You can actually chat them up and offer them a yummy mocktail or two, if you have the guts. 

All my cousins and aunts from Delhi make it a point to shop at Linking road. Ten years ago there were no brand outlets, just the tiny shops, but mainly it was a huge ritual to haggle with vendors and buy stuff at ridiculously low prices. The brand outlets such as Adidas, Reebok, Nike, Benetton are a welcome relief. You can get some of the trendiest apparel here. Years ago there used to be Pink City and International News at the corner of Waterfield road, from where my mum would buy all my clothes. I remember owning a pair of torn, worn out jeans, some bright blue capris and a neon pink t-shirt that blew my friends off! Those shops are not there anymore, but in their place have come up a coffee shop and some eateries. Ready to have the time of your life, then head to Linking road.

It is impossible to find parking in Bandra. Most building residents are forced to park their cars on the road as buildings don’t have enough parking spots for all their residents. And if your heart leaps with delight if you perchance see an empty spot, be sure there will be a blue lollipop sign with a cross on it declaring NO PARKING…

I look with dismay whenever I see aluminum sheets surrounding a plot of land. Another new building!!! More residents moving in!!! More cars to be parked!!!  And so many families these days have more than one car..

New malls and swanky shops are coming up every day on Linking Road and Hill Road and all around this Queen of suburbs. For a casual shopper or a person dashing to the ATM of her bank, the chances are very high that you will be forced to double park and run the risk of your car being towed away by the ever vigilant traffic cops.

We already pay crores for a flat in Bandra. Why can builders not provide for basement parking? BMC should make it mandatory for the builders to provide at least one parking per flat in the building. Maybe BMC can also sell parking spots on the roads which do not have much vehicular traffic.

How can 4 malls come up on 33^rd road like Crystal Mall and Link Mall and have no basement parking? Can we have a public parking lot near Linking Road and Hill Road and Pali Naka?
