A couple of my friends and I went to Crawford market today. The place was so crowded that to in order to from one side of a 10 feet wide street to the other, we had to dodge traffic for nearly a minute. We were in the wholesale section of the bazaar. Crawford market is the best place in Mumbai that i have seen till date for huge shopping discounts. This place is full of narrow gulleys and winding roads. You will many people thronging the streets and shops, along with laborers pushing cartloads goods to be sold from the go-downs to the retail shops.
We were searching for good Christmas decorations and we weren't the least disappointed. There were so many articles multicolored streamers, santa clause caps, X'mas trees and a plethora of decorations with chiming bells and glittering stars. The prices quotes in these shops were nearly half of those quoted in shops in Miraroad.
We also went to Zaveri bazaar, where there are lines of shops selling exquisite jewellery made of beads, pearls, gold, diamonds and everything. I made a mental note to visit this place before my wedding :P
We then found our way to fashion street in Colaba. Bought some stuff really cheap from the streets. Street shopping is so much fun, especially with friends. Those who aren't from Mumbai shouldn't miss this if they get an opportunity to 'shop till u drop' :D
It's great to roam around in churchgate and colaba. The old colonial British buildings, the cobbled streets and the amazing shopping options make this place an excellent hangout. Five stars to the townside !!!

Oh Boy do i miss town!!! I stayed in town for more than 5 years: the whole of BE + 12th standard. Though the commute to Borivalli was taxing, every time i returned home, it really felt like i'm returning to someplace special. Just the old colonial sights and the better roads and wider spaces relaxed the mind. And i miss my huge house there, and the plays we used to go to, the Kala Ghoda arts festival...i even miss mugging for exams in the balcony as it rained outside....
