It's a steal on the street!!!

Oh My Gosh! 1500 Rs. just for a top...
Probably all of us react like this when we look at the in exorbitant prices of anything and everything. Wherever we go, whatever we buy we always land up spending around two to three grands may it be clothes, footwears or bags.

But trust me life’s not as bad as we make it look like. The other day I was just loafing around at Bandra Hill road and I found this shop which sells hot footwear ranging from 100 to 400 Rs. Peep toes, Wedge heels, Stilletoes, ballet shoes, tie ups, chappals… you name it and they have it. The shop is right opposite Globus in a small lane. Go out there and grace your feet by buying some extraordinary stuff at cheap prices. Walk ahead and you’ll find piles and piles of tops at a distance of every 2 feet. Dig in and you‘ll really surprise yourself when you find international brand labels. Ask the guy ‘Kitne ka Bhaiya’, & he’ll say ‘100 Rs, Madam.’ Walk ahead and you‘ll find a stall which sells the same chunky bangles you saw on your colleagues hands the other day. Pick up whichever you like but don’t pay him more than 35- 40 for each bangle.

Move ahead and at the little corner you’ll find all sorts of shirts hanging from this huge tree. Please stop there and buy atleast 2 shirts. It’s going to be worth it. No one in the world can remotely even figure how much you paid for these shirts, 100 Rs. again.

I had to visit Bandra Linking road after my exciting expedition to Hill Road. I ignored the stores and headed straight to street shops. There were a couple of shops selling the usual tops and kurtis. But what laid ahead was a whole row of shoe stalls which lured the passers by. It was a complete shoe world, selling all kinds of pairs; black & white, blue & pink, red & green, orange & yellow, gold & silver. Trust me, you can't help but gaze and eventually buy. Cross those never ending shoe shops, and find tops, skirts, harem pants, T Backs, accessories on sale. Take a peek into these stalls, you never know what you find. And then just as you spot KFC, stop and enter that lane just to discover a fortune of belts. Have a look and I assure you, you ‘ll atleast buy one.

As i discovered the potential of Bandra street shopping. I decided to visit Colaba Causeway, rightly known as the second heaven for street shoppers. Just Stand at Café Mondegar and look straight ahead, you’ll only spot bags, beads, belts and clothes offcourse. Look left, look right and you don’t what you might lay your hands on. Beads, Chunky bangles, long beaded necklaces, earrings,danglers, hoops, studs, kurtis, tops, skirts, harem pants, football jerseys, shorts, scarves, shawls, chappals, tie ups, varieties of pretty looking ethnic kolhapuris, crocs, sunglasses, spectacles, jholas, formal bags, big bags, purses, clutches, wallets, belts.. big ones and small ones, phew… the list is endless.

And all this costing only between the range of 100 – 500 Rs.


Cover the whole stretch of causeway upto the petrol pump and I’m sure you’ll have bags full of exquisite stuff on your way back.
