Next stop. quirky bliss!

Mumbai, Andheri: In the midst of a busy street, where one would least expect it to be , is the very garish two storied, Bliss Store. If you are someone who is peppy, loves colors and is into contemporary designer décor than this place is for you.

The yellow and blue walls of the store do justice to the quirky atmosphere one is welcomed with. The Bliss carnival which recently took place, last weekend, saw young budding designers showcasing their quirky bit. A toilet shaped ash tray to a butterfly shaped wall hanger, a bucket turned into a well cushioned stool to a big square printed bean bag, one could easily find the most unusual home furniture here. It was clear that designers in their own way had tried to depict the new, loud and ‘hinglish’ speaking generation. A hand bag saying ‘kuch bhi’ (whatever), a shot glass saying ‘glass humara, daaru tumhara’ (my glass, your booze) and batches saying ‘ayi lowee u’ (I love you) are just among the few things that makes one want to buy the whole store off, lest the next time you enter all the stuff gets upgraded and out of stock.

For those who have looked all over the city for their favorite band t-shirts, your search ends here. Bliss in collaboration with ‘Bombay Merch’ has launched t-shirts with the well-known musicians and actors printed on them. Pink Floyd, ACDC, Batman, you name it and they’ll have it. In all sizes too. One can also find the brand ‘Paperwalla Art’ which showcases 3D art with paper and uses irony as their USP.

One could walk into the store gloomy and sad but it is assured that no one leaves the store without a bagful of whacky goodies and happiness on their faces. Truly blissful!
