I wrote about Kala Ghoda Cafe on my food blog, and had to mention Obataimu, the gorgeous pop up menswear store behind it. ‘It’s like being back in Melbourne’, I thought when as I entered and five minutes later, two Australian girls declared those exact words. Almost in a secret alleyway, the guerilla shop is beautifully curated. I imagine much thought and consideration went into choosing the products and objects in store, I have big admiration for founder-designer Noorie Sadarangani who built the store from the ground up in under two weeks.
An eclectic assortment of clothing, furniture, knick knacks, vintage wares, wooden spectacle frames and handpicked books and games. The video with the clue of the shop’s location had me very curious and it was a lot like I’d imagined. The Japanese pronunciation (and word) for overtime, Obataimu embraces a design philosophy that propagates a leisurely way of living.
The only way to live?
P.S. My friend Vitek Goyel has a musical showcase there next Friday.

You are awesome. It isn’t very often I see 2d versions of people on their blogs and think aloud how incredible it would be to have known them. I’m also very inspired to get off my ass and take fire dancing lessons.
