Christmas 2023: Why this Santa Claus from Mumbai no longer celebrates Christmas?

Christmas 2023: Why this Santa Claus from Mumbai no longer celebrates Christmas?

It’s time for Christmas 2023! People around the world wait for this time of the year when their beloved Santa Claus showers them with gifts and joy. Willy Black of Khotachiwadi has played Santa for years in Mumbai’s beloved tourist hotspot Khotachiwadi! But since the last few years, his spirit has been dampened and Khotachiwadi doesn't see his Santa spirit anymore. The reason? One of Mumbai’s most famous tourist hotspots - Khotachiwadi is paying the price for being a heritage marvel. Tourists have been trespassing on residents' households and incidents of theft and accidents have pretty common in once-a-quiet village. Once Willy’s songs attracted crowds from far and wide and he welcomed guests with open arms to a display of his cherished belongings! But today, Willy keeps his doors shut for all that he has got in return is damage to his property! The greatest Christmas present for this Santa of Khotachiwadi would be to see his Khotachiwadi as peaceful, safe and serene as it used to be!

Ice Gola at Mumbai’s Girgaon Chowpatty is a must-try street food in the Summers

Mumbai’s Girgaon Chowpatty is not only famous to serve breezy beach walks along a magnificent skyline but also the most lip-smacking street food that one can ever relish. This place is not only thronged by beach lovers but foodies who travel from far and wide just to dig into their favourite Pav bhaji, Chowmein or Bhelpuri at Girgaon Chowpatty. However, during the summer months, what steals the show is the iconic Ice Gola. We tried out one of the popular Ice Gola stalls at Girgaon Chowpatty named Jai Jawan Stall and we were in for a treat.
