We have been unusually social creatures of late. Hot on the heels of our meet up with US bloggers last week, last night Anjali and I went for a drink with our London-based Metrotwin Mumbai bloggers.

It was a great night for many reasons – much merriment was had, we came up with loads of ideas for Metrotwin’s lovely little sister site (check it out, if you haven’t before – as well as more ideas for cool things to do in London, you can read about a Mumbai you won’t find in the guidebooks) and I learnt lots of great Indian slang and impressed everyone by knowing the Hindi for ‘lemon’*.

Another reason it was such a cool night, was because of the venue we went to. I’m almost disinclined to mention it as it is such a well hidden little gem, but so long as you don’t tell the riff-raff… GO to Trisha’s Bar. It’s incredibly hard to find (it also masquerades as ‘Evaristo Club’), but this tiny little memorabilia strewn subterranean drinking den feels like a different world to the Soho streets that run above it. Oh, and during happy hour, glasses of wine and bottles of beer are £2! An utterly fantastic find.
