QBA

This weekend we headed to a lounge-nightclub-restaurant in Cannought Place, called the QBA. I expected some motif of Cuban culture. But there weren't any. So, we wondered if this was a watering hole for Q folks, since one of the gang with us was Q and loving it.

We smirked at the significance of our own conclusions. The patio upstairs is a good bet, and let's you escape the burst (sans any warning) of filmy music inside, playing to a gallery of private party folks. We arrived in time for happy hours, and ordered mojitos and white wine.

That's the beauty of Delhi life. You can reach a bar before 7.30 pm and actually enjoy the benefit of happy hours, unlike in Mumbai where you are sure to NOT reach the venue before 11 pm. Of course on the flipside, this city parties at 8 and sleeps at 11 pm.

On New Year's eve we were grooving in Mumbai. And here we were, the same group, some of who work in Mumbai and hail from Delhi, and some of us who used to work in mumbai, and hail from Goa and Pune, all sipping mojitos on a patio in Delhi, where the giant floor fans emit sprays of water, to beat the heat.

How time flies.
