My parents wouldn't allow me to go to Chor Bazaar by myself. I've been there with my cousins and brother. Made many trips there and Lamington road when my brother and I built a computer in early 90s.

Well, well! Me too was an electronic hobbyist since my school days and have built many a project after picking up the components from Lamington Road. I too built my first computer in the early 90's and was among the first to take an internet connection from VSNL as soon as it was available.

Fascinating how the shops there keep evolving as the trends change.

Electronic components for DIY and electronic "kits' were a rage during the 70's. One of the most famous kit seller was Jetking which was just next to Lamington road police station. Built radios and amplifiers using their kits.

Later came the digital revolution and the Visha and Vega shops became famous for their stock of ICs.

Then came the VCR/DVD revolution when most of the shops converted to cater to spare parts for these products. When the DVD became obsolete the shops re-imerged as computer card sellers.

When the mobile boom arrived, these shops quickly became "Mobile spares" shops.

Today there are very few electronic component shops (Visha and Vega continue to cater to students for their projects) as most others cater to mobile and computer spares.

My brother had also made Jetking pocket transistor.

Although sion's GK is very famous, he has expanded his space three times in last few years there are apparently some hygiene issues inside as understood from close relatives staying there. Also gk's samosas in theaters were half-filled & half empty like lays chips packets. Now tiwari opposite Sion hospital is preferred by them for samosas & sweets.

exactly. My relatives from abroad when they visit here - they eat only cooked and hot / warm food. No salads , deserts. Eating outside is restricted only to trusted /quality restaurants of good repute.

Nobody here mentioned Gujarati thali; Rajdhani near Bhendi bazaar has some good veg Guju food and thali

Today my cousin went to office after say 2, 3 months. He was picked up and droped by the office car. But the experience he shared is beyond horrible.

He stays at kalyan and works at churni road. It takes him almost 3 hours to reach the office and almost same time to return to home in evening.

Buses and other private vehicles can never be a substitute to the mumbai trains.

Newspapers also carry articles regarding plight of central railway people who works at say CST, or Santacruz ..like that. Buses have very long que. मधले स्टॉप chya लोकांना बस मध्ये चढायला मिळताच नाहीये. Ani private vehicle wale per person 400 or 600 rs. Charge karat ahet to and fro.

एकंदर सगळाच कठीण दिसतंय.

I think soon a tough decision will have to be taken by Uddhav. Either go back to full lockdown or open up fully. This half lockdown will only create frustration and nor will the businesses really restart.
