A little late, but here;s my worth.<br /><br />If I wish to sit with my close friends in a private place where I can listen my favourite loud music, drink my favourite alcohol, dance, and watch a live music performance - without disturbing anyone else.... and if someone is providing me with such a place where I can do the above..... then - respectfully - why is it anyone&#39;s (especially your)

As for reducing the crime rate, are we accepting that our law enforcement officers are no good they only can take bribes but not s can not be stricter and cops more proactive than to stop the citizens of &quot;independent, Democratic&quot; Indians to stop enjoying them selves and be the moralist since our government is week and cant take a strong stand on the people who violate the laws?

Dont all citizens in a democratic country have rights? In the same way I have my rights to party as in the same way i have my rights to sleep peacefully.. sadly we have come to a situation where the government decides what is right and wrong for me, and i am forced to do it.<BR/><BR/>In almost all of Europe there is no deadline as this.. but they are living with it. Simple solution: concentrate

The ban is just overhyped by media its not that a big deal, ppl still party the point is how does it matter when u enter a pub at 9 and have to leave at 11:15 u r not even high to get crazy over live bands. The point is when did the protest happen??!, i do not care for party life if i want to have it i get together with friends and enjoy by playing music. Just a media hype, media should

@ Laddoo<BR/><BR/>If the music ban is only after 11.30 Pm then there shouldn't be any concern from anyone. but I guess the ban is applicable 24x7.<BR/><BR/>yes, police have their own set of problems and hope to reduce their workload by bans like this, but will it have desired effect? remains to be seen.

Being a Bangalorean, I'm tempted to comment on this topic! I'm indifferent to this ban and found that there are similar ones like me from the previous comments!<BR/>My view is that the problem occurs because of pubs/restaurants that misuse the term 'live music' and indulge in other banned activities. If only our policing system was effective, it might have been easier to nab the convicts without

@ Hari, <BR/><BR/>Yes. there is no fundamental right to drink...<BR/><BR/>But i hope most of the places have enough aucostics in place to ensure that loud music doesn't escape outside the walls of the building (not sure, but hoping)<BR/><BR/><BR/>@ Mohan<BR/>OK...well said<BR/><BR/>@Siva<BR/><BR/>Thanks

I too am indifferent about this whole issue. Any where in the world there will always be wide variety of people whom we can categorize into different slots, good or evil, happy or sad, drinkers and teetotalers. So any action will have some people who support it and some who don&#39;t. <BR/><BR/>I agree with you on banning alcohol completely or at least making access to it a little difficult. I

It all boils down to an individuals life style. All have equal rights to say Yes and No to such a move, but the question remains in this democratic world is who has a better backing to amend the law.<BR/><BR/>It is also know that people below 18 are not allowed inside a bar. When that is the law, why not the rest hang out as long as they want and drink throat full? We have good number of acts to

I know this has nothing to do with the actual ban on live performance.<BR/><BR/>But let's not forget one thing:<BR/><BR/>There's no fundamental right for people to get drunk, dance to loud, disturbing music late at night and make a nuisance of themselves to the general public.<BR/><BR/>By all means allow people to enjoy themselves. Up to a point. But not beyond certain hours and not when the

@ Sahasi<BR/><BR/>Thanks<BR/><BR/>@ PTCBus:<BR/>I agree. I clearly stated the reasons quoted in support of the ban are not sounding logical enough...

1. What has singing to do with excessive consumption of alcohol? How do they conclude this? Who has done any study on this?<BR/><BR/>2. Tomorrow, another person will say that people who sing in bathroom tend to consume more water during their shower/bath, so we should ban that since there is a shortage of water in India. <BR/><BR/>you might find the second one to be ridiculous.

@ Rath,<BR/><BR/>I said near 100%. Have also said it is not fair to generalize. Yes, we can give examples and logical reasoning both supporting and opposing the ban- you can refer the post at Churumuri for nearly 100s of them...<BR/><BR/>I've emphasized the need for sticker law enforcement... What else can be done for a better society?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing your views

I cannot believe your assertion that all arguments against the ban are 100% true. Most people are passing these statements as absolute - and I am not sure they are fully aware of the reality. While I do not frequent pubs in recent times I am sure most people who come there are not out to hurt others. The few who do, will do anyways, even after drinking at home. Its odd to see people making pubs

@Nithya,<BR/><BR/>Welcome. That was your first comment in my blog.<BR/><BR/>I understand how it feels from your angle, however am not in a position to trigger an argument or defend/justify the ban.<BR/><BR/>I've written that the ban is unlikely to have its desired impact and also mentioned it is wrong to generalize.<BR/><BR/>I just wrote what I felt-I'll leave it for other readers to take this

Hi Srinidhi,<BR/><BR/>That's some detailed post :)<BR/><BR/>I am fan of hard rock and I tend to enjoy it better with shot of alcohol in my head. Wud love to get on to the dance floor too if there was one. But I don't misbehave or indulge in crime cos I love the above. I prefer live music bcos the energy is totally different there.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am a voracious reader and love to get my hands

Well written. Analysed.<BR/><BR/>I do agree with everything. All I have to say is why should we have live performances in bars n pubs? Sound is just sound, be it live or from a music system.<BR/><BR/>Here, I'm not supporting the ban neither am i firing at it, I'm indifferent at it. All I'm saying is, those who were singing at the pubs, shouldn't get affected by this ban if at all this was only to
