Size zero models flirt with good-looking men. Businessmen - some with a belly large enough to match their bank balance - schmooze over a cigar and a stiff one. Conversation flows as fluidly as alcohol. It's a regular night at the VIP and VVIP tables. A necessity for most nightlife establishments - you can't make it to the 'It' list if you don't have a VIP section - these tables, which start at Rs 40, 000 at most clubs, come equipped with a chilled bottle of vodka, the ubiquitous Johnny Walker and a velvet rope. A personal bartender, usually a blonde hired by clubs to add to the oomph factor, makes sure that the glass never stays empty. The real fun, though, begins when someone orders the bubbly. Suddenly there'll a flurry of activity. A retinue of waiters hoisting champagne and sparklers will part the crowd, set perfectly to a fiery beat that the DJ has turned up on cue.
