Photographs - In and around Colaba Causeway.

The best part of walking around in Colaba Causeway is the varied street photography option it provides. 

During my recent walk there, I concentrated on clicking the sort of wares/items on display in the roadside stalls and shops, around this place, and the stall owners. If the glitzy & glamorous shops do tremendous business, these street vendors give them a tough competition & run for their money. 

I got off at Churchgate station and walked up to Flora fountain.  Spent some time observing the place and moved ahead towards Kala Ghoda.

Near Flora Fountain. ITC Gold Flake cartons, my dad's brand. Instantly caught my attention.

Even before reaching Kala Ghoda area - A bookstall owner setting up his business.

Shawls, stoles and more.

The stalls which sell varieties of
yummy sandwiches.

That was an interesting break for me.  After enjoying a leisurely 'spicy sandwich', walked ahead. Around Kala Ghoda too, one can find many stalls selling eatables like chaats, sandwich and also something to quench your thirst.  Some of the stalls are of Sugarcane juice, tender coconut water and fresh fruit juices.  One may also opt to have a bottle of chilled Pepsi from the nearby stalls.

                              

Feeling thirsty? You can help yourself to a glass of Mosambi juice
or tender coconut water- at Kala Ghoda.

Something for kids too!  The colour paper fans which tiny tots
love to watch when the paper blades turn swiftly on a breezy day.

Enough time spent near Kala Ghoda area, I walked towards the Colaba Causeway, my much awaited destination.  The street is always bustling with people - tourists, visitors, hawkers, students and many others with varied interests.

A rather relaxed morning it is!

              

The typical Colaba Causeway special - accessories' stall.

check out the sort of items on display & sale

Varieties of stone beads. match your dress with one of those neck pieces.

While one strolls on the street, it is difficult to pass by one of the most popular eatery on Colaba causeway and not hop in for a quick bite.

At the 'Leopold cafe'!! The dessert options are just irresistible - Colaba Causeway

After walking leisurely along the street, I finally took the turn to the left and walked up towards the Taj Mahal Palace and Towers hotel, heritage wing.  The Sun was right above my head and the heat was a bit too much to tolerate.  Slowly, I continued walking from there towards the Gateway of India, to check the sort of activity on the street there.

Oh the place was full of energy - hundreds of visitors! And the busy hawkers striking their deal.
