The lads have gone back to UK and I'm on my lonesome or am I

Well here I am on my own at the hotel, let me start the blog by introducing you to the unsung heros of Mumbai, Naseem on the left and Sandesh on the right, without these guys we would never have got to work and home safely as well as taking us clubbing and back. Respect to you guys, we in the UK love you all for what you've done for us. That goes for Ram and Vechand, who's pictures I dont have

This guy gave an extra twirl to his moustache for this pose, without him, who would open the door for me with class?

Its Saturday afternoon 2/8/08 and I've been out shopping at Bandra. Heres me and Sandesh stopping off at a resturant which is famous for Pau Bhaji and from the taste of it, I can see why it was top notch place.

After shopping, I rang Nishit and I joined him at a wine bar

Here we are, me and Nishit enjoying wine at a wine bar and yes even my glass is sparkling, whats in it?

Heres another shot of us

Let me introduce you to the Sherbunator, how can I describe him? Well think of Chai, then think of him smoking, drinking alcohol eating meat and probably having more than one girlfriend (I aint asked him but he probably has) then think of him being completely off his trolly, thats the best way of describing the sherbunator.

And this is the three of us, getting leggless on wine

And yes those muscles are building up, not by much though!!!!!!!!

Yes we are looking hard, no one can touch us.

After swilling wine its off to Hard Rock (or Harden Rock as our taxi driver calls it) where we are joined by another one of Nishits mates Ram, the night just gets better.

Note the is is womenless night, all lads having fun. Thats the way it should be.

Who says you need women to have fun?

Heres me and Ram looking sensible, which means we ain't had enough to drink.

Heres a mean looking Sherbanator, out to kill

Now you can tell Nishit and I have had a few to drink.

Thats what we look like from below

My manager Nishit on the left, what a top example he is giving to people like me, anyone who doesn't like it, well you can tell what my response is.

Me and Ram with the camera from low down

Thats the Sherbunator's idea

Fun times are here, those guys who went back to the UK, are you jealous?????????

And good times are here to stay

God knows who that China man is, but the Sherbanator doesn't give a shit

Thats Ram holding Nishit's arm back

Were rocking to some music, the wines getting to me now.

Nishit seems to love this pillar

Yea man go for it

Who says we have to be sensible with the boss, you tell em Ram

That Kingfisher didn't last long and thats our Saturday night killed, next its Sunday.

Yes its Sunday morning 3/8/2008, and we are on a city tour arranged by Sekina, first stop is Dhobi Ghat, in India, Industrial washing machines don't exist, Dhobi Gats does

2nd stop Mahatma Ghandi's house, this is one of his rooms

An ariel view of Chapatti beach

Mumbai central railway station, yes it has Victorian look to it.

Sakina at Hanging gardens, nice place to hang out eh.

The end.

Nelly's birthday at Hard Rock and the lads finale harar

Its 31/8/08 and its Nelly's birthday, it started at work where we sang hapy birthday and the transfers team sang the Indian version of happy birthday, Nellys face was a site for sore eyes especially when he got the traditional cake in his face from Jamie. In the evening, it was off to Hard Rock where a live band was playing

The tunes they were singing were were well appreciated

This time, we were joined by Lin and Manisha who had never been to Hard Rock, Jamie has the responsibility of looking after the girls, a job he does well.

Danny just cant get enough of Kingfisher bottles

This is the guy who sings the rock tunes

Is that a chip Manisha's about to put into her mouth??

Just for tonight, Jamie works for FHM magazine and he wants to review Mumbai clubs, well thats what he said to the chap outside as there was a huge queue when we got there, had it not of been for his wit, we would not have got in.

Stone Cold looking with red eyes and the birthday boy is well and truely glazed.

Respect to you Jamie, you got us in and cheated the queue.

Thought I'd try a different pose with the girls

Well this is the last photo of Hard Rock and Nelly's birthday and boy what a birthday he has had. Happy birthday mate, now get ready for your final night out.

Its Friday 01/08/08 and the lads final day before they fly out in the early hours of 4.00am Saturday morning.
We've come to Hawain Shack, its suppose to be a happening place. You'll see from this blog if it is the case. Heres Gary Dexter with his girlfriend

and again

You can just make out one of Stone Cold's red eye peering out from Nelly's neck

You may be pointinng at me Chai but Nelly wants your ear badly

Some very concerned looks here.

A word or a kiss in your ear Depak!!!!!!

You will see from this shot that Hawain shack is most definately a happening place, no traditional Indians here and the place is rammed

YMCA

Chai has got to answer a few questions, why did'nt he tell us about this place.

Come on Chai answer, you know Hawain Shack is suppose to be the place to go, why did you not mention this place?

Thats the dumbest face you've pulled bagpus

Well say goodbye, were comming to the end now and all good things have to end.
The good thing is I pulled them out 15 mins early so that we could all pop round the corner to Toto's which is Nishits Friday night hang out place.

Heres the guys following me to meet Nishit at Toto's

There they are, one last group photo before you fly out. Nishit, these guys love Mumbai and they've had a blast.

Heres the final shot of the guys leaving for the airport.

Have a good trip guys and I'll see you back in the UK, except Danny who I will see in Mumbai in 2 weeks time.
