Little India
Over the weekend, I was introduced to a computer game - ‘Bookworm’ at www.popcap.com. Hence, I overslept and missed yoga class on sunday. I woke up at 2.15pm.
As I had craving for dosai at komalas villa, dad and me braved the sunday crowd in Little India. We walked into Mustafa and discovered a whole new world. Everything was incredibly cheap. Really. You got to trust me, I’m quite a shopping queen and when it comes to grocery and household product, I really know my stuff.
I bought a Casio dress watch for $37. Cheap right? I wanted to save money to buy myself a Tag Heuer. But no point. I will contiune to buy cheap but good Casio watch from now on. Why? Simply because, I rather pay for quality than some fashion watch like Guess Watches.
I also bought a Tefal Electric Kettle for BS for only $40+. for his new flat. Dad bought a couple of classy business pens as gifts.
I’m totally impressed with Mustafa. Except, I felt like I was a low class citizen in a 3rd world country and the smell is quite a put off too.

(1) The first shop was established in 1971 in Campbell Lane in Little India, selling ready made garments.
