You had an advantage over us in knowing Bajaj Probiking in the first place. We come from a culture in the US in which a bike is a bicycle. And until this experience I wouldn't know a Bajaj Probiking product if it came up to me on the street and introduced itself.

I did a search for Bajaj Probiking Showroom Delhi. Got 2 places, Vasant Vihar and CP. But how did you know the showroom was in Delhi? We knew, because we took the picture. And we knew precisely (from proximity to Nirula's) which block of CP it was on. But it took us half an hour of Googling, chasing "motorcycle showroom" and such, to come up with the Bajaj name.
Nice work!

Doesn't look to us as if the scene is urban enough for Park Street or Sudder Street, nor anywhere else in Kolkata.
We leaned toward Kumaon, Uttaranchal.
Tried Almora first, and it looked promising for the rick-rack woodwork. But nearly all Almora windows seem to be square-headed, not round-arched; and we didn't often see new construction jammed up against old.
Tried Nainital, but it all seemed posher, and anyway there were balconies and square-headed windows again. Tried Ranikhet and Landsdowne and Kausani, but they didn't pan out.
On a new tack, tried Shimla, but it wasn't right. Mussoorie seemed better – lots of rick-rack, shops open top the street, new up against old. Distaff is willing to stick with Mussoorie. (But secretly she really likes Almora.)
I'm not quite satisfied, though. I lean more toward Landour: rick-rack, shops-open-to-street, new-against-old – and they have a lotta round-arched windows.

The boy's uniform helped. Did a search for Probiking showroom in Mumbai and Delhi. In Mumbai students do not have a coat for uniform (except for a few). So took chance with Delhi.
