The snack ads on the train say ‘Chowpatty ka maza, ghar baithe’ (the pleasure of Chowpatty Beach, sitting at home). But nocturnal futon noshing isn’t quite the same as littoral manuvres in the dark.

"Something walla" is possibly offering something that's also known as "Timepass" in Bombay jargon.

Oops, wrong photo, fixed.

All the rides were hand-powered, and not even hand-cranked -- there are no machines from classical physics being used here :) Kids get rides in little kiddie cars that are hand-pushed, the merry-go-rounds I saw are hand-rotated and so on.
"something "walla is selling spiced chana and peanuts with a dash of lime juice...
"My milk gola brings all the boys to the yard"
LMAO!!!
