The City of Good Times

To the unitiated, this would be Mumbai, India. I've been away from this city for about 8 years and a lot has changed (for me atleast!). For one, when I was 12, I hadn't a clue about cafes and discos and pubs. Not that I could ever claim to be a resident expert on any of the above even now!

The best thing about this city, is that like me, it suffers from chronic insomnia! 11 o'clock at night is when people usually begin hitting their favourite night spots. By the time it's 2, and the liquor levels have hit home, their finding the closest caffeine joint. And at 3 o'clock they're looking to get themselves their next fix at one mid-night buffet or the other.
