 Shops at Elephenta caves by radz
This pic is roadside shop at Elephenta caves.But it may seem roadside,
although there presence is irrating when you goto caves,they have small things such as
Souvenires ,pics,few crafted items too.
Price is ok not very high.I saw people comming down carrying bags with
full of things from this shops.
Its not very costely,and you wont get anywhere in MUMBAI like this.

A real paradise for book lovers!!! The streets of Mumbai have some of the latest as well as oldest books available for almost next to nothing sometimes or at almost one tenth the prices of new editions!!! Some may be slightly shop soiled copies or may even be brand new, sometimes they are second hand books but mainly in very good condition!!! Whatever the case may be you will get a good bargain for the prices you pay!!! You do have to haggle a bit or else they will rip you off!!! Try to bring down the prices from what they ask by atleast 50% and expect to pay about 60% to 70% (maximum) of the prices quoted by them!!! Don't go by the orginal price of the book!!! Look for the code price that they have written in ink on the top left hand corner of the last page inside the cover. Make a rough calculation from that price and reduce it to about 50% and then play along in the bargaining game till you get the price you want!!! And show that you are not really interested in buying that particular book or else if they think you desperately need it then they will never come down on the prices!!! Walk away and then they will call you again till you finalise the deal!!! Make sure it is in your favour though!!! HAHAHA!!!
Happy book buying at prices that will sweep you off the streets literally!!! HAHAHA!!!
You can get the latest and the oldest books in good condition and down to earth prices so just ask what you want and though they may not be able to speak english well, they will understand exactly what you want if you write it down for them and they will tell you if it is available or not or even if they can procure it for you at a later date!!! You just have to ask!!!
Caution: Sometimes they have bestsellers at prices of less than a dollar each but they could be pirated copies which you can easily make out and I would not recommend buying them!!!
From as little as Rs 5 for a Time or Newsweek magazine to Rs75 for the latest National Geographic Magazine!!! Or as little as Rs10 for some old books to about Rs1000 for some coffee table books that cost more than Rs3000 in the bookshops!!!

 a cobbler by pollonLeave a Comment Theme: Other

My eyes are always attracted by small glittering things, so much so that friends have suggested I must have been a magpie in a former life! Fortunately for the bangle sellers, if this is the case, the magpie's tendency to take things without paying did not carry over too!
We found a lot of street stalls in the area around Santa Cruz station, which seemed to be rather less expensive than some of the shops where we also saw bangles for sale. The stalls looked very tempting with rows and rows of bangles, hung as they would sit on an arm, across the top and boxes of different sized ones underneath. I felt I'd really like to take the whole stand home and install it in the corner of my bedroom but due to limited suitcase space, I limited myself to four boxes and these unfortunately were very popular with my friends, when I returned home!
The biggest advantage of buying the bangles in India, apart perhaps from the price, was the availability of different sizes in each style to make sure they sit properly on the wrists rather than falling over the hand, as opposed to buying them in the U.K. where one large size is supposed to fit all wrists and of course doesn't, so do try them on before buying.
In addition to the bangles, we found plenty of other things we liked at nearby stalls and also bought cotton fabrics and cosmetics in the area. Leave a Comment Theme: JewelryAddress: Around Santa Cruz Station

 book shelf by wrldtravler
Hardcover Classics are a steal.
Whereas anywhere else in the world you'd pay upwards of $20 for a copy of Moby Dick, expect to pay no more than $8, and the quality is just as good if not better. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: Dhannur, Sir P.M Road, Fort, Bombay 01Phone: 91-22-22661719/22661994/22614613

 BARGAINING WITH STREET VENDORS by Amitu
For shirts, tee-shirts and wonderful cotton clothes for children at rock-bottom prices, visit “Fashion Street”, a street market opposite one of Mumbai’s exclusive clubs, the Gymkhana, known to everyone as the Mumbai Gymkhana. Bargain very hard: with any luck you can reduce the “For you, madam, a special price, Rs. 90/-“ down to Rs. 25/-.” Leave a Comment Theme: Other

All kinds of clothes,kitsch,baubles and rinkets.Spend time lolling along the streets picking up beaded bags for less, the hottest clothes (again for less!) and whatnot..Make sure you check quality, and bargain! Do NOT expect these clothes to last years!!
