After all, the cool people reside in Andheri :-)<BR/><BR/>RS. As a Gujarati (I hate the (ab)use of the extra H) married to a Tamilian, my sympathies lie with you. But hey, might be easier if you just end up learning Gujarati :-)<BR/><BR/>Chennai or for that matter any nai cannot come close to Mumbai as the rocking docking all-encompassing all-devouring all-empowering capital city. Alright, a little high on the 'high'perbole, but kya karen?

I had a craving to see a tamil movie when in Mumbai. But when I considered the fact that I had to travel from Nariman point to Matunga and set aside some 7 hours exclusively for this, I decided to just be happy at home..:(<BR/>But I like the markets and shopping in Mumbai..:)The Doodlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02918716290391569295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141837977676546462006-03-08T12:12:00.000-05:002006-03-08T12:12:00.000-05:00Reading the post is like reading excerpts from Bom...Reading the post is like reading excerpts from Bombayil Reception, a la Washingtonil Thirumanam :)Hellboyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16206178917576842172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141835060424590062006-03-08T11:24:00.000-05:002006-03-08T11:24:00.000-05:00Yes, Aarti I agree Town side is much cooler, I sho...Yes, Aarti I agree Town side is much cooler, I should know I lived opposite Jai Hind for a long time.<BR/><BR/>Also, I took ramya in Western Railway to show her the "Real Bombay". How people live, Day in and Day out. Just an experiment, it was fun, since it was not peak hours :)<BR/><BR/>And the jasmine business, I just need to find a flower shop in Parle/Andheri that has this, it is not in my usual "things to do" list :) while I am there!kamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500212471802282914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141793252779234032006-03-07T23:47:00.000-05:002006-03-07T23:47:00.000-05:00hmm...looks like u've ruffled a few mumbaiya feath...hmm...looks like u've ruffled a few mumbaiya feathers...pls respond with a post in ur usual rosy style about the gateway and queen's necklace and all that.<BR/>ya andheri west is cool, andheri east is under construction (i hope)...<BR/>- LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141787435214311082006-03-07T22:10:00.000-05:002006-03-07T22:10:00.000-05:00Man, oh man, Ramya...you've opened a can of worms....Man, oh man, Ramya...you've opened a can of worms. However, blog-etiquette dictates that I will pick my top three things to respond to, as a true-blue Bambaya girl:<BR/>1.Yes Kamal,I agree. "Gujarati", "Aarti", etc. No H, please! (If u're looking for something serious to do, correct my name in the side bar!)<BR/>2.Andheri West might be cool, but town (VT, Colaba,Churchgate, Marine Drive) KICKS ASS! Next time you're in Bombay my girl, take me with you, and I'll show you what the city is made of! (My sympathies with you for traveling on Western railway though!That takes courage!)<BR/>3. There is plenty of malli poo in my city, how dare you imply that there isn't! For the Tamilian-centric perspective of Bombay visit Matunga or Chembur next time. My friend from Juhu who'd visit me in Chembur would be so amazed that all she'd hear on the streets in Chembur was Palghat Iyer accents!<BR/>Ok, sorry for seeming all indignant and rude, but I am defending my city with a lone Kamal...I'm afraid most of your readers are from Chennai!RTD2https://www.blogger.com/profile/07710784540684786379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-1141773074588650502006-03-07T18:11:00.000-05:002006-03-07T18:11:00.000-05:001.

So, serious issues consists of hole in a taxi, jasmine flowers, k’s relatives, speaking gujarati (not Gujarathi .. for the nth time!:) ), curd rice and commuting in mumbai, Quite Interesting ! :)<BR/><BR/>2. Come on now, just own up to it, you had the time of your life. Didn’t you?<BR/> (I already hear some smart alec retort)<BR/><BR/>3. btw, I had already seen Singara Chennai before you saw bambai meri jaan :) <BR/><BR/>4. One more thing, Andheri, West is cool! East sucks! (This is like India vs Pakistan, Lexington vs Louisville in basketball)<BR/><BR/>5. Did you forget the gateway of India, the queen necklace, siddhi-vinayak, the scene from top of Hilton Towers(Oberoi for the native)? How could you?! How could you?! You break my heart! :))kamalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500212471802282914noreply@blogger.com
