group of people, especially men. Because the prices are very cheaper for drinks and other refreshments, some people afford to visit this place regularly. It is a small marginal space with as many numbers of tables as possible with small fans running fast to evacuate smoke and other smells out of the space. Similar kind of people from the working class or the retired men spend hours, in the late evenings when this space is most active; to drink where they occupy a specific place and table everyday. After a point of time they become familiar to this space where, as soon as they enter, waiters start to prepare for the order. The overall mood in a bar is very subtle during evenings with dimly lit atmosphere inside and each table occupied by individuals. The process of consumption slowly starts. Unhurriedly, some people join with the already seated men, who disperse late from work and gradually the tables start to fill up. The decibels in this space slowly start increasing as more people join and also by consuming more and more alcohol. The only television which either runs a sports event or a Bollywood movie becomes engaging for some who are still seated alone in the crowd. The businessmen or the workingmen who have became friends with each other through sharing and exchanging thoughts and personal experiences, specifically talk about the events that is new on the news, about how the present is deteriorating and glorify the past events, speculating the future through their judgment of today, engaging in mobile phones, using abusive language and many other things. This space helps them because of the familiarity with the people there, that they talk to everyday about events and instances, which governs the logic's of engaging. The people whom they work, live and commute with do not share such nature of familiarity which they have with people over here and this space allows to burst themselves out of the mundane life, because they can talk about merely anything and yet no one will form an opinion about them as they all are in the same state of mind during that course of time.
