Pancham Puriwala: Review: Restraunt in South Mumbai
Had heard a lot about this restraunt - Pancham Puriwala
Location: opposite to VT (CST) station
Best: (Its obvious but...) Puri
My son and me went to Pancham Puriwala. The shop serves fresh hot Puri's made right in front of you with Aloo and Dal/Channa. They also serve Methi puris and Batura's.
The person makes it right in front of you and you only get 2~3 varieties of Subji with it. With its limited menu, hole-in-the-wall kindof rustic ambience, it still serves great food. [incidentally a plate is a small 5 puris and channa/aloo]
They dont serve any soft drinks , but they do serve very nice , thick lassi!
Many families came for Brunch on the Sunday we were there. The pic you see above is ALL of the restraunt that has about 5 cramped tables in a open corner shop. So don't expect AC and Ambience! but just great Puri's

Is this Mumbai? A photo walk in "Walk"eshwar - Walkeshwar , Mumbai, Banganga Tank, Part 2
Is this Mumbai?
Every visit to Mumbai reveals a new thing atleast for me. I find Mumbai and London to be 2 cities that have a story in every turn. Here are some pictures which I took, which don't look like the Mumbai we have in mind.

Long back I had seen a collection of photos of South Mumbai 
that mentioned Banganga Tank, Walkeshwar in the ever busy south Bombay. After 15 years of seeing the coffee table book (from HSBC I think), I finally made it to see it in real life.
Route: VT station (by train), Taxi via Marine Drive to Walkeshwar
Here are some pictures I took,
A shave on the gully on a lazy sunday morning by a Barber - A steep climb down and up the Banganga tank in Walkeshwar (#IsThisMumbai) - A
Ducks at the Banganga tank (#IsThisMumbai)
Cows at Walkeshwar temple
Clothes being dried on the steps

Mylapore Tank Float Festival 2011 - Theppam - Part 1
Mylapore Tank Float Festival 2011 - Theppam (Kapaleeswar Temple) - Part 1
The Mylapore Tank outside Kapali festival hosts the float festival (Theppam or Teppam in Tamil) in January every year.
Its usuually fun to go for this and the Aruvathi Moovar. This time it was on 21 Jan 2011 and we were there at 8 PM to see it in all glory.
I find that over 30 years, somethings have changed - The mamas and mamis come from Cognizant, Infosys, or some BPO versus TVS, Ashok Leyland or Amalgamations. The lights are neon lights versus dull serial lights or oil lamps / petro max lamps
But somethings haven't changed (luckily) - some mamis are still in Nine yards, families still bring the children for this slow moving entertainment, the flloat is still manually tugged and above all there is still a crowd for this.
See my next post for pictures

A trip to Auroville and the Matrimandir
A walk from the tourist reception centre to the matri mandir. Nice place for a picnic. Great food - organic and bland food.
