 10 DOWNING STREET We are a group of women and in those days of yore, when going out was easy, would get together at least  once a month for lunch and normally meet at 10 Downing Street, that pub of Hyderabad, with the same name as that of the official residence of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom but obviously so much different. With wooden interiors, heavy furniture with leatherette covering, it had and has an island of a bar, where one has spent quite the number of evenings.  When it was first inaugurated in Hyderabad, it was the place to be seen in every Saturday night. With a small dance room and David Masilaamani, popularly known as Black Jack, at the DJ Console, it would turn magical while we danced, sweated and drank the evening away. I do not have too much of a memory of how Murali and I returned home. But we were back home each time, blind drunk and a guaranteed hangover the next day, but come the next Saturday and we were ready to visit the place again....
