		<title>Backpacking as a foreigner in India in the 90s</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When I was 19, in the 1990s I dated this English guy who had had been to India.
Up to that point I had travelled to Europe and the US, but had not been anywhere considered ‘exotic’.
Yet, on our dates, he used to keep me riveted with his tales of India, wandering around in a lungi, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ice bar and aphrodisiac food in Mumbai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mumbai nightlife is getting very exciting. I have always said the two best things about this city are the nightlife and Bollywood. And it is being proved true yet again.
This weekend India’s first ice bar opens up in Oshiwara, Andheri west, Mumbai, opposite the Mega Mall.
Called 21 Fahrenheit, the bar is kept at minus 6 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Reflecting countries and cultures and crossing cultures in movies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had the pleasure of seeing a couple of movies at the Mumbai Film Festival organised  by MAMI at the weekend.
Well, I say pleasure….in fact, one film was atrocious and the other was groundbreaking and amazing.
The atrocious film was Life Goes On by Sangeeta Dutta. This was this particular film’s world premiere and let’s hope [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is there such a thing as a “global” Indian man?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This has been worrying me for some time.
I want to know whether a truly global Indian man exists.
By that I mean a man who eats western food as much as he eats Indian food; in fact he would be happy to have a wife who cooks dishes likes Spaghetti Bolognaise or Thai green curry, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The documentary on the terror attacks you haven&#8217;t seen&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must let everyone know about a 48 minute documentary film called Terror in Mumbai, made by a British company Quicksilver for Dispatches, a Channel Four programme. Although it was screened on Channel Four in the UK, it has never been screened in India.
The videos were once on YouTube - now they have all been [...]]]></description>

		<title>The magic of a good party</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows the difference between a good and a bad party.
But few of us know how to make a party good - as a host. Now that it’s party time in Mumbai and the ‘season’ has begun, there are plenty of parties to attend. But how can we make sure the ones we hold  [...]]]></description>

		<title>From the Symphony Orchestra to the circus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I take back a comment I made on a previous blog stating Mumbai lacked high arts. There are some high arts in Mumbai, I have discovered, as I happened to go and see the Symphony Orchestra of India (SOI) perform. And what I saw was somewhat higher than I had imagined.
I went to see Beethoven’s [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Ugly Truth – and why I like it so much.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Everyone has been making fun of me because I keep claiming that the Ugly Truth is a cult movie and the best film all year – better than the Hangover.
I’ve seen it twice and think about it almost every day…
“The box office figures do not match up.”
“It’s not a cult movie,”
“I didn’t think it was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Having fun, getting entertained and getting pampered in masti Mumbai</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It has been an interesting few days on the nightlife front in Mumbai. Last week I attended an amateur bartending course at Il Terazzo, Juhu. This is a new night started by BestofBombay.com to teach people the art of cocktail making.
It was awesome. I wandered into find a room of tables, neatly laid out with [...]]]></description>

		<title>The 30 or 40 something single woman</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I was in the UK recently I came across a worrying genre of woman: the desperate woman in her 30s and 40s - the new Bridget Jones (BJ) – who has not yet met her soul mate.
Unlike in the actual film, when BJ was 33, the western BJ is now aged anywhere between 36 [...]]]></description>
