AWESOME. Man, Mumbai looks so freakin dope. I want to visit asap… better get that room secured manny fresh.
what i love about your pics of mumbai is that we get to see your sense of humour. loving seeing it through your eyes. missing mumbai mad yo.
keep the pics and captions coming - love it! and missing mumbai like mad too! horn please… ha ha ha…
for the finest in homeys.. haha.. i get it now. interestingly i notice this the last time i visited india, Ganesh is a very very friendly god - as in he is very open to artistic representation - and all artists i’ve seen have a loving take on him.
btw- anyone know what that roadsign stands for - that’s quite unique, a red slash through a blue background.
oh… is Bahar manzil - The Spring Destination located on mutton street … that goat sure was destined for someplace else… probably to meet some goat-houries.. and was peeing in excitement.
It means “No Parking”.
Here’s a handy guide for you..desi raod signs
Manish: Can you add a preview feature (for comments) ?

Great post, I did a couple of photo posts on Chor Bazaar a while back - Entrepreneurial Enchantment & The Byculla Soufflé
Great stuff. Gosh ! you have so much time.
Chor Bizarre is the name of a Kashmiri restaurant with two branches, one in London and another in Delhi.
So the pun has not only been done, it’s corporate ;)
You caught the reference :)
Vij, project for you: crop the Homi Traders sign, so it’s just the shop banner, add your comment beneath that, and print it on a t-shirt. I’ll SO wear that to teach!
Jhakaas Bole to AMCHI MUMBAI is AWESOME!
