Filter Shop in Mumbai has been on my to do list for the longest time. I saw Filter Shop’s photo somewhere and I have always wanted to visit. I was very excited when the opportunity to visit Filter Shop finally came. Three Japanese friends of mine came to visit me in Mumbai, so I showed them around the city that my family and I call home. I am very happy to live in Mumbai, so I wanted to show the best part of Mumbai to them. If you live overseas, you know the excitement of seeing your old friends in your city, don’t you? Based on their interests, I planned sightseeing for them and I decided to take my friends to Kala Ghoda, Fort after visiting Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST). I will write about CST on another day.
I took my friends to Kala Ghoda, the area that has become an art center of Mumbai because it hosts many cool shops and restaurants. It’s the area where you can walk around and I highly recommend you go if you haven’t visited. Filter Shop is one of the shops you must visit if you are in the area. Just like seen in photos on Filter Shop website, the store was as cool as I imagined. There are many products that are unique to Filter Shop and I loved some of the items with images or words expressed with a very good sense of humor. I find it important to have a good sense of humor in life and surrounding yourself with reminders will put a smile on your face, you know?

When you go to Kala Ghoda, look for the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue which is a beautiful blue synagogue that is on V.B. Gandhi Marg. V.B. Gandhi Marg is one way and Filter Shop is after the Keneseth Eliyahoo Synagogue on your right.
Kaho I just love all your blogs, u live the life my friend. Love all the pics of your beautiful family, thank you for sharing. My family and I are headed back to Okinawa next month.
