Gappa Tappa corner thread 10 - general discussions - Page 112

Well mishkil and ilu gave us readers nice thane darshan though personally have visited only once and had done some paddle boating in some lake in thane many years back.

@mishkil i am not a dadar resident though my school was in hindu colony dadar. I used to go there by school bus.

@mukta matunga had nice south indian snacks at udipi n then softie icecream close to it n madhu book depot which carried all scholarship n extensive academic books. My mom used to get library books from Abbas at kings circle.

@suraj camlin reminds me of their special compass box which had divider , etc math instruments which was mandatory in our school from 3rd grade ie standard luv camlin n. Also those scented rubbers to accessorize the pencil ends 😍

Miss those summer months buying new textbooks and books covering them with brown cover only with labels, also carrying milton waterbags for cool water n lunch boxes to keep lunch hot.

Those were 😎😎😎 cool days

About Central Matunga, the thing I liked the most was Frankies and Dabeli just behind Khalsa College. There were about 3 colleges in that area, one of them mine. There were quite a few Xerox centres from where we would get Xeroxes of all the books before our exam leave started. There was a small tea stall where they would sell great samosas and there was an Irani cafe that had great Brun-Maska. I can still tase the tea.

Last time I visited about 3-4 years back, We went to have our routine tea in Irani cafe but it was shutdown, however Mhatre was still in operation and so were Frankies. The xerox centers were also still there, I guess even in times of ebooks students still prefer Xerox copies of text books.

Yes it was quite busy place ie khalsa vjti n udct campuses n also that don bosco school who we used to tease as dabba batliwala school as boys in that school were most ANNOYING

They have changed UDCT's name now. VJTI's name has also been changed but initials remain the same, I think.

UDCT, Khalsa and VJTI are bang opposite each other with only a road separating them.

There is a coffee house in that area. The smell of the coffee when you would pass the shop was just too good. I think it was on the way to Matunga station.

Ghodagadi ne Marine Drive to Chowpatty was the best ride. I remember sitting next to the tangewala a couple times. Gamdevi mhantale ki St. Columba High school athavte. All the women on my in laws side studied there. And men in St. Xavier's near Metro or Robert Money.
