Bars

Not all bars are the same. That happens in India or in Europe. But here, differences are astonishing. Either you get bars totally dedicated to tourists or you get bars totally dedicated for Indians. And the difference is well noticeable.

In an untouristic town as Bikaner, only an Indian bar was available. Women were allowed, but we could not see a single feminine spirit around. A dodgy place, with a security guard that looked more as a police officer, dim lights and full of locals drinking eating, drinking and smoking.

I've already talked about other bars, as the one in Rishikesh, or Carpe Diem at Mc Leod. This one, however, had nothing to do with them. While fun was almost assured in the other two, on this one no entertainment was available. Cheaper, and boring, thus more quieter. Everything seemed under control. So controlled that it closed at half past nine.

Definitely, not my choice of a bar.
