R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I stopped for drink last night after a terribly hard day at work.

After driving around for a bit, finding parking and waiting 15 minutes for a table I was told it was a dry day. I’m not allowed to order a drink anywhere in Mumbai because the government does not want us drunk out of out of our wits 3 days before voting day.

That way we can be trusted to make a good decision.

So while votes are being bought for colour TVs, bags of rice and in some cases hard cash the government felt the best way to keep the electorate responsible and the elections clean is to clamp down on liquor.

I’m not an alcoholic. Not yet atleast.

I just resent being told what I can and cannot do.

I resent censorship on television and in movies.

And I hate moral policing.

I grew up in Bangalore. The city that started the pub culture in India. We had the first set of cool DJs, the best pubs and dance floors and the biggest liquor baron the country has ever had.

Today, Bangalore can’t dance, can’t play live music and can’t have a DJ. Pubs and restaurants shut shop at 11:30. Which means your last order is taken at 10:45!!!
Girls cant wear stringy tops and order a drink anywhere in Karnataka without running the risk of being beaten up.

As a responsible young citizen I demand my country respects me as an adult. I want to decide if I want to drink before voting day. I want to decide what I want to watch on TV.

I’m old enough to vote …. That means I’m old enough to make my own choices.

Priyanka Gandhi is completely stealing her brother's thunder.
Her campain is all anyone can talk about....and she is not even contesting..

Mumbai is the only city in the world where the unit of measurement for distance is time.

Sort of like in “light-years”. Except in Mumbai you’re not traveling at the speed of light.
