YACHT

What Sachin Tendulkar is to cricket, Parties are to student life! And when you’re an MBA student, there’s a lot more to these parties than just a pizza from Dominos. You have seen your entire life between liquor and business law if you’re from a B-school. This life, it’s not within the confinement of your campus, it’s just outside it, someplace nearby. A place where you are almost certain to find a familiar face. Because you’re not the only one from your B-school that has discovered this cheap, happening hole where you can immerse your sorrows, drink your issues and dance to a happy place. Yes, I’m talking about that desi bar which is shady but not shady enough, so you and your mates can party there! Quite honestly, people can afford the BSEs and the Agent Jacks while studying at a B-school. But, there are so many tragedies in life and so many occasions to celebrate, you would rather trade your stocks at a local bar. I don’t know, how, and I don’t remember who did... but we had discovered our America in one of the bylanes of Bandra, a tiny place called Yacht!

What do you do when you are suffering from episodes of a quarter-life crisis? Simple, you grab your buddies, set sail to Yacht, and call for a quarter. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind. But for us inexperienced sailors, when the waters started to look unfamiliar and thrashed our ships a little too hard, the only logical thing to do was to sink deep in a bottle full of Pride than to dwell in an ocean of uncertainty.

Appearances can be deceptive. From afar, the entire aura around Yacht gives it a shady feeling. A small door on the corner of a street. It gives you a feeling of the Leaky Cauldron, the pub in Harry Potter that leads you to Diagon Alley. But much like the Leaky Cauldron, even this little place in Bandra has the ability to lead you into a magical world. Once you enter, it appears like a maze. The place is larger than you assume it to be. Multiple doors, multiple arrangements. And like Harry discovered the world of magic as he stepped inside Diagon Alley, you’ll start unravelling little magical pieces of life with your friends in tow. I know I did.
