you've gotta eat, shop & love this bazaar

On Saturday, 11 am to 9 pm
Where Candies @ Mac Ronells, 5AA Pali Hill, next to Learners Academy, Bandra (W).
Call 26424125



There are few things we love as much as lugging our tray of salads, Dragon Chicken and mini tarts up the steps of Candies. This Saturday, as you do the same, you will find it tough to resist splurging on a trinket or two from the 25 stalls that will dot this popular snack shack's Pali outlet.

At Bazaar & Bling, you can pick up deliciously scented beeswax candles from the brand Crawford Market Candles, by David Crawford (who happens to be the great great nephew of Arthur Travers Crawford, the first municipal commissioner and collector of Bombay). Pyjama Party's handpainted Buddha surrounded by floral motifs finds its way onto a kettle that you just can't resist pouring from. Beverly Pereira's Bag in a Bag gives you some fab waterproof bag organisers that work beautifully in plugging that black hole that your handbag has become of late, while Colour Nymph's splash of colours on tunics and dresses can brighten up even a grey Monday.

Shruti Chopra's Bootika might bring a certain voluptuous image to mind, but is actually a brand that creates lovely hand-painted bags, belts and tees. An NGO will also be selling bags made by under-privileged women. Get there around 2.30 pm and you might just catch some fab Tango and Break Dance performances.

Drive from Worli to Colaba as you go about cracking the city-centric clues. Proceeds from the hunt will go towards child relief and winners stand a chance to win spa vouchers, decorative gifts, nonstick cookware and cell phones.

Be part of the big Bandra conspiracy
on Saturday and Sunday
log on to http://theartloft.co.in/act/doc/ACT_programme.pdf (for the entire schedule of events)

Before you get all holy and uptight, let us clarify that the sinister-sounding Art Conspiracy is actually a brainchild of Art Loft and is intended to celebrate all forms of art, across the hippest locations in the Queen of the 'burbs. Share poems that you wish you had written, or the ones that have inspired you when you were down in the dumps, at Taxxi & Vitamin K store (4 pm on Sunday) or watch short films and witness a joint performance by a graffiti artist and an opera singer (Caf ufffd Goa on Saturday).

You can also participate in the anti-fashion show (6 pm on Saturday at Bonobo) or splash your graffiti on the walls at Chapel Road.u00a0 Don't miss the grand finale (8 pm on Sunday at the Bandra Fort) that will see a melange of belly and capoeira dancers, fire performers, opera singers,
percussionists and break dancers.
