But, what I love are the bylanes cutting across Comm St. Here you'll find
* The most amazing colours in dupattas.
* Intricate colourful embroideries on salwar-kameez sets.
* Cut raw guava sold with salt & chilli powder ( slurp!)
* Giggling teeny-boppers checking out the latest street fashion.
* Steaming sweet corn with chat-masala, pepper or plain..take your pick.
* Ladies tailors stitching a salwar-kameez in 1 hour.
* Rows & rows of sticker bindis.
* Mothers shopping with whining children in tow. (Sometimes it is me & Mallika;-))
* Desi sweet & chat shops selling yum dahi puris, golgappas- my fav, doklas, samosas, jalebis....

Street shopping is the best! Reminds me of Linking Rd in Bandra & Fashion Street. Must go. Havent done this in a long time..
Great Post..After seeing all the pics it did take me down the memory lane.. I havent done this in a long time.. But one genuine question.. when you see all this on a regular basis does it still inspire you to go and shop??

It's been 8years since I stepped in Commercial Street..I loved the shopping then - it was during ramadhan and mostly all things were on sale! I am planning a visit this year if possible.

December and january and will
look out for this:)

vinita- Yes, you are right...on a regular basis maybe not...but if you do it in abt a month..you get see new interesting things:-))
pacchai- Sweet Chariot is so popular with mothers for the birthday cakes...every birthday you'll find a Sweet Chariot cake ;-))(including Mallika's)
