Work has so far plugged most of my stay at Shanghai. However, exploration runs deep and I did indeed extricate some time out – here and there.
A couple of visits to Nanjing Road were enough to convince me, if there be compiled a list of shopping paradises in the world – this one makes it. Nestled in the heart of the city and well connected by the metro line, Nanjing Street transports you in to a world and a vision, built on conviction. The walk is, well – crowded (as you would expect in Shanghai or for that matter China) and dizzying. As you make your way on this walkstreet(traffic is not allowed),you get jostled by hawkers – ‘You want Role-es(Rolex)?’ to ‘You want gal?’!!!
As you trundle past bevies and squint past glares of advertisements – the progress conjures itself(and the generous use of electricity) – and also conjures a dream someone had projected – ‘Mumbai will be Shanghai’ – and you shall smirk.
The road eventually ends on ‘The Bund’ along the banks of Huangpu River. To get the topography cleared Huangpu splits Shanghai in to two – Pudong and Puxi. All this while we were in Puxi and as you saunter and hit at the banks – Pudong skyline gazes at you. The Pearl Tower beams down at Huangpu, appreciative of its manifestation in the waters.
Ohh yes! I almost forgot what do you get to eat? Everything! Unless you are a vegetarian, of course. There are a couple of Pizza Huts yes, else you have this option –

like.no.other
Ring out the old, Ring in the new- someone said,
Beauty and performance, inter-twined and well-bred.
Elegance personified in every touch and every curve,
Caress - seeped in love and delicacy, performance in verve.
Purity effervesced in your every stroke and in the rind you did boast,
Sincerity thy name, many victories did we toast!
Glimpses of treasure I encapsulated in your bosom,
Thick or thin, with trust - you served me fulsome.
