Double-Decker Bombay

I took a joyride around South Bombay in an open top Double-Decker bus. I’ve never done that before, but I thought I do the touristy thing since I was at one of the Bombay India Hotels a  a tourist and see what it was like. I was meeting a bunch of my friends at the IPL Bar Crawl to watch the cricket match that would be playing on the big screen.  The entry into the club was nominal, but the drinks were on the expensive side, but luckily I brought enough money to get the drinks coming during the whole match. I was pleasantly surprised about how organized the whole event was, we had purple ID wristbands letting the club people know we were guest that signed up for this event. because there was a whole random crowd trying to fit in.

This was my first time to the club and I really enjoyed that the drinks kept flowing, free shots were being handed out to the women in multi-colored blinking glasses. Then my friend introduced me to the organizers and I discovered how small of a world it really is, I found out that one of the organizers was related to my old college roommate. I always here in-order to get a job in a club, it’s all in who you know, so I promptly asked about employment. While the boys watched the cricket match, was selling myself to the promoters. I was a little drunk from the shots, but hopefully they didn’t notice that when I handed them my phone number.

Then my friends pulled me away and announced we were moving to our next stop. They rushed me to stand first in line so we could get seats on top of the Double-Decker bus. Once we all got on, we were off to Bootlegger. I really couldn’t fathom how the bus driver managed to negotiate the mammoth bus around all the narrow lanes, but he did. He even went the wrong way on a road making the oncoming cars back up! Impressive indeed. We were laughing so hard watching all the drivers flip-off the bus driver. But, then we heard people start yelling ‘Tree’! and we turned around in enough time to duck. Some weren’t so lucky and got hit in the head. We still couldn’t stop laughing. The whole Double-Decker bus experience was a blast. I wonder if they’re hiring? That seems like it would be as much fun and working at a club.
