He was glad to show me more varieties. He then went on to tell me how he had started with nothing when he came from a small town in Gujarat. There was so much pride in his voice as he spoke about his factory in Goregaon where he employs only young girls and makes sure they get chai-naasta mid-morning and evening. May his tribe increase......Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-60699911094746128182015-10-05T12:06:15.691+05:302015-10-05T12:06:15.691+05:30Lovely pictures.

Before you hit VT, you will pass Crawford Market on the right. Everyone knows Crawford Market, so ask for it. Mangaldas Market is in the lane opposite Crawford Market. If you peep into that lane, you will see a white mosque at the end of the lane (Jama Masjid), that's how you know you're in the correct lane.Deepahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08076685280358127119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-45908443849751824162010-08-26T09:25:08.368+05:302010-08-26T09:25:08.368+05:30Where exactly is Mangaldas Market?

I came to Mumbai last year but no one in my family knew the exact location (after reading about it on your blog), so I missed it- we ventured near the tirupati temple in Mumbai, but I wish I had just asked you. Do you mind posting the address or directions for someone coming from Sion/Wadala?<br /><br />Thanks in advance!!Ananvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185662331082885558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-47266320723015838722010-08-25T23:58:04.644+05:302010-08-25T23:58:04.644+05:30hi..i am new to reading your blog. good to see som...hi..i am new to reading your blog. good to see someone constantly exploring ad doscovering newer things about Mumbai. i have been experiencing the same for the past three years and havent even reached quarter way i am sure. i had read the HT article too...but i guess its not for me..its for those who think they have seen and experienced it all..good work..feels nice to read your blogVivek Varghesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117568668857419663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-45987903648863886942010-08-25T21:16:42.982+05:302010-08-25T21:16:42.982+05:30This is so cool Deepa.
