Party all night
Yo Yo Honey Singh has no part to play here. But we are pretty confident that 2014 will see some life being pumped back into Mumbai’s pubs and nightclubs. No more Cinderella-like midnight deadlines, pubs will stay open till 4 am. And here’s an idea to keep miscreants and ruckus-creators at bay: every nighclub owner should invest in a dozen Dhoble-masks and make it mandatory for all bouncers to wear them post 11 pm. Anyone crossing the decibel level or throwing a tantrum will be made to do 10 sit-ups for a first offence -- something that has been perfected in Ahmedabad by NaMo’s cops. Occasionally invite the real Vasant Dhoble over too as a guest of honour, so that troublemakers are kept guessing.

But what if you end up having a drink too many? Worry not, a new trend is on the horizon. Nightclubs will employ a posse of drivers who will drive you home for free (or for a nominal charge) in your own car, in case you are drunk. After all, you have given the club a lot of business already by drinking a tub of beer. They owe you this much. As we write, one nightclub in Andheri has already started this system. Expect others to follow suit in 2014.
