i am going to bombay and have not been there since 96′ i hope it’s changed from the last time i was there as the nightlife was pathetic and most joints would only let you in as ‘couples only’ or if your white it’s also difficult. I went out in Chandigarh nice places but not much happening. I am always skeptical when i read these posts as in the U.K it’s proper banging everywhere and still i have never found a place in the world like it, in the USA, Japan, Hong Kong, South Africa and many more places don’t come close, so i take all these comments with a pinch of salt as most people don’t really know the meaning of party and if they are natives again it might be banging to them but not in the real world. i really hope i am wrong, but i doubt it !

I totally agree with Sherie, if you were born and brought up in Bombay and have moved to a North American city…life seems dull. Bombay is the BEST!!! the glitz the glamour, the life, the exuberance, the vibrance…WHOA!!! For the past decade I have lived in EUropean cities and am now in Canada, and not one city measures up to the nite life of Bombay. Bombay truly ROCKS!

So just a question…Can you party any night of the week in Mumbai or is it just limited to the weekends?

Sherie’s absolutely right. and ADE’s a nutter, because Delhi is a P for pathetic city. Nice, wide avenues. Right. But step out and you’ll be kidnapped. Now let’s look at Bombay. A truely cosmopolitain city. Dynamic. Always on the move. 18 million residents, half of them living in slums (real estate prices sky-high). But at least the crime rate is so low that I can walk around my neighbourhood without the fear of being kidnapped. That’s the difference. And that is what makes the Bombayite special. The city’s residents always stick up for another. I repeat, Delhi is pathetic. There’s only one thing in Delhi which is good, the restaurants!!! Nothing else.

Mumbai is all about energy..About working women who wake up @ 4am each day,about their struggle in the local trains and movies being their common source of entertainment. Its about women who feel safer here than any other Metro..its about young men who know its RUDE to stare!! Yeah..it has its flip side of stinking garbage, overflowing drains, poverty…But for someone who ha grown up there and is now in North America – MUMBAI ROCKS!!!

I live in the UK and just got back from a stag-do in Mumbai and I have to say that it really is one hell of a place to party. It's pretty wild. The bars and clubs are vibrant and happening. We all had a great time. The atmosphere is amazing. As one of the lads said, "If you go to Mumbai once, you just want to keep going back" and now I know what he means. It can be very expensive though. And the more popular spots can get crowded. But with a population of 12.5 million that's hardly surprising.

It's one of places you should experience. It's a city of massive contrasts - appalling poverty and obscene decadence almost side by side. Nowhere have I been that made me realise more than ever just how fortunate I am. Seeing that kind of poverty really puts things in perspective.

I worked in Hyderabad for a month last year and was slightly surprised at the nightlife there, in that I knew the bigger cities in India had "scenes," but it was still somewhat strange to see women going to bars alone, etc. And that was Hyderabad, which apparently has a nightlife that pales in comparison to most larger Indian cities.

Usually when I go to India I spend most of my time in Kerala, reading lazily upon the hammocks and creaky porch swings of my relatives. Call me a geezer but I would probably rather stick to that and the free, delicious food that comes with it. If I wanted to pay exorbitant sums for sub-par food or see dudes wear weather- inappropriate clothes at clubs, I'll go to L.A.

Still, it's pretty neat to see the growth of the arts there too. It must be especially thrilling for the folks involved in the arts/nightlife community to see their budding, nascent scenes just boom like they apparently have over the last decade or so.

I'll definitely have to lay-over in Mumbai for a few days next time I'm in India.
