Clubbing

Clubbing in Mumbai is an interesting experience - to say the least. Much like the rest of your experience in this city, "crowded" will be a good word to describe any club here. So we head to a club - all girls in our most provocative clothes (given that we cant be very provocative even when we try, you can just imagine how we looked) to find we are not dressed provocatively enough. The bouncer wont let us in and tells us patronizingly - "its very very crowded inside, you dont want to go in.. no really". I did the whole leaning-forward-to-display-what-appears-to-be-the-lack-of-a-cleavage, but the bouncer was obviously getting his jollies with actual cleavage from others! Ah the unfairness of it all!!

So off we go to the club next door only to find creepy crawlies all over the place. No I am not talking about lizards, but well, to be honest with you those men could practically be lizards and one wouldnt know the difference. Ooooh bitchy!! So back we go to the bouncer man at Club 1, this time a few beers down and lot more confident of the powers our cleavage held. This time he relents (maybe he had also had a few beers) and lets us in. Ah joy, we were in a local train with fancy music and lights. Not once did one feel like one was not on ones way to work, except the people were dressed in much cooler clothes and the music was truly deafening. Ah yes, critical differences one would say, but not this one, no sirree!

And then, just as the mood was beginning to get peppier... tequila shots had been downed, we were seeing the beginnings of some conversation, they stopped the music. Cops wanted a piece of the action as well but club 1 decided they werent cool enough. "No cleavage no entrance", the bouncer must have said. In response the cops would have lathi charged the crowd and to avoid violence the club was unceremoniously closed. And we still had coupons left! Ah the injustice!! These coupons will be used next time around surreptitiously mixed with the new coupons we will buy. Club 1 will never know the difference... muahaha!!
