dreamed of chipped, black heeled slipons and old dames, while a friend drew sepia-vintage images of devika rani getting out of leons on commercial street with heavy make-up on. made me wonder about the dance bars and what happened to those women who lost their sugar daddies to grey hair and wrinkles.
the ban on dance bars seems a bit ridiculous. this trade will always exist and has always done so...
ban on dance floors? bangalore's urban space is crowded with partiers and most now have to think twice abt shakin their legs to music. even while sitting at their table. there shd be enough spaces for all types of people.
11:30 pm closure on nightlife is still a party pooper. but after long, am thinking it makes sense. this is a city of not only the young and hip wanting to party the night away. it is a city of anxious parents, wives and children. while there cant be a one thing that caters to all, the 11:30 ban just pushes people to continue partying within the safe confines of their homes. works.
