I had carefully jotted down the details that Google had churned out – Sector 17, 22, and 9 for clothes, Palika Bazaar in Sector 19 for cosmetic jewellery, the jams and juices from Himachal Pradesh and so on and so forth. But the visits to these sectors was pretty disappointing – maybe because we landed there at around 10:30 in the morning when the business is supposed to just start.
There weren’t any street stalls selling cosmetic jewellery, the cloth stacked in the shops had so much of embroidery that it would be simply impractical to use the dresses made out of it on a daily basis. The colors were too garish for my taste. And I wasn’t sure if the cloth would be suitable for the hot and humid weather of Mumbai. So I gave them a clear miss.
The only purchases we made were a pair of beautiful pillow covers for Rs. 100 (Shastri Market, sector 22), a bottle of tea tree oil & lemon based anti-dandruff shampoo (Rs. 200), a Jasmine soap (Rs. 110) and a honey-sandalwood soap (Rs. 110) - all purchased at Honey Hut, sector 22. I haven’t yet used the soaps or shampoo but hope that they are worth the price paid.
