Chappals not allowed in 5 star Discs in Mumbai

rofl.. (roll on the floor laughing).

So what is that all about? You cannot wear chappals in 5 star discos in Mumbai and the State Govt is setting up a committee to make sure that people do get to wear chappals in those 5 star hotels.

I still didn't quite get it.... ok if u get a designer chappal made by Rohit bal, or any such fashion super duper entity, and it goes very very well with ur dress, would you still be ok by not getting to wear it to the 5 star disc?

Or if u wear a torn out very ugly looking pair of canvas shoes (the PT ones) to a disc, should you be 'allowed' (as if what you wear should matter)?

At a conference here on 60 years of India's Independence, people were discussing that India has still not de-colonised. And thats what the govt representative interviewed by CNN IBN termed as 'angrezon ka hangover'. I think it is also about the lack of ingenuity on the part of the hotels having this self disparaging rule. Since these hotels and discs are only now beginning to be a part of the common man's daily life, these hotels haven't yet come to terms with the Indian customer, having copied the western way for style, rules, 'manners', etc..

I am sure all the hotel owners must have been very good cheaters in their school times...
