/.../ Italian and japanese menus are a sure thing and the selection of alcohol should in no way deceive an Indian living in London back for a visit. The DJs will most certainly drop a few remixed Bollywood hits into the house mix. As for the famous "dance bars" where strippers can be found, the reactionary city leaders, in power for years, are rapidly closing them down. Actually, Bombay revellers are the same as those found in Moscow or Shanghai: globalized. Their dream: live like westerners. "West is Best"! Going out in Bombay is an activity reserved for the rich. For he who spends the most ostentatiously and who is seen with the most celebrities. Or he who stays within exclusive high society groups. With the hope of appearing in the Glam and Glory column of the Bombay Times. To quote Time Out Mumbai : "Linger over your drink as you watch the prettiest people from Mumbai's prettiest suburbs tell each other how pretty they all are".
