Dont know whether it exists now! Also Karol Bagh in Delhi and of course my home town Cochin and its shopping lanes!
Shopping is every women’s hobby or pastime. Linking Road in Mumbai still exists but has become more crowded with people over the years. Fashion street in South Mumbai, a cluster of over 385 street side clothing shops has moved to MG Road near Azad Maidan and is opposite to Bombay Gymkhana, in South Mumbai, India.
