This means dance bars with valid licenses can soon resume operations.</p>
<p>Who says Kanoon is Andha!!<br />
I think Night life for millions will be back in Bombay!!!<br />
and yes Congress will win BMC elections next year!! </p>
<p>For those who dunno what Ladies Bars are check out <a href="http://www.nightlover.net/">http://www.nightlover.net/</a><br />
The only ladies bar which has an ATM in its premises and has Video of the BEst Dances online..</p>
<p>The Ladies Bars are the primary  the reason why Bombay is different  from rest of India&#8230;. A totally filmy world within itself.. you have to be there to see the absolutly filmigiri&#8230;<br />
As for me Filmy and Proud of it !!<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last week Peter Hitchens from the Daily Mail, London had written to me in connection to a story he was doing on BBC&#8217;s decision to rename Bombay to Mumbai and the renaming of the cities worldwide . He asked me whether Bombay was still called Bombay or is it Mumbai. We exchanged a few mails on the confusion.<br />
The final result &#8211; His article in The  Mail on Sunday column on Sunday.</p>
<p>The  Daily mail is a paid site so here&#8217;s Peter&#8217;s <a href="www.dailymail.co.uk/.../columnists.html?in_ article_id=381070&amp;in_page_id=1772&amp;in_author_id=224">Article</a></p>
<p>IRRITATED by the way most of the media have taken to referring to Bombay as</p>
<p>&#8216;Mumbai&#8217; during the recent Test match, I did some research.</p>
<p> Supporters of this move are mostly making fools of themselves. The politically correct might like to know that many people in Bombay refuse to</p>
<p>use the new name. The local High Court and stock exchange still bear the name &#8216;Bombay&#8217;.</p>
<p>  And the move to get rid of the 400-year-old (Portuguese) name came from Hindu nationalists, whom the BBC would certainly describe as &#8216;Rightwing&#8217; if it knew anything about them, which I suspect it doesn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>  We could avoid all this if we just called famous cities and countries by the names we have used for years. Since I don&#8217;t call Prague &#8216;Praha&#8217;, Warsaw Warszawa&#8217; or Paris &#8216;Paree&#8217;, I don&#8217;t see why I should have to call Peking &#8216;Beijing&#8217;.</p>
<p>   In a way it&#8217;s a compliment to them that we have an English name for them. I don&#8217;t object if Italians call London &#8216;Londra&#8217;. The BBC doesn&#8217;t call Burma &#8216;Myanmar&#8217;, or Rangoon &#8216;Yangon&#8217;. Nor does it call Dublin &#8216;Baile Atha Cliath&#8217;, its official name since 1922.</p>
<p>   By the way, if &#8216;Bombay&#8217; is &#8216;Mumbai&#8217; then oughtn&#8217;t they to call India &#8216;Bharata&#8217;? And did you know that Croatia is really Hrvatska?</p>
<p>Peter&#8217;s <a href="http://hitchensblog.mailonsunday.co.uk">Blog</a><br />
<a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Hitchens">Bio</a></p>

<p>After Annapurna, the two are planning to keep their passion for film making alive. &#8220;Our next venture would be a comedy film titled Dhanbad Mafia Vs New York Mafia, where a dacoit&#8217;s son from Dhanbad goes to New York and falls in love with a mafia man&#8217;s daughter in New York.&#8221;</p>
<p>I would surely have a dekko at these both movies, all the best guys in your venture.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is really good news for the city starved of real estate, being an island city there is only one way the city can grow and that&#8217;s vertical. Though the FSI of 4 is peanuts compared to the FSI of Dubai or NY who have FSI of 35-40, this is definitely a good beginning.</p>
<p>If I was the CM I would rebuild the entire Marine Drive with skyscrapers of 100 floors each and change office timings from 7 to 3pm to reduce crowd during peak hours.</p>
<p>DNA has the story here<br />
<a href="http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1012915">http://www.dnaindia.com/report.asp?NewsID=1012915</a></p>
<p>The decision though taken 2 years after it was first recommended by then CM&#8217;s Task force&#8217;s report on its Vision 2013  &#8220;Transforming Mumbai into a World Class city&#8221;</p>
<p>Read the comprehensive report : <a href="http://www.maharashtra.gov.in/english/reports/taskforce.pdf">www.maharashtra.gov.in/english/reports/taskforce.pdf</a> </p>
<p>FSI &#8211; The ratio of the total floor area of a building or buildings to the gross area of the lot on which the building or buildings are located. For example, a floor space index (FSI) of 2.0 would indicate that the total floor area of a building could be up to 2 times the gross area of the lot on which it is located.</p>

<p>My favorite logo would still be the Red BEST Bus and people from all walks of life just hanging on wid their lives. </p>
<p>But these logos are cool too but I would have preferred it in 2 version Bombay &amp; Mumbai like we have India &amp; Bharat, no confusion just matter of choice or political affiliations.</p>
<p>Looking forward to wearing a Bombay/Mumbai Banian &amp; Topi</p>
