artificial jewellery shop on theagaraya road

Jil mil is a well known address in pondy bazaar.So we heard from a friend of ours whose daughter got married recently.We were seeing the wedding album and I was asking her about the jewellery which was very impressive. She said it is the usual GRT and narayana pearls and jil mil. I had not heard jil mil till then so wanted to be educated on the whereabouts. She was surprised and said everyone knows that it is the one stop shop for all jewellery needs. YOu buy a dress/saree and this is the shop you head to, before you head home!
Yes, I was ignorant, but took the first opportunity to remedy the situation. It is on pondy bazaar, the street market which makes the girls go crazy when they visit chennai. It is a three storeyed building actually and I was told is owned by the kumaran silks group. It has a massive car parking lot and that is a big big plus in chennai and more so in t nagar. I have been quite wary of any mention of tnagar and shopping thereon. If the crowds in the shops were not bad enough, the streets keep getting crazier with constant change of one way, no way and fly over diversions . And then there is the car park issue. No there is no issue actually, you cannot park your car anywhere. The bylanes surrounding the shopping area are also choc a bloc with cars not necessarily of the residents or their visitors. You have a choice to park your car half way back home and then get an auto to get back!
So the car parking lot is a big plus. The shop itself is truly astounding with its variety and choice of artificial jewellery of every shape, size and taste. If a girl cannot get her hearts content of accessories here then perhaps she can walk in straight into any of the fashion designing courses without any elaborate entry barriers.
I am truly mesmerised by the scope and scale of the shop. What if all girls decide one day that they will wear only grey colour trousers and white shirts all 365 days of the year and say no to any jewellery. Pondy bazaar will become a ghost bazaar.
Or if girls enmass follow the dictum " punnagai irukum pozhudu ponnagai en?"
