In India people actually try to act moral police all the time since most of the people are jobless. Moreover in south or rather in cities growing fast the people feel that the city will be robbed of it's original culture and somehow the outsiders will bring in their culture. This is the reason why they change the names of the cities Bombay to Mumbai, Madras to Chennai and now Bangalore to Bengaluroo without even thinking how costly the whole process is.

In his inability to bring in order, the guy just shuts the whole damn city out at 11.30.

Probably all the pubs and bar owners should read the blogs and make this an active ground.

Alternatively the pubs should open at 6:00 A.M as a sign of protest. If Jayalalitha is listening, open up Hosur. The event guys should organise a day light bash. It should draw all the call center crowd. have rock shows from sunrise to sun set. Print t-shirts with an inverted smiley. A Saddie. That says, "Mr. Police man, are you happy to see me sad?" etc.

Funny, innit?

We're still taught to discipline ourselves. This may sound Utopian, but to be a true Moral Police would be to let our own consciences work!

Like you said, you can never cut out the sleaze. Its a minority that screws up an entire picture.

I think this kind of control only encourages underhandedness.

Carlton!! I heard about all this shit in Namma Bengaluru, WTF?!
I'm embarrassed that the cop responsible for all this BS is a friend of my mum.
I was looking forward to spending Xmas at home, clubbing and all those silly things teenagers (or 20 yr olds) do, now to find that it's been banned. Woe is me!
Hope to hear from you soon!
How's Miss Matthew? Does she blog too?

It's a shame and a pity. Suddenly the city that I've lived in all my life, and loved, has turned into a Big Bad Wolf. Forget happily ever after, I just want a beer and a microphone. Before I kroak.

Hi Carlton,
Stumbled upon this piece. Thanks for articulating all our frustrations & bewilderments about this city's latest plunge into the dark ages in this one post.
I'm still coming to grips with this situation & constantly wonder if we, as the people, can do something to change this absurd big brother environment

That made good reading. And if its true , very sad state of affiars in the so-called "pub-capital". I am returning to bangalore tom'row after globetrotting all over this year. Hope things improve !! Looking forward to the "lost" bangalore anyway..
Luv,
Arjun (rings a bell ?anisha..sandip...lil cousin bro..hmm)
