our hardware requirements

Such as dog chains, Nails, Sheets, Pulley for wells etc

TG Borkar (Est.1934) big que for new school books.

We gave the list to our mothers and they used to stay in

the Q for hours, whatever is not

available was not strike out on the list and the same was tried at Sambari
about 300 mtrs away

Pinpalkatta or Pimddakodde – Sorop, Makodd/Hetem show etc

Madgaum or Bombay Cafe for Tea Bhaji puri

Cloth merchants like MS Caro, Baboi, Palondicars,

Kurtarkar etc were popular with

‘Kazaro Rop’ wedding/bridal requirements. Their wall

calendars always displayed on our walls.

Little Sugancane juice centre next to Sambari, where we
had litre of fresh juice for Rs.2 (now 40).

Railway Station to go back home, sometimes to and from.

Carmelite Church I never knew it’s existence until I
attended someone’s wedding there.

Don’t know why my close neighbour chose this church when
We had churches close by.

And I still don’t know the difference between the two.

Cine Lata and Cine Vishant where we watched most movies
(Bollywood) and bought tickets in black most of the times ‘do kar chaar’ 
‘teen ka paanch’ or ‘ek ka do’

Meaning Rs.1.80 for  Rs.4, 3.20 for 5, 1.30 for 2
