I really love wearing Indian jewellery. One of the first types that I bought was toe rings. I got my first pair from New Market in Kolkata….

Shopping in India
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ...I’m quite a fan of Hinduism’s most beloved god, Lord Ganesh, also affectionately known as Ganpatti. We’ve got quite a few statues and wall hangings of Ganpatti in our apartment. Last night, I couldn’t resist getting another one! Even my husband agreed it was a bargain….

Recently, I became tired of feeling like I should be wearing more, and bigger, jewellery in India. When someone told me that my nose ring was way to small (I’ve worn a tiny diamond in my nose since I got it pierced nearly four years ago) I decided to treat myself to a new nose ring….

The peanut butter has run out. My husband tried to get some more but even after going to a number of nearby stores, he was unsuccessful. He returned home not very impressed, and sounding a lot like me….

Today, we went to one of India’s finest shopping extravaganzas — an “Exhibition cum Sale” of handicrafts. These huge fairs are often held in Mumbai at the Bandra Reclaimation ground. If you ever get the chance to go to one, don’t miss the opportunity. You’ll find every type of handicraft imaginable there….

At last I gave into the relentless Indian summer heat and bought an air conditioner for the bedroom. It’s really starting to get humid in Mumbai now. The constant sweating is making me so tired.

I discovered HyperCity in Malad today. It’s India’s largest hypermarket, and really is something to get hyper about. The place is a HUGE 120,000 square foot, two level store, selling everything from food to furniture. There’s even a proper meat section, with sanitized properly packaged chicken. No live chickens anywhere in sight….

One of the frustrating things about shopping in India is that in most places, you can’t walk in and browse the shelves like in the West. Here, the shop keeper stands behind the counter and you have to ask for what you want. I guess it had to happen some time then. My first frustrating encounter with the language barrier in Mumbai….

I’ve learned some colloquial Hindi for going shopping. As usual, it’s different from the Hindi straight out of a text book….

Fortunately there’s no bird flu in Mumbai, so chicken is on the menu tonight. I’m going to do grilled marinated chicken breast using the electric grill that I “imported” — after paying all that customs duty on it, I’d better put it to very good use! My sweetheart had to go out and get the chicken….
