FEAR NOT THE NIGHT

No night is as dark as it seems. No despair is so deep that it cannot be lightened. We associate darkness with despair, but I have always found night to be kinder than day.

“The night has a thousand eyes……” and I have grown accustomed to the night’s brightness-moonlight, starlight, lamplight, firelight! Even fireflies and glow-worms light up the darkness.

Over the years, the night has become my friend. On the one hand it gives me privacy, and on the other it provides me with limitless freedom. In this lifetime, I have always felt safer by night, possibly because there aren’t too many people around when it’s very late.

At night we are alone with ourselves, with our secret fears, and the human mind is most uneasy when left alone with its inadequacies and defects. The day, on the other hand has so many distractions. We can forget ourselves and our failings in feverish activity, and in interacting with other insecure people. Their problem gives us some relief from our own.

“Nothing to fear when the sun goes down. Go out and accept the night on its own terms. It is not so dark as it seems”.

Mumbai Nights – A Way to Rock

It is 12 a.m. and its sunrise time for Mumbai's party animals. Mumbai night life is a blur of lights, music and drinks. This metro is famous all over the world for its magnificent nightlife. There is merriment at every corner of the city, people chatting over a cup of tea, traffic is on, sellers busy in their selling, its hard to believe its 12 in night. Then this is Mumbai where night never sleeps. I have experienced it myself. After day’s hectic schedule, it was at 12 am that we use to zoom out for having a closer look at Mumbai nights.

After the frenzied days work, the favorite spot of the Mumbites to chill are the night clubs where they dance, drink and refresh themselves with the rocking music. It was a high energy sessions where the people sweat, shaking their bodies to the high watt music and unwinding with the drink. This is no place other than pubs, discos and bars where the nocturnal animals rock. DJ’s lift their souls to zenith. It will not also be wrong to say that every lane and every by lane leads you to the den of night spots.

The other exciting night activities that you can indulge in Mumbai are, taking a long drive along the Mumbai Coast line, have a tea at Nariman point, visit the Bade Mia - a stall behind Taj Hotel that has chicken and paneer rolls available till the early morning hours. Try pizzas, juices, ice creams at the Bachelor's juice center opposite chowpatty and don't miss the Bandra's Band Stand - the most happening place that buzzes at night.

Its this place where famous Bollywood actors like Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan reside. This place is also famous because of its beautiful sea and sunset view and places around like Hill Road, Churches like Father Agnel and Mother Merry (Mount Merry) where one can enjoy cool breezy evening sitting with their beloved.

After taking a stroll at Band Stand sitting under the star studded sky unwinds you or yet another thrilling way to enjoy and experience the fascinating Mumbai Night Life-choose the corner table at any café and just watch the street life, the people, the sellers, and the traffic.
