Elevators can be fascinating: you never know which world they will open their doors to. Though Haruki Murakami is better suited to develop on the magical realism of elevators, as he did in one of his popular books, let us tell you about a particular incident.

After a long day at work, we zip along the Western Express Highway to arrive at Gabbana House in Khar West. We enter a shoddily maintained building where we spot a receptionist who looks positively adrift. A short flight of stairs leads us to the elevator - the buttons don't work, the panels malfunction, but we finally manage to press '2'. The doors open and voila! We are in another world.
