Can anyone tell me where to buy some things?

SJShin

I need to buy few stuffs and I can't find where to.. please help.

first thing to buy is a torch. I am traveling Mumbai and Aurangabad next week and they say I need a torch to see the caves.

second is a sleeping bag. Might not need but I have to ride night bus and train. Please give me some advise.

third is a film camera battery. I went to spencer plaza and I couldn't find any. it is a tiny battery named LR44 as small as your.. no my fingernail.

last is the shop to repair my backpack...

There are so much but if you know any, please tell me. Thank you.
Oh I live near Park Sherton Hotel on TTK road.

You should be able to buy a torch in just about any supermarket. Try Amma Nanna across the road from your hotel. I'd say it is essential equipment for anyone, caves or no caves. I even keep one in my shoulder bag, and it has come in very useful in concert auditoriums during power cuts.

I'm sure I've bought LR44s, maybe for a calculator or something. Try a small electrical shop. If you walk out of your hotel onto Chamiers Road (with Amma Nanna opposite), turn right, walk five minutes or so towards the being-built flyover, but not past it, you'll find an electrical shop among the row of small shops there.

Sleeping bag... don't know, but in the AC classes on trains you will be provided with sheets and a blanket.

I dont know where exactly is TTK Road, but dear once you come out, just stroll on the road, and below some tree, on some crossroads, some shady place you ought to find a cobbler, who will repair your backpack, provided it needs stiching, zip repairing. For your battery cell watch out for electronic shops, or better watch shops, shops selling watches. Torches you can also get on roadside, the Chinese LED torches they are damm cheap, else go to some fancy store, electrical shop, and buy a torch at costly price, but for your information you cant use torch in Aurnagabad, Ajanta and Ellora Caves, they inside have put up lighting, and even it is advised to toursits not to use flash while taking pictures, it is strictly enforced, so dont take pictures with flash on, and to just see the caves they already are illuminated by flood lighting.


Sleeping bag you cant use in BUS, I mean semi sleeper buses, you need to sleep just by half sitting, you cant fully sleep so how can you use sleeping bag, and in India I always find it funny to see foreigners sleeping, it looks like some luggage bag, here someone might think you sleeping in sleeping bag as some luggage, or even dead body, hehehe kidding but here no one uses sleeping bags, but you can get one in spencers, just search there, they ought to have one.

LR44 a sure bet would be Stationery shops that also have calculators.... They usually will have a box filled with small cells (LR44s and CR2032s and what not....) tucked away somewhere in the store....

That's a good idea, I didn't think of.

There is a small electric shop in Luz, Royapettah High Road (not one of the big appliance shops) on the left, that is good for odd batteries.
