So there we were, celebrating a friend's one year anniversary in Mumbai, another a new-bee to the dream city, and me a 'so-called' Mumbaite; all of us thrilled after a heavy breakfast to explore Masjid of all the places!
After crossing the millions of attar (perfume) shops, and the over crowded road side stalls.. we finally reached our destination...
Mutton street in Chor Bazaar (Thieves market)!!
Though high priced, this place has got a great collection of antique furniture... Chest, rocking chairs, small bar cabinets, wooden chariots.. name it.. and you get!
Even the worst of the worst movie posters find their way to this market!
And shops solely dedicated to clocks...grandfather clocks, grandmother clocks... they are all there!
And Gramophones!
If you have ever been interested in extinct advertisements then this is a perfect place to explore...
One of the coco cola ads went like this 'The ideal beverage for discriminating people!'
And of course all the colorful junk is worth a look!
In all, place worth exploring with good company. Though most junks are high priced, bargaining works!

Looking at the number of black and white family photographs, we started wondering if we could find our lineage in the streets of Chor Bazaar!
