Blue Monkey

I visited a night club yesterday known as the Blue Monkey. It was one of the many night clubs I have been fortunate to visit in recent months. However, this one promised to be a special treat since it was advertised to be a 'bollywood night'. Women were expected to be dressed 'smart and sexy' and the guys were expected to cough up 12 dollars and be 'dressed' . 

In characteristic fashion, we planned to reach there by 9 and finally reached there at 10 pm. A pleasant surprise was that the two friends Aarti was bringing along turned out be females too. That brought the tally to 3 guys and 5 girls showing up at the trendy and happening bar - Blue Monkey. At least that is what we hoped it would be. But alas, what we found was an almost empty and small corridor of a bar with little to offer as a dance floor.

One of the things an entry fee does to you is to start making you look at the brighter things in life. So what if its a small bar! So what if it has a pathetic DJ playing slow hip hop! Let us try and enjoy! So with this motivation, a spirited few of us decided to offer enthusiasm to what seemed like a budding DJ. And it worked! Not only were we soon in the groove, the tempo of the music also went up several notches too to keep pace. The rest of the evening unfolded itself as a cramped, sweaty yet thoroughly enjoyable dance fiesta. A combination of hollywood and bollywood music swayed us to its beats till 2am when we finally decided to call it quits.
