SPIRIT OF MUMBAI

Indian fascination with Jewelry starts quite early in life as we are called Sona , Sonu ( Gold ) and we grow up watching Weddings, Gods, Goddesses, TV serials dazzling with still more Gold, Diamonds, Emeralds, Rubies, Sapphires, Jades, Corals etc. Even our legendary popular epics Ramayana and Mahabharata weaves glorious stories about jewelry of Sita, Kaikeyi, Urvashi, Pururava, Satyavati, Kunti, Droupadi, Karna, Ashwathama, Krishna, and even the villain Ravana in glitzy details.

Most of the bottled juices sold in India are processed or contain added preservatives, which ruin the healthy benefits of fruits / vegetables.

Chocostle's fame was sweetly devoured through it's divine essence. The glittering wrappers of the chocolates added glitz to Chocostle's fragrant glamour. Chocostle had slurpy doors choc-a-bloc with Kit Kat and Dairy-Milk bars. The windows were studded with Marsh-mellows and Fox-candies. The turrets were adorned with Krispy Kreme donuts and the terrace was tiled with Lindt bars. The courtyard  of the Chocostale was decorated with Ferrero Rochers , Mars and Patchi.

They used to renovate their Chocostle once every week by distributing the chocolates and candies to their citizens. It was world's most magical-wo...
