Hi All,
Here I am with my next best street shopping
place. A place where people will not deny to shop.
Chor Bazaar
Literally meaning a ‘thieves’ market,’ Chor
Bazaar seems to have everything from mobile phones, motorcycle parts, to a
treasure trove of Bollywood movies! Earlier called the ‘Shor Bazaar,’ meaning
noisy market, the British couldn’t pronounce this correctly, which is how the
present name derived. Chor Bazaar is for those who want to get a bit
adventurous and explore beyond the obvious. It’s a great place for collectibles
from brassware, ceramic, or vintage crafts. They’ll be sure to steal some great
prices if they look hard enough. It’s best to roam Chor Bazaar with a local,
and early Friday mornings anywhere form 4-6am.
Chor Bazaar can be divided into many small sub
markets. As you enter the chor bazaar you will first pass through the
automobile section of the thieves market. In the automobile section you will
see various old scooters, bikes and cars being brought in and chopped down into
small pieces and their spare parts are collected and sold to other small
traders and shops in the market. It takes only a few minutes to chop down a
second hand or a stolen car by four people in this market. Various car and
scooter parts like engines, car doors, bike mud guards, scooter tyres, car
tyres, metal frames are collected and sold to other shops. These spare parts,
brakes, horns, engines are then sold to people wanting to buy them at throw
away prices.From this junk yard you could rescue broken down car parts and
build your own car. This is a paradise for automobile industry and automobile
makers who want to create their machines from scratch.
This is the mother of all stolen goods. There is
a Lane called Dedh Gully near Kamathipura and Chor Bazar in Mumbai, where every
Friday, between 4:00 am and 8:00 am, stolen branded shoes like NIKE, REEBOK,
ADIDAS, ALDO and many other international brands are sold at prices which you
would not imagine are sold. Many shoe stealing gangs are now a days are
stealing shoes from many housing societies, high profile actors and rich
people. Such shoes which would cost Rs 15,000 are sold at cheap prices like Rs
2,000 to Rs 4,000. Every friday, there are at least 80 to 90 shops operate here
between 4:00 am and 8:00 am
I hope
this information will be useful to you in future.
Stay connected.
Thankyou.
