Let’s talk a bit about India. India isn’t good at bars. Every fucking bar I went to in Bangalore (which they call pubs exclusively) was loud, dark, and made me unhappy the entire time. They played loud, angry rock, and I would often have young India men who couldn’t handle their alcohol falling on me.
British pubs have a very strong social purpose. Canadian bars and coffee shops have clear roles. (There are, like, Starbucks in Britain, which are similar to Canada, but they are less common than pubs, which is a good thing). The purpose of these wonderful places is to socialize outside of your home, and meet future mates.
This is an excellent point. I don't really care about alcohol. But with the changing scene with respect to dating and marriage, I'd love to see our own Indian version of a socializing setting to come up. We need more fun and safe places to hang out at.
