May be the sudden summer heat wave got to them. We've seen boats on the beach, but Zenzi decided to put the beach on a boat.
This weekend, the party has shifted to the azure blue waters of the Arabian Sea. On board a ferry are white drapes, golden soft sand to dig your toes in, sun beds to daydream on and big umbrellas to keep the nasty sun at bay.
If you are done with contemplating life on the open-air deck, climb to the lower level where DJ Hero de Janeiro will get his resident Amsterdam vibe to the city.
Chef Milos has made sure that you do not starve at the sea with a scrumptious feast of barbeque specials and yum veggie munchies with fancy cocktails and cold beers.
Don your summer best and head to the Gateway of India, from where boats will transport you to the ferry.

This Saturday, catch up with Ankur Tewari and his dysfunctional family. Band Ankur and the Ghalat Family will be playing songs from Ankur's solo album titled Chand Chahiye. His album promises 11 tracks of easy listening hummable fun.
"I call it easy acoustic. They don't have very complex chords. It's something you can pick up easily and hum along to," Ankur tells MiD DAY.
The title track, admits the lead singer, is dedicated to all the 'material girls of the world'. "I had a friend who kept showering his girlfriend with gifts hoping it would make her stay.
But she didn't. My song talks about a boy who gets his girlfriend the moon but she asks for stars, after that," he smiles.
Another song close to his heart is Jaanu, dedicated to friends who've stood by him through thick and thin. CDs are available at the venue. Show up and get your CD signed by the band.
If Acoustic Rock is not really your thing, DJ Tiago and DJ Nishant Technoboy in room 1 will make you groove to the right vibe.

For those who don't really have an ear for western classical music, the name Dame Felicity Lott might not really strike a chord. But for the initiated, "Flott" as she is universally known, is in the city.
The English soprano, who's operatic repertoire ranges from Handel to Stravinsky, made her debut in 1975 as Pamina in Mozart's The Magic Flute at the English National Opera.
Watch out for her French melodies and the German Lieder. Her line-up for tomorrow has songs by Purcell, Schumann, Berlioz and Offenbach and features Maciej Pikulski on the piano.

There was a time in our life when we could slurp on an ice lolly without doubting its origins. Get back to childhood, or the other side of adulthood as Vikalp Film Society puts it, with two films on that age of innocence.
Kala Khatta is Advait Chandan's five minute-long film on a bald man and a bold boy. This is to be followed by a 70 minute-long documentary, I Wonder, that makes its Mumbai premiere.
Anupama Srinivasan's film takes you to classrooms in rural India and makes you ponder if a child is truly father to the man.
Pub Hop your Way into a Night of Revelry
Do Or Die This Weekend

St Patrick's Day, as Wikipedia might inform you, is one of the leading days for consumption of alcohol in USA, and typically, is one of the busiest days of the year for bars and restaurants.
Though the actual date passed this week, bestofbombay.com brings you a fantastically revised version of the fest with the St Patrick's Day Bar Crawl. Get seriously sloshed as you hop from one bar to another, within the South Mumbai precinct.
It might feel weird to be huddled into a topless bus with absolute strangers while you go bar-hopping, but the drunken revelry should break the ice.
The route crisscrosses Busaba, Valhalla, Soul Fry Casa and Czar. Get one free drink at each bar and wind up at a nightclub post the crawl to dance the night away.
A collaboration with the Party Hard Drivers gets you a complimentary chauffeur service if you get your car along. A word of caution, though, mind your head while on the bus. |
