Mumbai, the city of dreams, is now set to be the city that never sleeps, literally. The financial capital of India could soon become the first city in the country to be open 24×7.

Shiv Sena’s Yuva leader Aditya Thackeray’s proposal for nightlife in Mumbai has reportedly been accepted by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. This essentially means, pubs, eateries, malls and other entertainment joints are likely to be open throughout the night in special ‘nightlife zones’.

Mumbai has always been a restless city,  where night time turns into day and the streets are never empty. The shops may down their shutters, but they are never closed!

Irrespective of whether it becomes a party central or not, when the world sleeps Mumbai always awakes to life and freedom.

Here’s a look at Mumbai at the night.

The night rides for children

There are many residential colonies, especially in the town (south Mumbai) where you could let your children loose on the road, at night, while they enjoy their late night joy rides. Nariman point for one, has many such options.
