After ages of wanting to feature Chor Bazaar, and after shooting the place some 3 odd times, finally here is the post. Chor bazaar literally translates to 'Thieves bazaar' is cluster of small streets each jam packed with shops that sell everything from tyres to old electronic spare parts to nails and hammers to gorgeous furniture to antiques to Bollywood posters, phew! And I haven't even mentioned the grandfather clocks, old ceramic plates, chandeliers, gramophones or typewriters. Mutton street, which is the address of the place is this mad conglomeration of the mundane and the sublime and what you get back from there is solely your discretion.

Hi I think its the pics that makes the place so interesting or why would an old rusty sign board look so amazingly beautiful.
