An Evening on the streets of Colaba..

Saturday 17th May 2008 was a remarkable day for my sis MSA! Reason - 1st so called "outing" in the whole of 2 months vaccation she is being "enjoying"!!! So we headed to do what girls are best known to have done, apart from crying & bitching (thankfully, we arnt best in any of them) SHOPPING!!!
Its like such a stress buster this "Shopping" thingy!!! Seriously!! We left home at about 4, and reached the place @ 6, after traveling like more than 30 kms, to this not so small street called "Colaba" rite behind Gate Way of India, Mumbai! So it all started with searching clothes for her and ended with buying loads of junk jewllery! The "search for the best" attitude makes it all the more exciting! & yea for 1se you can decide what u think is the rite price!!!

But more than all this, the whole street is full of firangs, trying to buy Souvenirs from India, cheap jewelley, the cafe LEO, a place where u apparently get the world's best Crispy chicken! The small roadside shops are really colourful & even if its really humid in Mumbai @ this time of the yr, its not so bad to spend like 3 yrs on that street!!! Its something about the place that makes you wanna come back!!! Its a strange mixed pot of culture and kind of people out there....

You walk like 1 street behind this place, you land up near hotel Taj Mahal and the Gateway Of India! Thtz 1 place you shouldnt be on a Saturday evening!! Its like any busy stn of Mumbai! But the only difference is, this time the run is not cause 2 earn their bread, but 2 getout of that run!!!

Cheers to the spirit of the City that never stops running !!!
