Panvel Mall, Big Bazaar and Movie Theatre Update - January 2014:
Panvel now has its very first Shopping Mall - K Mall as well as Mukta Cinemas. The Mall is located opposite Panvel station (Old Panvel) and now houses Big Bazaar. This comes as a great relief to Panvel residents who had to travel all the way to Kharghar or Vashi for shopping in a mall.

Annu: I feel something's burning, so much smoke!
Mrinal: No I think it's fog.
Annu: Kuch bhi, fog kaise hoga. Abhi toh Vashi mein itni heat thi. Pakka smoke hai... itne saare log bhi jama hain! (exaggeration ki aadat se majboor)

Koparkhairane was abuzz with Janamashtami celebrations yesterday (August 22, 2011). The D-Mart/Panchratna restaurant junction and the one near HDFC bank branch saw hundreds of enthusiasts and Govinda tolis. Rain did not hamper the spirits as both male and female Govindas formed pyramids and the onlookers encouraged them!

- Auto rickshaw passenger to a Mercedes owner
Traveling by auto rickshaws in Navi Mumbai has always been an expensive affair. But ever since the fares increased (around 2 weeks ago), it's decreasing the weight of my wallet. Earlier the meter used to read Rs 31-33 from Koparkhairane station to Vashi station and we used to pay around 45 rupees.

But ever since the road construction work has begun between Vashi (from Blue Diamond hotel junction) to Koparkhairane (a little before D mart), this road has very slow moving traffic. Worst, especially on weekends, there's heavy traffic jam at Palm Beach road in the evenings between Vashi-Koparkhairane.

And ever since the satellite city has been impressing me. Much lesser crowd, broader roads, less crowded trains, lesser pollution and population, bigger and better malls and Navi Mumbai's well-planned layout has made me much attached to the place. So I proudly say that I stay here.
