Met this chap yesterday who was once the proud owner of a dance bar in Bangalore. I blinked a couple of times when he told me this, but it was obvious that he was used to such reactions. I suppose I envisioned the owner of a dance bar to be this seedy looking person of dubious character. But this chap looked very yuppy meets boy-next-door. The dance bar was originally a restaurant, which never managed to take off. He maintains that the food was excellent. But it had a flight of steps which spiralled all the way up to the first floor and proved an obstacle for women in high heels (and there were quite a few of them). That’s how the menu metamorphosed from serving Thai fare to Thigh fare
The enterprise was very profitable. However, it shut down post the ban on dance bars. Apparently this chap’s women friends wanted to visited the place. He suggested that they could visit anytime before working hours and do all the dancing they wanted. He would then throw money at them!
We exchanged house hunting and frightful landlady stories post that. And it’s obvious this city has some of the scariest landladies ever. Most of them are obssessed with cleanliness and that includes keeping cushions at exactly the same incline as decided by them.

Which bar? I’ve been to most of the Bangalore ones and at least two with stairs
Hey, the place is shut courtesy the government clamping down on such place. :(
Hey, I would ask you to do the same, if I was your landlord.
Pillows at 45 degrees angle. Shoes kept at right angles on the shelf. Books to be kept straight, not tilted on my side. Everything in the house has to be in parallel with something else. Everything should look coordinated. AND TOP IT ALL, YOU CAN ONLY WEAR THOSE COLOURS THAT MATCH MY FLAT WALLS. So I don’t see you staying in my house !
That’s what I call the height of colour coordination!
