Lokhandwala is a place to be if you want to simply have an amazing time without stressing your pocket. A must go place for Bargain Hunters. Me and my colleague left office a little early so we could kick-start the weekend in a great way. We took metro to avoid the traffic and to reach fast. As we reached my eyes could not stop at one place. From accessories, to export surplus stores to salons to finger licking food, this place had everything.  Since I had so much to choose from I thought let me just plan it one by one  1st Shop for tops, blouses and t-shirts.  Then match accessories to them Eat a little so I get some energy to shop again Visit a Salon for a hair spa to relax and rejuvenate  End the day with something sweet 1st Shop for tops, blouses and t-shirts.  Bargin bargin as much as you can and bag the deal.  The local stores have amazing tops,  tunics, pajama, shorts and much more starting from INR 350 to INR 750 We brou...

Mumbaikars in Monsoon !!

If you have lived in Mumbai, survived through its rains, it's traffic and its jam packed trains/buses you can simply do anything in this world. Believe me anything in the world !! The next time you take an interview surely ask this question & put the candidate in a situation to answer "What will you do if you are stuck in traffic for 3 hrs to cover a distance of 4 kms ?” Based on his/er answer you will get to know his/er patience level, ability to work in a team, time management and zest to start again after a break down. One really needs have super powers to bear this craziness of this city. Be very cautious when you travel between 9.00 am to 11.00 am/ 6.00pm to 9.00pm specially from June to September. Suggest carry a patience pill which will help you fight against your anger, boredom, anxiety, joy and other emotions which shall start flowing with the heavy rains. Source : Google Y...

This dates 27  years back when I was 3 . My mom  used to take me every month to the local bania for our monthly groceries shopping.   I was allowed to choose snacks & biscuits of my choice . The “Little Me”used t o tell my mom to lift me and then point out from the other side of the counter  asking for “Parle G, Uncle Voh Parle G” U nlike today the only choice  of biscuits those days were  Monaco, G ood day & P arle - G. I hated Monaco as it  was salted , G ood day as it had cashews & my favorite was Parle -G. A lot of commercials which ran on Dhoordarshan said “ swadbhare shakti Bare Parle G” and the “Little me kept singing while eating them one by one. With the packets which came home the “ Li ttle  me ” made so many recipes in my play Kitchen. Par le G ki  roti by crushing  the biscuit  and making it's dough to lad oos   & chaklis for guests who came for Diwali. Everyone who played with us ...
