California Pizza, Infiniti Mall, Malad, Mumbai

the rhird visit to this mall in the last 2 days! after a late night event, my cousin Ashwin and I were looking for places to eat. and we stopped at Infiniti mall. it was way past 11 pm and we were sceptical of finding any good places to eat. the food courts were all closed , but we were thankful for California Pizza which was open, thanks to a few late customers who had not finished eating.

at first they told us that the kitchen was closed, then after requesting, they couldnt say no to 2 starving clients.

Jamuna Building Mumbai

Jamuna Building was where my father grew up when he was studying his Law in Mumbai, even back then he remembers the building to be made from wooden flooring and now the building would have been least 80 years old.

I visited the building for the very first time in November, 2014 and took few photos for my dad.

The Pune dairies - Day 7 - Bye Bye Pune, Hello Mumbai

finished our breakfast at Vohuman cafe and prepared ourselves for the nearly 3 hour drive from Pune to Mumbai. we again thank our friends Colin at The 3 Hungry Men for arranging cab services to pick us and drop us safely from Pune to Mumbai, Borivali.

somewhere along the highway, we stopped over to pick up ...wait for it... for CHIKKI and the driver knew exactly where to take us.
