FRs on the last 2 days of bar hopping in NM - 31st and 1st - I am finally back in the USA. I did not get the time to reflect on the last 2 days of mongering in NM, so here is a brief account.
Part 1/2: 31st December:
1) Magnet OB: I headed out to Magnet around 11:30 on the 31st to meet a cute chick I had connected with briefly in September. She has put on a little bit of weight around her midriff, but still looks super hot. She was busy dancing for a bunch of her regular guests when I arrived. After exchanging pleasantries, she implored me "Dance toh karwao", so I checked with her guy if it was ok with him... he was leaving anyway, so he did not mind. Made her dance on a few numbers over the next 45 minutes until the bar staff interrupted proceedings to cut a cake (at 15 past midnight). Then I headed out to Belapur.
BTW, a lot of the girls were missing from Magnet OB on 31st night. I did not see another cutie I was particularly interested in. The steward mentioned that a number of girls skipped 31st because they were afraid of being "insulted" if no one showered money on them. Weird logic.... but that's how these bar girls think I guess.
The Red Bull was Rs 700... I don't remember what their normal price is, so not sure if I was overcharged due to it being 31st.
2) Star Night OB: The bar was packed when I got there. I managed to reserve a table for 5 next to the stage. I met
@pri and
@mumbai monger briefly before they had to leave for other destinations. A couple of my favorites were also missing from Star Night.. .same bar girl logic I guess. There were 2 guys seated at separate tables with piles of cash, getting ready to shower their non-dancer eye candies. A couple of other girls that I know walked up to me and informed me that they are leaving because no none will make them dance while these 2 guys are showering money on their muses.
Anyways, I left too for the same reason.. one of these guys with cash was sitting right next to me, so there was no space to make any girl dance in front on me.
BTW, they charged me 600 for a Red Bull... no price raise for me on 31st night (which was surprising).
3) Bebo and Star City: I moved to Bebo OB, where I found out that they also have a DB ("disco") section that was open late on 31st night. The staff told me they would remain open till 5am. I found Pri in Bebo, but could not get a good seat for myself, so moved to Start City, where the same story was repeated. All the good seats were taken. At this point, I was done hopping. There were 2 chicks waiting for me in Meghraj OB, so headed there with the intention of staying till they close.
4) Meghraj OB: Meghraj OB rocked on the 31st, It was so packed that for the 1st time there. I had to share a table with strangers. The guy next to me stuck up a conversation where he revealed that he had been to Meghraj OB a number of times, but had never managed to get any girl's number or taken a girl out. He expressed his liking for a girl that I had been chatting with and tipping. I introduced her to this guy. She assumed he was a friend of mine. He made her dance on a few songs ; got her number and then left with her at around 3am. He could not thank me enough for setting him up with that hottie, when in reality I had nothing to do with her decision to go out with him - that particular girl is known to go out with customers even on 1st meeting as long as they are willing to pay her price.
In the meantime, I enjoyed scintillating dances by 2 girls that I had specifically come in for. A little competition works well in our favor.... both the girls put in extra effort to get more tips out of me. Meghraj was still rocking when I left at 5:30am.
They charged me Rs1400 for the 2 Red Bulls I had (works out to Rs700 per Red Bull, which is their regular price... so no inflation due to 31st).
