abstracts and some singularly practical creations like the carved wooden
table that might also be a stool. For further details, call (080) 558-1578.
Eatery
 Bangalore
just got its first ice cream and coffee boutique from Switzerland's Movenpick.
Read: premium ice creams, sundaes, an array of teas and coffees, and other
desserts. There's also a cone-making unit so you get freshly baked cones.
Prices range from Rs 50 for a 100 ml ice cream pack to Rs 395 for a one
litre pack. It's on St Mark's Road. Telephone: (080) 299-6855.
DELHI
Boutique
 Azeem
Khan, the much talked about young Mumbai designer, has opened his first
boutique in the capital. Azeem Khan Couture on the Mehrauli-Gurgaon
road stocks outfits in the Rs 15,000-1.65 lakh range. "Since 99 per
cent of my clients are NRIs, frequent travellers or have homes abroad,
most of my clothes are fusion," he says. It's mostly womenswear,
though he does menswear on request. If you want customised style, Khan
might even fly over to Delhi to meet you. Telephone: (011) 680-0997.
CHENNAI
Book Store
 The
city's largest bookshop just got a second branch. The new Landmark
in Chennai not only sells the usual range of books, CDs and stationery,
it also has sections where you can buy home products and children's garments.
Take a break from your shopping with some snacks, drinks and ice creams
at the in-house restaurant. It's in Spencer Plaza. Telephone: (044) 852-4455.
MUMBAI
Water Sports
 For
a seaside city, Mumbai surprisingly has not so far had a club wholly devoted
to water sports. That's why H2O on Marine Drive, partly owned by
film star Sunil Shetty, is likely to make a splash. There are beach, joy
and adventure rides; hi-speed jet boats to be chartered; heritage cruises;
rowing, fishing, wind-sailing vessels and jet ski handling courses on
offer here. Among joy rides, take your pick from bay, sunset and moonlight
cruises (Rs 150 for 45 minutes). Telephone: (022) 367-7584/546.
